Sir Geoff Hurst has laid down the gauntlet to Bobby Zamora to force his way into Fabio Capello's Euro 2012 squad.
Zamora started England's 1-0 friendly victory over Sweden and Hurst insists the Fulham striker should be among the 23-man party Capello brings with him to Poland and Ukraine next summer.
England's 1966 World Cup hero said: "I like Zamora and think he's underrated.
"He's pushing 30 but he's got a great opportunity to put his name in the picture. He's one I like and I think he has a good chance."
With Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney suspended for the group stages of the tournament, the main striker's berth is up for grabs.
Hurst - who famously capitalised on Jimmy Greaves' absence in '66 before netting a hat-trick in the final against Germany - reckons one of them can repeat his achievement and make the most of Rooney's suspension.
Hurst added: "The great thing with Wayne Rooney having three games off is that it creates a huge opportunity for other players to make sure they're in the team or on the bench next year.
