EDITORS COMMENTS
Geoff Hurst, former Stoke City and England footballer, takes a break from the pitch to serve up some spirits at his own establishment - The Sheet Anchor Hotel in Whitmore, Staffordshire. In this 1975 snapshot captured by Kevin Fitzpatrick, we see Geoff skillfully pouring Lambs Navy Rum into a glass behind the pub's well-stocked bar. Having bid farewell to international football in 1972 after an unfortunate loss to West Germany in the European Championship, Geoff embarked on a new chapter of his life as both a businessman and player. This iconic image showcases his transition from sporting hero to publican extraordinaire. Dressed impeccably in a short-sleeved shirt that epitomizes 1970s fashion trends for men, Geoff exudes charm and confidence as he tends to patrons' libation needs. His dedication to providing quality service is evident not only through his expert handling of drinks but also through the pride he takes in owning such an esteemed establishment. Beyond his illustrious playing career with clubs like West Bromwich Albion, Cork Celtic, and Seattle Sounders before retiring in 1976; Geoff's entrepreneurial spirit shines brightly within these walls. As visitors revel in the ambiance of The Sheet Anchor Hotel today, they can appreciate how one man's passion for both football and hospitality has left an indelible mark on Staffordshire.
