An autographed gift from Geoff Hurst is typically worth PS14.99. His signature can be found on the inside front cover of The Albums, his book about British music history that was published in 2012. Geoff Hurst was a Welsh footballer who played as a forward for Southampton and the England national team. He is considered one of the greatest players in the history of football and has been voted by his peers as the best player of his generation. Hurst made his debut for Southampton in April 1949 at the age of 17 years and 10 months, and scored on his debut against West Bromwich Albion. He went on to score 76 goals in 175 games for the Saints, before moving to North American soccer club Boston Beacons in May 1951. There he won the first of two League Championships with the club. After one season with the Beacons, Hurst returned to Southampton where he finished his career in 1953 after just three games for Southampton Town FC due to personal reasons. He later said that he had decided not to continue playing because he didn't want to break his promise to Boston Beaches not to transfer clubs in the close-season.
