Bobby Moore

[Steven Ageroad]

Tonight, BBC2 at 6.25. Film about Bobby Moore, I'm sure Fulham will get a mention about his time with us. We could well do with in our back 4 now!

A Legend in his own Life time.

Still shocks me that he was so young when he died.  He was part of the growing up with the England team and then when he played for us he was such an legend by then. Always around  and yet like so many heroes I had, died remarkably early.

Very few people deserve to be called legends but he was one of those few. But how disgracefully was he treated by the establishment!

Extremely emotional...blessed like many Fulham fans to have witnessed him wear our club colours.

The way he was treated by West Ham and England was scandalous. When we won that 5th round FA Cup tie at Goodison in 1975 he was absolutely magnificent. One of the best defenders ever. Very emotional.

Yes, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

How lucky we were to be blessed with Moore and Mullerry at the ends of their carreers.

Doubt if we will ever see the likes of Moore again.

I had the pleasure of Bobby Moore marking me when I played for Hampton (before they were hampton & Richmond
)

Can you elaborate? I don't know the background on this.

Imagine if we had them playing for us today. I was lucky enough to see them leading us to Wembley, and to have seen Mullery  play for us in his earlier prime, as well as Moore for West Ham.

It's criminal that they both fell on hard times, and the way Moore was treated, when they should have been honoured.

As the captain of our only ever WC winning side it was incredible that he was never offered a role by the FA.  He was never awarded a knighthood by the honours committee (which suggests he was not put forward by either the FA or WHU) and yet less prominent sports personalities have regularly been awarded that honour. West Ham never offered him a role not even as a club ambassador. These are the things I was referring to.

How times have changed with that 'Honours List'. The most fatuous for me is Sir Knickerless Clegg.
