Hurst would be right. Another note on other prolific strikers mentioned..Camsell and Dean both benefitted from defences adapting (or failing to) a change in offside law in 20s which saw goals flying in for a couple seasons. Greaves by contrast plied his trade during time when teams becoming tighter and more defensively minded- Ramsey's Wingless Wonders, the XI from whom he was scandalously omitted, being a case in point.
