England hero Sir Geoff Hurst's position as an FA ambassador and McDonald's representative is under threat after he was condemned for his reluctance to be formally interviewed by the inquiry team looking into child abuse at Chelsea.
Clive Sheldon QC published his long-awaited four-year investigation into sexual abuse in football between 1970 to 2005 and pointedly drew attention to the fact that England's World Cup hat-trick hero had declined to be formally interviewed by Chelsea's own inquiry into sexual abuse crimes committed by Eddie Heath, a chief scout sacked by Hurst in 1979, during his time as Chelsea manager.
