Bobby Moore was even better than you think

[@curlyfm]

As a West Ham fan I was always scared that we had a massive bias towards Bobby. After watching this multiple times and other videos, I had nothing to be worried about. He looked lightyears ahead of every situation. Nothing dirty, just impeccable timing and understanding. The perfect defender - truly.

[@HarmsFootball]

Absolutely. His reading of the game was impeccable - probably on par with Baresi. And on the basis of both 1966 and 1970 World Cups I'd say that he is the single most impressive centre back in history of that competition (only Beckenbauer would've probably been ahead of him if he hadn't played in midfield in 2 out of 3 of his World Cups).

[@a.m.armstrong8354]

Nothing to worry about, curlyfm.

Watched a brilliant documentary on Bobby Moore,he was treated so shabbily by the fa,look at beckenbauer,pele etc,also by west ham when terence brown was chairman. Met him at West ham shop opposite ground,pure class

[@jamesgordon2805]

Bobby Moore a wonderful footballer.

[@ashamed-n5n]

I only saw Bobby Moore twice in the flesh; very much towards the end of his career with Fulham, both matches against my team Palace. On 12 April 1974, he played in midfield and his lack of pace was exposed as Palace won 3-1 at Craven Cottage. Four days later, the teams met again (Easter fixtures!) at Selhurst Park and Moore was back in defence and marshalled his team brilliantly so that Fulham won 2-0 and pretty well condemned Palace to relegation to the then Division 3. I remember that Palace’s manager, Malcolm Allison (who was of course Moore’s mentor at West Ham) touchingly singled out his former protege for special praise after the second match.

[@bernardjay379]

His reading of the game was sensational, despite his lack of pace. His greatness is based on he saw moves before they developed and he seldom gave the ball away.

[@leeturton9254]

A flawless footballer... passing vision composure and the quality that separates the truly greats the ability to perform under the highest pressure... he's the first name on my all time England 11 followed by banks followed by Gascoigne

[@Heavymetaltherapy1]

Thanks for putting this together this is class. I was too young to have ever seen Bobby play but being a West Ham fan you're always told by the older generation just how good he was, I actually didnt realise just how good he was, he seemed to have everything except pace, but he didnt need that anyway because his anticipation and positional sense was off the charts. He was a ball playing centre half before ball playing centre halfs were evem a thing! What a man. R.I.P Mooro ⚒️

[@nicomarin6887]

biggest compliment i can give you is that i very rarely watch that long videos in one sitting and i did it here. Great work as per usual!

[@tinamartini]

What a player. Immaculate. As a Fulham supporter I saw a fair amount of him at the end of his career and he still had it. If only we could have completed the fairy tail and won that FA cup in 1975! But way before those days he was an absolute idol of mine.

[@tinamartini]

[@CIMAmotor]

Even Hammers' fans wouldn't have minded too much if Fulham had won the cup that year.

[@footballsgreatest2645]

Moore was simply immaculate wasn't he? So calm and composed, but solid as they came. The display against Brazil in the 70 WC, doesn't half get the credit it deserves imo, just an exhibition in defensive prowess. His work from deep in the victorious 66 WC campaign was pivotal too, with England lacking a proper deeper creative influence. Stiles was a pure holding midfielder, with Peters and Ball playing shuttling roles, although Sir Bobby Charlton played a creative roaming role. Moore was more or less the one pulling the strings from deep with Charlton running the show overall.

[@neilreading3552]

If the great Bobby Charlton envies you, you gotta be good. Bobby , we'll never forget you mate.

[@CIMAmotor]

Doing a job on Pele, Eusabio and Muller. Different class.

[@andyg6967]

I was too young to see him play but as a massive West Ham his legacy runs through the club like a stick of rock and watching this it’s easy to see why,I was lucky enough to bump into him in London in the late eighties,what a lovely bloke and genuine icon of world football.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚒

[@richarddeane8433]

I'm an Evertonian & before Alan Ball signed for us, Bobby Moore was my football idol. I was 10 when England won the World Cup & I could see Moore was a perfect defender even then, but when you watch videos of him now ( particularly the '70 World Cup ) , I can truly say I was too young to appreciate just how really good he was . Best English born defender ever probably .

[@theofarmmanager267]

I don’t know how many terms I saw Bobby Moore play at West Ham. Seasons 64 to 69. I don’t think I - or my mates - ever truly appreciated just how good Moore was. It is only watching clips like this that you understand his ability to read the game and exquisite timing. All in the day when two-footed tackles were the norm. Can’t imagine how the Lycra-clad idiots of today would last even 10 minutes against Hunter, Harris, Giles, Bremner et al. And all of this from someone with little pace. I read that there was a drinking culture at the club and I wish I knew how it affected the players and their performances.

[@TheIkaraCult]

Im an Englishman, so i am massively biased, but every time you see Bobby Moore get the ball, he does something with it. He plays the ball, not the attacker. I love the statue at Wembley because it sums Bobby Moore up perfectly.

[@jeffholmes8092]

Bobby would be the captain of an England all time great team in my opinion. So cool and calm under pressure.

[@yeoblim9916]

Thank you so much for your efforts. This makes it easy to appreciate Moore's greatness. Your channel is my favorite.. Thanks!

[@bobsanoldun]

Anticipation, timing, and strength he had it all and one of our finest. ⚽️

[@philippankhurst6680]

Bobby Moore has been my lifelong hero. I was lucky to have been there to see his major triumphs in 64, 65 and 1966. I was also there to see the Irons beaten 2-8 at home by Blackburn Rovers, which was not his finest hour. He was the greatest player I ever saw by a mile...

[@RogiRemillard1977]

[@robertlangley1664]

It’s no coincidence that we haven’t won the World Cup since 66 when Sir Bobby was captain and no I am not a West Ham Fan . But i believe he was great footballer and a great man

[@darrendiggins9853]

Class old school defending. No desperate last ditch tackle. Always perfectly positioned. Years ahead of his time, still to this day possibly greatest centre back the game has seen

[@Napoli-DM10]

Absolutely perfect timing and reading of the attack. What a player and person! Thank you for this excellent video - I really enjoyed watching it.

Bobby Moore is quite simply the best English player of all time.

[@PeakDennisReynolds]

Moore was incredible but I don't think you understand how amazing Charlton was if you think Moore was the better player and I'm not just saying that because one was a defender and one was a midfielder.

[@justinchetham-strode5234]

@@PeakDennisReynolds Of course I appreciate Charlton's greatness, but from'64 until '71 Bobby Moore was practically FAULTLESS. Re-watch the 1970 match against Brazil to see the man absolutely at his peak. In '66 England had 4 world class players: Banks, Moore, Charlton and Greaves, but Bobby Moore stands out as the best of the lot.

[@philippankhurst6680]

@@PeakDennisReynolds Listen to what Charlton says about Moore - he recognised that Bobby had qualities that he could only dream of. He also saw that their jobs were different and we saw that with the pair of them in the same team we could beat anyone - and we did.

@@curlyfm A nova geração de torcedores e jornalistas nem sabe quem foi Bobby Moore, infelizmente! Para eles o futebol começou em 2014 com a nossa derrota para a Alemanha,então tudo o que se fez até então não serve mais. Sergio Ramos é considerado como o maior zagueiro da história,e CR7 como o maior jogador da história por essa geração. É muito triste! Estão matando a nossa própria história,esses dias teve uma matéria de um jornal dizendo: Neymar é o maior jogador brasileiro depois de Pelé! Um absurdo. Não valorizam nossos craques,e a insistência em esquemas táticos está anulando a nossa genialidade.
