'''Robert Frederick Chelsea Moore''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|OBE}} (12 April 1941&nbsp;– 24 February 1993) was an English professional [[Association football|footballer]]. He [[Captain (association football)|captained]] [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] for more than ten years, and was the captain of the [[England national football team|England national team]] that won the [[1966 FIFA World Cup]]. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest [[Defender (association football)|defenders]] in the history of football, and was cited by [[Pelé]] as the greatest defender he had ever played against.<ref name="bobbymoore19412">{{cite web|url=http://www.bobbymoore.co.uk/Quotes.html|title=Bobby Moore 1941–1993|publisher=Bobbymoore.co.uk|access-date=31 May 2010}}</ref> Moore is considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.90min.com/posts/50-greatest-footballers-all-time-ranked |title= The 50 greatest footballers of all time |access-date=26 April 2023|publisher=[[90min]] |date=13 May 2019}}</ref>

Widely regarded as West Ham's greatest ever player, Moore played more than 600 games for the club during a 16-year tenure, winning the [[FA Cup]] in [[1964 FA Cup Final|1963–64]] and the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] in [[1965 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|1964–65]]. During his time at the club, he won the [[FWA Footballer of the Year]] in 1964 and the [[West Ham United|West Ham Player of the Year]] in 1961, 1963, 1968 and 1970. In August 2008, West Ham United officially retired his number 6 shirt, 15 years after his death.<ref name=":0">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/7541638.stm Hammers make Moore shirt gesture]&nbsp;– BBC News, 4 July 2008</ref>

Moore was made captain of England in 1963, at the age of 22; he went on to lift the [[FIFA World Cup Trophy|World Cup trophy]] in 1966. He won a total of 108 [[Cap (sport)|caps]] for his country, which at the time of his international retirement in 1973 was a national record. This record was later broken by [[Peter Shilton]]. Moore's total of 108 caps continued as a record for an outfield player until 28 March 2009, when [[David Beckham]] gained his 109th cap.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=1042546.html?cid=rssfeed&att=|title=Beckham dedicates record to family|date=28 March 2009|publisher=Fifa.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306031021/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid%3D1042546.html?cid=rssfeed&att=|archive-date=6 March 2012|url-status=dead|access-date=31 May 2010}}</ref> Moore is a member of the [[World Team of the 20th Century]], and is regarded as a national team icon. A bronze statue of him stands at the entrance to [[Wembley Stadium]].

A composed [[central defender]], Moore was best known for his reading of the game and ability to anticipate opposition movements, thereby distancing himself from the image of the hard-tackling, high-jumping defender. Receiving the [[BBC Sports Personality of the Year]] in 1966, he was the first footballer to win the award and he remained the only one for a further 24 years. Moore was given an [[Order of the British Empire|OBE]] in the 1967 [[New Year Honours List]]. He was made an inaugural inductee of the [[English Football Hall of Fame]] in 2002 in recognition of his impact on the English game as a player, and in the same year he was named in the BBC's list of the [[100 Greatest Britons]].

==Football career==

===Early days===
[[File:BOBBY MOORE - 43 Waverley Gardens Barking London IG11 0BH.jpg|thumb|upright|Moore's childhood home, 43 Waverley Gardens, Barking, London]]
Moore was born in Upney Hospital in [[Municipal Borough of Barking|Barking]], [[Essex]], on Saturday, 12 April 1941. He was the son of Robert E. Moore and Doris (née Buckle). He attended Westbury Primary School in Barking and then [[Tom Hood School]], [[Leytonstone]], playing football for both.<ref>Moore, Bobby (1966)'' My Soccer Story'' Stanley Paul & Co</ref>

In 1956, Moore joined [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] as a player and, after advancing through the club's youth set-up, he played his first game on 8 September 1958 against [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.westhamstats.info/westham.php?west=2&ham=477&united=Bobby_Moore |title=Welcome to the Wonderful World of West Ham United Statistics Bobby Moore |access-date=18 March 2011}}</ref> In putting on the number six shirt, he replaced his mentor [[Malcolm Allison]], who was suffering from [[tuberculosis]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/02/22/bobby-moore-20-years_n_2741409.html |title=20 Years on from His Death |date=22 February 2013}}</ref>

