Bobby Moore

Robert Frederick Chelsea "Bobby" Moore (12 April 1941 – 24 February 1993) was an English former footballer. He was best known for playing for West Ham United and England national team. He was the captain of England when they won the World Cup in 1966. He played 108 games for England between 1962 and 1973. When he retired, this was a national record. Only Peter Shilton and David Beckham have since played more games for England. He is regarded as one of the greatest defenders of all time.[5] He died of colorectal cancer in Wandsworth, London.
