It's not every nineteen-year-old who's door-stepped at their Hackney bedsit by a national newspaper. But that's what's happened to Geoffhurst, a young black teenager who's trying to forget that eight years ago he witnessed something no child should ever see - that even with his lazy eye he couldn't help but stare right in the face. Before that, there had always been superheroes in Geoffhurst's life. No other kid on the estate could boast a six-foot-tall mother who saved lives, a father who was a professional footballer and an aunt who was a witch. There was no doubt - Geoffhurst was cool, the summer was hot, and with his alter-ego the Hulk, and his gang the Four Aces, life after those melting months of 1976 should have stayed as magical as ever. But sometimes even superheroes meet their match, and that year the storms that cracked the skies spelt more than just the end of summer; they spelt the end of Geoffhurst's childhood.
