Sad news from a 4th world Principality https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46074539

Great program on the telly last night about the life of Bobby Moore.

10/10

Sir Alf Ramsey: 'If people say England would not have won the World Cup without me as manager, I can say it would have been impossible without Bobby Moore as captain. He was the heartbeat of the team in 1966. He was my right-hand man, my lieutenant on the field, a cool calculated footballer I could trust with my life.'

Brian Clough: 'He did our game proud. He brought it grace and elegance. I wish I could have woenis Law: 'He was an immaculate defender who did not need to foul to win the ball. I don't think he kicked a player intentionally in his life. He was a good tackler but rarely needed to because he picked up the ball before you could get to it.'

Sir Alex Ferguson: ‘Moore was the finest defender I have ever seen’

George Best: ‘I remember I once scored a hattrick against West Ham and I half sold him a dummy, that was the only time I ever got anything out of him, I should have hated him instead of loving him’

Franz Beckenbauer: ‘Bobby Moore was the greatest defender in the history of the game, Bobby was my football idol. I looked up to him. I was so proud to have played against him.'’

Pele: ‘Bobby Moore — he defended like a lord. Let me tell you about this man. When I played, I would face up to a defender, I would beat him with my eyes, send him the wrong way; I would look one way and then go the other. Defenders would just kick me in frustration. They would foul me because they couldn't stop me, or because I would confuse them with my movement. I would move my eyes, my legs or my body, but not always the ball. They would follow my move, but not Bobby, not ever. He would watch the ball, he would ignore my eyes and my movement and then, when he was ready and his balance was right, he would take the ball, always hard, always fair. He was a gentleman and an incredible footballer.

Jock Stein : ‘There should be a law against him, he knows what’s going to happen 5 minutes before anyone else on the pitch.’

Sir Bobby Charlton: ‘Bobby Moore is England's icon, and rightly so, He could both read what was going to happen before it actually did.
'It was beautiful to look at him when he played. Nobody tackled him. He just oozed class. 'He was just a brilliant defender, probably cultured is the right word. If he had to speed up a little bit he could easily do it.
If you were lucky enough to play with him, or against him, he was a fantastic player.

Stan of Money AM: I agree in general of the sentiments expressed above but Little Johnny Price (only about 5ft 4 inches tall) who was making his debut for Burnley in their midweek game at Upton Park in the early 60s ran Bobby Moore ragged all night, no one had seen anything like it.

Inscription on his statue at Wembley Stadium ‘Immaculate footballer. Imperial defender. Immortal hero of 1966. First Englishman to raise the World Cup aloft. Favourite son of London's East End. Finest legend of West Ham United. National Treasure. Master of Wembley. Lord of the game. Captain extraordinary. Gentleman of all time’

Can't argue with those thoughts from some football giants.

Stan , if she's prepared to use the same changing facilities and showers as the boys then let her play.

Oh Dil your so 18th century.. and what about post 6606 -):

Stan , I can only remember him when he was on a down hill slope at the end of his career in the early seventies and to be honest he was being picked for England on reputation not merit and was a half decent player for Fulham in the old second division but nothing to get excited about.

Only game I can remember him being any good in was the Brazil game at the 70 WC but if I remember right it was Mullery not Moore who had the job of marking Pele.

Can't imagine the boys being too happy if she saw them in the ice bath. Especially wee Willy.

I watched Moore from 68 onwards when my Dad used to take me as a kid.

He was good in an bang average team.

By 74 he was finished at the top level.

Happy Days :)

10 years since this glorious night but this poor bloke didn’t go 😀

Your lot got money to burn or what Dil? https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cardiff-city-happy-contribute-towards-15415378

Congratulations to Rooney on a fabulous career..!...and how about a lucky England with Croatia beating Spain....can win the group now but best not to underestimate the world cup finalists....I reckon they are beatable if we play with flair and good defending !...

Was hoping he'd score to round it off on a perfect note.


And talking of scoring , hope that English clown Vokes doesn't set foot on the pitch in Cardiff tonight. We need to win.

Super Sam not selected and not even brought on from the bench...result Wales lose at home 1-2 to the Danes...sick note out.

Lol , we played fine without Vokes and have no need to qualify for the Euro's via the back door.

England game could be good if he decides to pick Barkky instead of one of your more boring players. Good thing is he looks to have given up on Ashley Young .... six months too late.

Good luck , Modric is out so no excuses for not winning this one.

Yabaadabaadoo.....well done guys !.....what a turnaround !.....superb !....
