I WANT 2018 TO BE ANOTHER 1966: MULHOLLAND

November 22, 2005 12:00 AM

As Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West, joins the campaign for England to bid for the 2018 World Cup Finals, he meets with World Cup football legend Geoff Hurst in Westminster to discuss what more can be done to encourage young people to take up the sport. Sir Geoff, who was in Westminster to promote football, met with MPs to discuss what more can be done to encourage the game at grass roots level.

Commenting, Greg said:

"It was a real pleasure to meet a sporting legend who has played such a crucial part in this country's sporting history.

"Holding the world cup was incredible but I hope it won't be too much longer before a future England team get their hands on it!"

"The finals in 1966 were unique but the finals in 2018 could inspire a whole new generation and I hope to help make that happen."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
