Southgate reminds me of Ramsey, says Hurst

Sir Geoff Hurst has compared Gareth Southgate to Alf Ramsey as he tipped England to emulate his 1966 World Cup winning side.

The 76-year-old said: “The leadership at the top is vital. We had a terrific manager in Alf Ramsey, who had a great system and he selected a team that could be successful and had good characters. We’ve seen the leadership with Southgate being very impressive, which has engendered a good team spirit.

“I would say, categorically, quite clearly, we can win it, without a shadow of doubt.”
