HURST: THE FIRST AND ONLY

Hurst: The First and Only charts some incredible highs and little-known lows as the sporting legend talks for the first time about the tragedies which have mirrored his remarkable achievements. Hitting football’s highest heights compares little to losing a brother to suicide and a daughter to a brain tumour. And six years after Hurst’s glittering career came to an end, he found himself on the dole.

This is a life shaped by glory and tragedy, fame and normality. The story is told in the company of friends and peers like Harry Redknapp, Harry Kane, Gareth Southgate, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer amongst others.

And it is more, much more, than a football documentary: at heart this is a very human story, revealing the man behind the statues (there are four of them) and the accolades.

A return for Ron Scalpello and Matthew Lorenzo, the team behind Bobby, this is the definitive portrayal of a hero for our times.
