I met him in the street in London in1989,lovely man very friendly and polite,I got to blurt out the he was my hero and he signed my cheque book.Taken far too young RIP Bobby.
In Peru 🇵🇪 I heard about his quality as a great player, I never saw him playing, I'm 40, and I just saw the RU-vid videos and I really can see how great he was on the pitch, long live Bobby Moore, viva Bobby Moore, un tremendo jugador.
Bobby Moore oozed class on the pitch, a natural leader who played with a calmness and efficiency and controlled any situation on the pitch with skill and with the minimum off fuss. A great defender ,and a great man, ....Bobby Moore (RIP)
Odd to relate but true... I had no interest in soccer and have only been to one game. I lived in London and everyone knew who Bobby Moore was. On the day, or maybe the day after, he was dismissed as England captain I was going home at about 3am in a taxi on Oxford Street and saw him walking alone. I was shy but got the taxi to stop and offered him a lift. I ended up taking him back to my flat in Regents Park for a drink for a few hours. I don't remember what we talked about and am surprised it happened but it did! Seemed a very nice man.
Un immense Monsieur, la grande classe sur le terrain, c'était mon idole lorsque j'avais 14 à 17 ans, sur mon maillot j'avais mis son Nom......Une exceptionnelle technique, une vision du jeu incroyable. Merci Monsieur Moore, reposez en paix, chapeau à cette grande vedette du football.
Bought my dad the Bo66y dvd for fathers day i can highly recommend it, what a man shame our players dont have half his approach to football. The extras which include tributes from wayne Rooney who barley know anything about bobby, shocking no wonder we are crap now.
The clip from 4-16 to 4-35 was filmed at the old (now demolished) West Ham Stadium at Custom House a short distance from the West Ham football ground at Upton Park, It was a huge stadium, bigger than Wembley and West Ham trained there before the 1964 FA cup final to try to get a feeling of what it would be like to play in a Stadium of that size.
I don't know if many know this story, but I'll relate it anyway.... During a match, Moore ripped his shorts. A new pair was ran out onto the pitch while his teammates surrounded him for privacy's sake. While the crowd silently awaited, a mighty Herefordian accent bellowed out, "BARE ASS BOBBY, INYA ?" much to the delight of the fans, the crowd laughed in unison. This was related by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, who's bandmates (who hailed from Hereford) loved that proclimation & used it as their catch phrase to induce juvenile sniggering among themselves while bored, drunk or whatever while on tour. Well, the guys from Hereford loved it. She saw the humor, but is a Yank from Akron, OH., and kinda let the boys be boys....
England's version of franz beckenbauer... like all great players he always seemed to find time and space.... straight back head always up playing the game as if it's chess... the game against Brazil in 1970 was for me bobby Moore at his peak.... the true art of defending against skill and pace....if it wasn't for Moore Brazil would have torn England apart
Fake legend from an arranged World Cup.! English referee for the game Germany vs Uruguay?? German referee for the game England vs Argentina..?? Shameful championship.!!
Assuming that you have a valid argument, then you should be equally offended by Maradona's disgraceful 1-st goal against England; but I doubt that you are!!! Also, in 1978 W. Cup according to FIFA's own rules, last games of each group should have been played simultaneously, so no team would have an unjust advantage; but Argentina match against Peru was played after Brazil had beaten Poland 3-0, so Argentina knew in advance exactly how many goals they need to score to reach the final. Are you equally offended by that shameful W. Cup?!!!! In the same W. Cup, Argentina was late 5 minutes for the final; would Argentina dare to be late should they were not the host?!!!! According to Ruud Krol Holland's captain, their bus on their way to the stadium was bombarded with rocks thrown at the Bus windows by the honorable Argentine fans, to the point that the Dutch players were afraid for their safety. Do you call such acts honorable or shameful?!!!! Before even the game began, your honorable captain Passarella objected to Rene Van Der Kerkhof's wrist band due to the injury that had happened to him in Holland's 1-st game against Iran!!! Mind you, Rene played with the same bondage on his wrist against Peru, Scotland, Austria, W. Germany and Italy, and none of those teams raised any objection!! So, was it honorable for Argentina to play such dirty tricks or were all those actions completely shameful?!!!! And mind you; your allegations are subjective assumptions; mines are objective facts!!! AS for Bobby Moore being a fake legend: Both Pele and Beckenbauer have described him as the best defender in the world at his time!! So much for your objectivity in your comment!!!!