At international level, Moore played for the [[England national under-18 football team|England national youth team]]. The team reached the [[UEFA European Under-19 Championship|UEFA Youth Tournament]] final in [[1958 UEFA European Under-18 Championship|1958]],<ref name="online1">{{cite web |url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/MatchRsl/MatchRslTmU18pg1.html |title=Match Results: U-18 Results 1947-1959 |website=England Football Online |access-date=8 July 2022}}</ref> and won the British Amateur Youth Championship that year.<ref name="online1"/>

Both he and [[Geoff Hurst]] played in the 1959 [[FA Youth Cup]] final team that lost to [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] (1–2 on aggregate); both also were in the team that won the Southern Junior Floodlit Cup (1–0 v [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]) later that year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theyflysohigh.co.uk/1959-fa-youth-cup-final/4558481154 |title=1959 FA Youth Cup Final / The Class of 1959 |publisher=Fly So High |access-date=17 August 2020 |archive-date=7 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170907213735/http://theyflysohigh.co.uk/1959-fa-youth-cup-final/4558481154 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Moore also played [[cricket]] for the [[Essex County Cricket Club|Essex]] youth team alongside Hurst.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/208547.html |title=Test centuries against all nations, and plain sailing |publisher=www.cricinfo.com |date=2 May 2005 |access-date=31 May 2010}}</ref>

Malcolm Allison never played another first team game for West Ham as Moore became a regular. A composed [[central defender]], Moore was admired for his reading of the game and ability to anticipate opposition movements, thereby distancing himself from the image of the hard-tackling, high-jumping defender. Moore's ability to head the ball or keep up with the pace was average at best, but the way he read the game, marshalled his team and timed his tackles marked him out as world class. Moore was sent off once over the course of his West Ham career, for a foul on [[Dave Wagstaffe]] in the final moment of a match against [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] in November 1961. The referee had simultaneously blown his whistle for the offence and for full-time. As [[Penalty card|red cards]] were not issued at that time, the dismissal did not become apparent until after the match.<ref>{{cite book |title=Seeing Red for the Claret and Blue |first=John |last=Powles |publisher=SoccerData |location=Nottingham |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-905891-54-2 |page=18}}</ref>

===An England star, a European winner===
In 1960, Moore earned a call up to the [[England national under-23 football team|England Under-23]] squad. His form and impact on West Ham as a whole earned him a late call-up to the [[England national football team|full England squad]] by [[Walter Winterbottom]] and [[The Football Association]] selection committee in 1962, when final preparations were being made for the summer's [[FIFA World Cup 1962|World Cup]] finals in [[Chile]]. Moore was uncapped as he flew to [[South America]] with the rest of the squad, but made his debut on 20 May 1962 in England's final pre-tournament friendly&nbsp;– a 4–0 win over [[Peru national football team|Peru]] in [[Lima]]. Also making his debut that day was [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] defender [[Maurice Norman]]. Both proved so impressive that they stayed in the team for the whole of England's participation in the World Cup, which ended in defeat by eventual winners [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in the quarter finals at [[Viña del Mar]].

[[File:Bobby Moore vs Josef Masopust 1963.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Moore (left) and Czech midfielder [[Josef Masopust]] at the [[1963 England v Rest of the World football match|1963 England v Rest of the World match]] at Wembley]]
On 29 May 1963, 22-year-old Moore captained his country for the first time in just his 12th appearance after the retirement of [[Johnny Haynes]] and an injury to his successor, [[Jimmy Armfield]]. He was the youngest man ever to captain England at the highest level. England defeated [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]] 4–2 in the game and Armfield returned to the role of captain afterwards, but new coach [[Alf Ramsey]] gave Moore the job permanently during a series of summer friendlies in 1964, organised because England had failed to reach the latter stages of the [[UEFA European Football Championship|European Championships]].

