A moving tribute to a man the game too soon forgot
Roger Domeneghetti recommends a new documentary on Bobby Moore
England’s head coach wants to lead the rebuild after heavy defeats in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide, but concedes his fate lies elsewhere
IN AN era when an Olympic gold medal all but guarantees ennoblement and young footballers are drowned in cash before they’ve even kicked a ball in anger, Bo66y is a poignant reminder of a different age.
It’s an age when the man who lifted the World Cup for England and led West Ham to domestic and European glory could be all but forgotten by both after his career ended. Forgotten, that is, until it was too late.
This beautifully directed documentary is a fitting tribute to Bobby Moore, the man who lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley 50 years ago.
