England's Euro 2016 squad is the most exciting since the World Cup winning team of 1966, says Sir Geoff Hurst.

Hurst scored a hat-trick in that World Cup final victory 50 years ago and praised the current crop of players as they arrived at their base in Chantilly, France.

Roy Hodgson's squad has an average age of 25 - the youngest at the tournament.

Hurst said: "It's the most exciting squad since '66 - people like Dele Alli have come in and been very refreshing."

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Hurst added: "He's played, even in the friendlies, like it's the World Cup final."