1964 turned out to be quite an eventful year for Moore. As well as gaining the England captaincy, he lifted the [[FA Cup]] as West Ham defeated [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]] 3–2 in the final at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]], courtesy of a last-minute goal from [[Ronnie Boyce]]. On a personal level, Moore was also successfully treated for [[testicular cancer]] and was named the [[Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/bobby-moore-wife-tina-england | title=Bobby Moore: His incredible life story | date=12 January 2017 }}</ref>

The FA Cup success would become the first of three successful Wembley finals in as many years for Moore. In 1965, he lifted the [[European Cup Winners Cup]] after West Ham defeated [[1860 Munich]] 2–0 in the final with both goals coming from [[Alan Sealey]]. By now he was the first choice captain for England with 30 caps, and around whom Ramsey was building a team to prove correct his prediction that they would win the [[FIFA World Cup 1966|1966 World Cup]].

1966 had a mixed start for Moore. In January, he scored his first England goal in a 1–1 draw with [[Poland national football team|Poland]] at [[Goodison Park]],<ref>{{cite news|last=Hankin|first=Alex|title=Send in the clown: England's colourful history of matches against Poland|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-v-poland-down-the-years-1379070|access-date=24 February 2013|newspaper=Daily Mirror|location=London|date=14 October 2012}}</ref> but two months later captained West Ham to the final of the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]]&nbsp;– in its last season before its transfer to Wembley as a one-off final&nbsp;– which they lost 5–3 on [[aggregate score|aggregate]] to [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]]. For Moore, who had scored in the first leg, and his West Ham teammates [[Geoff Hurst]] and [[Martin Peters]], considerable consolation lay ahead. Moore scored his second and ultimately final England goal in a friendly against [[Norway national football team|Norway]], two weeks before the World Cup would begin.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2013/june/29-june/day-29-june | title=On this day - 29 June &#124; West Ham United F.C. }}</ref>

===1966 World Cup===
{{main|1966 FIFA World Cup}}
[[File:England germany entering pitch.jpg|thumb|right|Bobby Moore (far right) leading the England team out on to the pitch to play the [[1966 FIFA World Cup Final]] against West Germany at Wembley Stadium]]
On the verge of his greatest triumph, details were released to the press in early 1966 that Moore wanted to leave West Ham. Moore had let his contract slip to termination, and only after the intervention of Sir [[Alf Ramsey]] and realisation he was technically ineligible to play, did he re-sign with West Ham to allow him to captain the England team of 1966. Ramsey had summoned West Ham manager [[Ron Greenwood]] to England's hotel and told the two of them to resolve their differences and get a contract signed up. Moore was the leader of the [[History of the England national football team#1966 World Cup champions|World Cup winning side]] and established himself as a world-class player and sporting icon. With all their games at Wembley, England had got through their group with little trouble, they then beat [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] in their quarter final and a [[Eusébio]]-led [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] team in the semi-finals. [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] awaited in the final.<ref name="Hugh Mc"/>


According to Geoff Hurst's [[autobiography]], England full back [[George Cohen]] overheard Ramsey talking to his coaching staff about the possibility of dropping Moore for the final and deploying the more battle-hardened [[Norman Hunter (footballer)|Norman Hunter]] in his place. However, eventually they settled on keeping the captain in the team. Moore had not been playing badly, nor had he given the impression that he had been distracted by his contract dispute prior to the competition. The only possible explanations were that the Germans had some rather fast attacking players, which could expose Moore's own lack of pace, and that Hunter&nbsp;– who was of a similar age to Moore but only had four caps&nbsp;– was the club partner of Moore's co-defender with England, [[Jack Charlton]].

(Location: Barking Road at the junction with Green Street, London E6).]]

In the final, England went 1–0 down through [[Helmut Haller]], but Moore's awareness and quick-thinking helped England to a swift equaliser. He was fouled by [[Wolfgang Overath]] midway inside the German half and, rather than remonstrate or head back into defence, he picked himself up quickly while looking ahead and delivered an instant free kick on to Hurst's head, in a movement practised at West Ham. Hurst scored.<ref name="Hugh Mc"/>

The West Ham connection to England's biggest day became stronger when Peters scored to take England 2–1 up, but the Germans equalised in the final minute of normal time through [[Wolfgang Weber]]&nbsp;– as Moore appealed unsuccessfully for a [[Handball (soccer)|handball]] decision&nbsp;– to take the match into extra time.

