I always got the impression that he was bitter about Ramsey dropping him in 66 and what his replacement did in the final.

Like TOBW said I was not a fan of the TV persona but his footballing record speaks for itself.

RIP.
I wasnt even born in 66 but didnt he get injured and Hurst replaced him and Ramsey decided to stick with Hurst for the final.

History may have been so different if subs were allowed in 66.
