    Hard to believe it was that long ago. Just so glad I got the opportunity to watch him play live.

    One of my regular quirks when I go to watch England is to ask his statue to bring us luck. Bit of a sentimentalist really. Always bid him farewell after the game and promise to see him again. How long it’s been November 2019 my last visit can’t wait to be back at Wembley.

    Footballing legend. Saw him play for Fulham vs Blackpool mid 70's. (Some of my family lived over in Blackpool & we were visiting for the weekend).

    First time I saw him play was at Hampden after the 1970 World Cup.
    Over 100k Scots singing to the tune of Oh my darling Clementine.
    Where’s your bracelet
    Where’s your bracelet
    Where’s your bracelet Bobby Moore.
    It’s in your handbag
    It’s in your handbag
    It’s in your handbag Bobby Moore.

    For any younger lads reading this. In 1970 Bobby was arrested for nicking a bracelet in Bogata Columbia just prior to the W C being played in Mexico.