Ramsey was convinced the Germans were exhausted, and after Hurst [[1966 FIFA World Cup Final#Controversial third England goal in extra time|scored a controversial and heavily debated goal]], the game looked over. With seconds remaining, and England under the pressure of another German attack, the ball broke to Moore on the edge of his own penalty area. Teammates shouted at Moore to just get rid of the ball, but he calmly picked out the feet of Hurst <span style="white-space:nowrap">40&nbsp;yards&nbsp;(36&nbsp;m)</span> upfield, who scored to bring the score to 4–2.<ref name="Hugh Mc"/>

Of many memorable images from that day, one is of Moore wiping his hands clean of mud and sweat on the velvet tablecloth before shaking the hand of [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]] as she presented him with the [[Jules Rimet trophy]] (the World Cup). ''[[The Guardian]]'' wrote "Moore is the calmest person in the stadium as he leads the England players up to the Royal Box".<ref name="Hugh Mc">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2013/feb/22/vault-remembering-life-football-bobby-moore |title=From the Vault: Remembering the life and football of Bobby Moore |first1=Hugh |last1=McIlvanney |author1-link=Hugh McIlvanney |first2=Frank |last2=Keating |author2-link=Frank Keating (journalist) |first3=David |last3=Lacey |date=22 February 2013 |access-date=4 July 2018 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref>

==As an icon==
[[File:BobbyMooreBust.JPG|thumb|200px|Bust of Moore in the entrance foyer of the stand bearing his name at West Ham's [[Boleyn Ground]]]]
Moore became a national icon as a consequence of England's success, with he and the other two West Ham players taking the World Cup around the grounds which West Ham visited during the following domestic season. He was awarded the coveted [[BBC Sports Personality of the Year]] title at the end of 1966, the first footballer to do so, and remaining the only one for a further 24 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/article.html?Different_eras,_both_great_figures&in_article_id=533469&in_page_id=43|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120804122815/http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/article.html?Different_eras,_both_great_figures&in_article_id=533469&in_page_id=43|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 August 2012|title=Different eras, both great figures|last=Griffiths|first=Danny|date=12 February 2009|work=[[Metro (Associated Metro Limited)|Metro]]|access-date=11 October 2019}}</ref> He was also given an OBE in the New Year Honours List.<ref name="Hugh Mc"/>

Moore's image and popularity allowed him to start a number of business ventures, including a sports shop next to West Ham's ground, [[Boleyn Ground|Upton Park]], and he also appeared with his wife Tina, along with Peters and his wife Kathy, in a television advertisement for the pub industry, urging people to "look in at the local".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.advertisingarchives.co.uk/detail/43768/1/TV-Advert-Grab/Look-in-at-the-local/1960s|title=The Advertising Archives &#124; TV Advert Grab &#124; Look in at the local &#124; 1960s|website=www.advertisingarchives.co.uk|access-date=24 December 2019|archive-date=24 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191224112947/https://www.advertisingarchives.co.uk/detail/43768/1/TV-Advert-Grab/Look-in-at-the-local/1960s|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He continued to play for West Ham and England, earning his 50th cap in a 5–1 win over [[Wales national football team|Wales]] at the end of 1966 in a Home International match which also doubled up as a qualifier for the [[1968 European Football Championship|1968 European Championships]]. England ultimately reached the semi-finals (the tournament was just a four-team event) where they played [[Yugoslavian national football team|Yugoslavia]] in [[Florence]] and lost 1–0. England, as champions, did not have to qualify for the next World Cup, and Moore remained the first name on Ramsey's team sheet, winning his 78th cap prior to the squad's flight to [[South America]] for a short period of altitude-acclimatisation, before going on to the finals in [[Mexico]].<ref name="Hugh Mc"/>

