The game went into extra time, and it was during this period that Moore's leadership skills came to the fore. He kept the team focused and motivated, and it was his timely interceptions and tackles that prevented West Germany from scoring.
The game looked like it was heading towards a penalty shootout when England won a corner in the dying moments of extra time. Moore stepped up to take the corner, and his delivery found the head of Geoff Hurst, who scored his third goal of the game to secure a 4-2 victory for England.
Moore's performance in the final was nothing short of outstanding, and he was named the man of the match. He lifted the World Cup trophy to rapturous applause from the Wembley crowd, and his name was etched in footballing history forever.
Moore continued to play for England after the World Cup, and he went on to make a total of 108 appearances for the national team, a record that stood for many years. He also played for a number of clubs during his career, including Fulham and the Seattle Sounders.
Moore retired from playing in 1978 and went on to work as a coach and pundit. He was also involved in charity work and was a well-respected figure in the footballing community. Sadly, he passed away in 1993 at the age of 51 from bowel cancer.
Bobby Moore's career is a testament to his talent, leadership, and dedication to the game of football. He will forever be remembered as a true legend of the sport and a hero to the English people. His performance in the 1966 World Cup final will go down in history as one of the greatest individual performances in footballing history.
