Bobby Moore is widely considered as one of the greatest footballers to have ever played for England. He is famously known for captaining the team that won the 1966 FIFA World Cup, the only time England has ever won the tournament. He was a defender and played for a number of clubs during his career, like West Ham United, Fulham, and the Seattle Sounders.

Moore was born in Barking, Essex, in April 1941. He grew up in a football-loving family and started playing the game at a young age.

He joined West Ham United as a youth player in 1956 and quickly impressed the coaches with his ability to read the game and his composure on the ball. He made his first-team debut for the club in 1958 and went on to establish himself as a key player in the team.

Moore's performances at West Ham United caught the attention of the England national team selectors, and he made his debut for the Three Lions in 1962. He quickly became a regular in the team and was named the captain in 1963, making him the youngest-ever captain of the national team at the age of 22.

Moore's crowning moment came in 1966 when he captained England to World Cup glory. The tournament was hosted in England, and the nation was buzzing with excitement at the prospect of winning the trophy on home soil. Moore's leadership was crucial to England's success, and he was instrumental in guiding the team to victory.

England's opponents in the final were West Germany, and the game was a closely contested affair. England took the lead through a Geoff Hurst goal, but West Germany equalised in the second half.