===1970===
{{further|Bogotá Bracelet}}
The year 1970 was a bittersweet, mixed and eventful one for Moore. Retained as captain for the [[FIFA World Cup 1970|1970 World Cup]], there was however heavy disruption to preparations when an attempt was made to implicate Moore in the theft of a [[Bogotá Bracelet|bracelet]] from a jeweller in [[Bogotá]], Colombia, where England were involved in a warm-up game. A young assistant had claimed that Moore had removed the bracelet from the hotel shop without paying for it. While Moore had been in the shop (having entered with [[Bobby Charlton]] to look for a gift for Charlton's wife, Norma), no proof was offered to support the accusations. Moore was arrested and then released. He then travelled with the England team to play another match against [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]] in [[Quito]]. He played, winning his 80th cap, and England were 2–0 victors, but when the team plane stopped back in Colombia on the return to Mexico, Moore was detained and placed under four days of [[house arrest]]. Diplomatic pressure, plus the obvious weakness of the evidence, eventually saw the case dropped entirely, and an exonerated Moore returned to Mexico to rejoin the squad and prepare for the World Cup. He received a guard of honour from his squad when he arrived at the team hotel.<ref name="Hugh Mc"/>

Moore went on to play a leading role in England's progress through their group. On 2 June he captained England to a 1–0 victory against Romania. In the second game against favourites [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], there was a defining moment for Moore when he tackled [[Jairzinho]] with such precision and cleanness that it has been described as the perfect tackle.<ref name=Tackle>{{cite web|title=Bobby MOORE|url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/players/player=174780/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100529155415/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/players/player=174780/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 May 2010|publisher=www.fifa.cm|access-date=16 August 2011}}</ref> It continues to be shown on television around the world.<ref name=Tackle/><ref>{{cite news|title=Bobby Moore's tackle on Jairzinho in 1970 World Cup|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21317369|work=BBC Sport|access-date=24 February 2013}}</ref> Brazil still won the game 1–0, but England progressed through the group.

At the Quarter Final stage, a rematch of the 1966 World Cup against West Germany, England took a 2–0 lead but lost 3–2 in extra time. At the end of the year, Moore was voted runner-up (behind [[Gerd Müller]] of West Germany) for the 1970 [[Ballon d'Or|European Footballer of the Year]] award.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://worldsoccer.about.com/od/players/a/Ballon-D-Wouldor-Winners.htm |title=Ballon d'or winners |publisher=World od soccer |access-date=27 July 2013 |archive-date=28 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928023256/http://worldsoccer.about.com/od/players/a/Ballon-D-Wouldor-Winners.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Final years at the top===
[[File:Bobby Moore and Karl Odermatt.jpg|thumb|200px|Moore as England's captain before a match against Switzerland]]
On 10 August 1970, Moore received an anonymous threat to kidnap his wife and hold her to a £10,000 ransom. This caused him to pull out of pre-season friendlies against [[Bristol City F.C.|Bristol City]] and [[AFC Bournemouth]]. However, his services to West Ham were rewarded with a testimonial match against [[Glasgow Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] at the end of 1970.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.whufc.com/news/testimonial-thriller-night-mighty-celtic-paid-tribute-great-bobby-moore |title=Testimonial Thriller! The night the mighty Celtic paid tribute to the great Bobby Moore &#124; West Ham United F.C.}}</ref>

Although Moore was seen as an icon and a perfect influence on the game, he was not without his faults or controversies. On 7 January 1971, he and three West Ham teammates, [[Jimmy Greaves]], [[Brian Dear]] and [[Clyde Best]], were all fined a week's wages by West Ham manager Greenwood after going out drinking in a nightclub until the early hours of the morning prior to an FA Cup third round tie against [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]]. West Ham lost the tie 4–0. The nightclub in Blackpool was owned by boxer [[Brian London]], a friend of Moore. Blackpool were the bottom side in [[Football League First Division|Division One]] at the time, and were relegated at the end of the season. Coincidentally, on the previous night, Moore was featured on TV as the subject on ''[[This Is Your Life (British TV series)|This Is Your Life]]''. [[Brian Glanville]] stated that it was not uncommon for Moore to drink heavily, but he was often seen training with West Ham the next day, working off the [[Alcohol (drug)|alcohol]] he had consumed the previous night.<ref>{{cite web |last=Glanville |first=Brian |title=The real Bobby Moore |url=http://www.sportstaronnet.com/tss2839/stories/20050924000907700.htm |publisher=www.sportsstronthenet.com |access-date=10 January 2013 |archive-date=28 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828101616/http://www.sportstaronnet.com/tss2839/stories/20050924000907700.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref> On 12 June 1972, he also played for the [[Greece|Greek]] side [[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos]], as their captain, in a friendly match against the [[Brazil]]ian club [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Το βράδυ που ο Μπόμπι Μουρ έγινε αρχηγός του Ολυμπιακού!|trans-title=The night Bobby Moore became the captain of Olympiacos!|url=https://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/to-bradu-pou-o-mpompi-mour-egine-arxigos-tou-olumpiakou/4184271|access-date=12 June 2021|date=12 June 2021|language=el|website=www.sport-fm.gr}}</ref>

