Hurst, a former West Ham striker, feels that Mark Bellingham's actions were unacceptable.

He stated, "A thing that's irritated me is a picture in one of the papers about the most powerful man in English football — and it's Jude Bellingham's father."

Hurst continued, "He was complaining when his son was taken off in a game — and that is an absolute joke."

He emphasized the importance of maintaining a professional attitude, saying, "If you don't eradicate that kind of thing, that is an absolute disgrace."