Moore surpassed West Ham's appearances record in 1973 when he played for the club for the 509th time. Three days earlier, on 14 February 1973, he won his 100th cap for England in a comprehensive 5–0 win over [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] at [[Hampden Park]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://englandstats.com/matches.php?mid=467|title=englandstats.com &#124; 467 – Scotland 0-5 England, Wednesday, 14th February 1973|website=englandstats.com}}</ref> By this stage, only Peters and [[Alan Ball Jr.|Alan Ball]] from the 1966 squad were also still involved with the England team. Later the same year, Moore was exposed defensively by [[Poland national football team|Poland]] in a qualifier for the [[1974 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Chorzów]], deflecting a free kick past goalkeeper [[Peter Shilton]] to put the home side ahead, and then losing possession to [[Wlodzimierz Lubanski]], who scored the second.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24445822 | title = England v Poland 1973: When Clough's 'clown' stopped England | first = Chris | last = Bevan | publisher = BBC Sport | access-date = 5 February 2019 | date = 14 October 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181024072513/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24445822 | archive-date = 24 October 2018 | url-status = live | df = dmy-all }}</ref>

Moore's form had dipped enough for Ramsey to choose not to select him for the return game at Wembley which England had to win to qualify. Any other result would send Poland through. Being replaced by [[Norman Hunter (footballer)|Norman Hunter]] in defence and Peters as the skipper for that match, Moore is understood to have asked Ramsey if this meant he was no longer required, to which Ramsey replied: "Of course not. I need you as my captain at the World Cup next year." It never happened, as England could only draw 1–1. During the Wembley match, Hunter attempted to make a tackle but instead trod on the ball and lost it, a similar error to Moore's lost possession in Chorzów, which allowed Poland to quickly counterattack and score thanks to Shilton's mistake. Allan Clarke equalised with a penalty, but England could not score again as goalkeeper [[Jan Tomaszewski]] blocked numerous English chances. Moore later told how he sat alongside Ramsey on the bench and kept urging him to make a substitution, but Ramsey was hesitant to do so. When [[Kevin Hector]] finally did come on for [[Martin Chivers]] after 85 minutes Moore could be seen on TV yanking down Hector's tracksuit bottoms while Ramsey sat immobile. Moore, later, said to [[David Miller (editor)|David Miller]] "you could 'feel' the minutes escaping. I said to Alf, we need someone to go through the middle. He just nodded. We couldn't get Kevin out there quick enough. We almost threw him onto the pitch." Hunter was in an inconsolable state as he was led off the pitch by Harold Shepherdson, and by Moore, whose place in the side he had taken. England's failure to qualify for the 1974 FIFA World Cup signalled the end of Ramsey's reign as national team manager when he was sacked six months later.<ref>{{cite news| url = https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-how-it-always-ends-in-tears-1068270.html| title = Football: How it always ends in tears| work = The Independent| access-date = 21 September 2010| date = 2 February 1999| author = Phil Shaw| location = London| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121109032953/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-how-it-always-ends-in-tears-1068270.html| archive-date = 9 November 2012| url-status = live| df = dmy-all}}</ref>

Moore won his 108th and final cap in the next game, a 1–0 friendly defeat to [[Italy national football team|Italy]] on 14 November 1973. He became England's most capped player, beating Bobby Charlton's record by two appearances, and equalled [[Billy Wright (footballer, born 1924)|Billy Wright]]'s record of 90 appearances as captain. [[Peter Shilton]], [[David Beckham]] and [[Steven Gerrard]] have since overtaken the caps record, but the joint captaincy record remains.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/WorldCup2006/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2006/06/BeckhamStandsDown.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20071029052205/http://www.thefa.com/WorldCup2006/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2006/06/BeckhamStandsDown.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 October 2007|title=Beckham stands down|date=2 July 2006 |access-date=9 December 2020}}</ref>

===After West Ham and England===
{{quote box
 |quote = He could hardly run, couldn't turn, couldn't head a ball, and had no left foot. But he was the world's greatest defender. He had a better head on his shoulders than any of the others, and even though he was coming towards the end of his career when he joined Fulham, he was still a great player and a tremendous asset. I remember his first ever pass to me. It was very hard and to my right, so I had to turn sharply to reach it. I thought: 'He only passed the ball 15 yards, so why didn't he pass it to my feet?' But as I turned the player marking me was on my left side – so in fact Bobby had beaten him for me. That was the difference.

Moore played his last game for West Ham in an FA Cup tie against [[Hereford United F.C.|Hereford United]] in January 1974. He was injured in the match. On 14 March the same year, he left West Ham after more than 15 years, taking with him the club record for appearances (since overtaken by [[Billy Bonds]]) and the most international caps for an outfield player.

He joined London rivals [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]], who were in the [[Football League Championship|Second Division]], for £25,000. During Moore's first season there they defeated West Ham in a League Cup tie and then reached the [[FA Cup Final 1975|FA Cup Final]] where they faced West Ham again. This time Fulham lost the game, 2–0, and Moore made his final appearance at Wembley as a professional player.<ref name="Moore Fulham"/>

Moore played his final professional game in England for Fulham on 14 May 1977 against [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]]. He played for two teams in the [[North American Soccer League (1968-1984)|North American Soccer League]]&nbsp;– [[San Antonio Thunder]] in 1976 (24 games, 1 goal) and [[Seattle Sounders (NASL)|Seattle Sounders]] in 1978 (7 games). During 1976, there was also a final appearance on the international field for Team USA in games against Italy, Brazil and an England team captained by [[Gerry Francis]]. This was the [[1976 U.S.A. Bicentennial Cup Tournament|U.S.A. Bicentennial Cup Tournament]], which capitalised on NASL and more importantly England and Italy both failing to qualify for the [[1976 European Football Championship|European Championships that year]].

In April 1978, he signed as a professional player with [[Denmark|Danish]] side [[Herning Fremad]] to promote Danish football's new transition to professional football, playing 9 games for the club before he retired.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.herningfremad.dk/default.asp?id=38&h=37 |title=Historie |publisher=Herningfremad.dk |access-date=31 May 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719124512/http://www.herningfremad.dk/default.asp?id=38&h=37 |archive-date=19 July 2011}}</ref> In May 1978, he signed with Canadian side Edmonton Black Gold for a summer exhibition schedule, although he only joined the team six weeks later ahead of the 23 June match against Benfica.<ref name="Moore to join Black Gold after tonight's test">{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=v_FlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VIMNAAAAIBAJ&pg=1058%2C1575377|title=Moore to join Black Gold after tonight's test|website=Google|first=Jim |last=Matheson|date=14 June 1978|access-date=13 March 2023}}</ref> After Moore's second game with Edmonton against the [[Seattle Sounders (1974–83)|Seattle Sounders]] on 28 June, he was signed by the Sounders on 7 July.<ref name="Sports in brief">{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=3nJkAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Dn4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=1192%2C3449343|title=Sports in brief|website=Google|author1=Calgary Herald|date=8 July 1978|access-date=13 March 2023}}</ref>

The following year, Moore played for [[Highgate, Western Australia|Highgate]]-based club [[Cracovia SC|Cracovia]] for a tour of [[Malaysia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://websites.mygameday.app/assoc_page.cgi?c=0-10258-0-0-0&sID=333773|title=The Superstars|publisher=Football Hall of Fame WA|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref> In 1983, Moore appeared in 8 games for the now-defunct [[Carolina Lightnin']], after injuries left the club without cover.<ref>{{cite web|title=East End to NC end: The final playing days of West Ham legend Bobby Moore|date=11 July 2016|url=http://www.wralsportsfan.com/east-end-to-nc-end-the-final-playing-days-of-west-ham-legend-bobby-moore/15843646/|publisher=WRALSportsFan.com|access-date=12 July 2016}}</ref>

==Managerial career==
Following his retirement from playing professionally in 1978, Moore took up a coaching role at [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]]. In 1980, he took up the managerial role at [[Isthmian League]] side [[Oxford City F.C.|Oxford City]], being assisted by former West Ham teammate [[Harry Redknapp]]. During Moore's time at Oxford City he boosted the club's profile, bringing newfound media attention to the club, as well as signing the likes of [[Phil Beal]] and [[John Fraser (footballer, born 1953)|John Fraser]]. In 1981, Moore and Redknapp left Oxford City, being replaced by [[John Delaney (footballer)|John Delaney]].<ref>{{cite web|title=When Bobby Moore went to manage Oxford City for £14,000|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/11/25/bobby-moore-went-manage-oxford-city-14000/|publisher=The Telegraph|accessdate=30 April 2024|date=27 November 2017}}</ref>

Following Moore's time at Oxford City, the former England captain moved to Hong Kong, to manage [[Eastern Sports Club|Eastern]], being appointed in August 1982, replacing [[Peter Wong (sports commentator)|Peter Wong]]. Moore had previously spent time at Eastern, playing the final 12 minutes in Eastern's 4–0 [[Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield]] victory against [[Hong Kong Rangers FC|Hong Kong Rangers]] in December 1981. In January 1983, Moore recruited [[Terry Cochrane]] and [[Alan Ball Jr.|Alan Ball]] to play for Eastern. Despite's Moore's new signings for the club, he left the club in March 1983.<ref>{{cite web |title=When Bobby Moore came to Eastern SC |url=https://www.the-afc.com/en/club/afc_champions_league/news/when_bobby_moore_came_to_eastern_sc.html |website=[[Asian Football Confederation]] |date=28 February 2017 |access-date=22 June 2022}}</ref>

He became manager of Southend United in 1984. In his first full season, 1984–85, Southend narrowly avoided having to apply for re-election to the Football League amid severe financial difficulties. However, the side was gradually rebuilt and in the 1985–86 season Southend started well and were in the promotion race until the new year before eventually finishing ninth. His successor, [[David Webb (footballer)|David Webb]] built upon those foundations to win promotion the following year. Moore agreed to serve on the board of the club and held this role until his death.<ref name=PeterMason>{{cite book|last=Mason|first=Peter|title=Southend United: the official history of 'The Blues'|year=1994|isbn=1-874427-20-8|page=121}}</ref>

==Illness and death==
[[File:BMTRIBS.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Tributes to Bobby Moore outside the Boleyn Ground on 6 March 1993]]
Moore's first cancer was in 1964, two years before England's first World Cup win — a diagnosis of [[testicular cancer]], treated by [[orchidectomy]] of one; it had not spread.<ref>[https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/secret-life-bobby-moore-englands-9615593 "Secret life of Bobby Moore: England football legend battled cancer THREE times"].

On 14 February 1993, he announced he was suffering from colorectal cancer and [[liver cancer]]; by this time it had spread.

Moore was the first member of the England World Cup–winning side to die. His funeral was held on 2 March 1993 at [[Putney Vale Cemetery|Putney Vale crematorium]] and his ashes kept in the plot of his father, Robert Edward (died 1978) and his mother, Doris Joyce (died 1992) at [[City of London Cemetery and Crematorium]].

The first West Ham home game after his death was on 6 March 1993, against [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]]. The Boleyn Ground was awash with floral tributes, scarves and other football memorabilia from West Ham fans and those of other clubs. Fellow [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966 World Cup]] winners [[Geoff Hurst]] and [[Martin Peters]] placed a floral replica of a West Ham shirt, showing Moore's number, 6, on the back, on the centre spot before the game. West Ham rested the No. 6 for the game, with the regular No. 6, [[Ian Bishop (footballer)|Ian Bishop]], wearing No. 12. The game was won by West Ham 3–1: [[Trevor Morley]], [[Julian Dicks]] and [[Matty Holmes]] scored for West Ham, [[Steve Bull]] in reply.<ref name="Leatherdale">Leatherdale, Clive (1998).
