I feel a lot of people, particularly at smaller clubs, might have been a little bit in awe of him,' says Frank Lampard, who was Moore's room-mate at West Ham. 'I think that some people might have been a bit threatened by him because of what he was, and who he was and how he was.' In 1972, Moore converted from Pentecostalism to Islam. He had started to study Islam in college. [7] A year later, Bobby Moore legally changed his name to Ahmad Rashād, which means "admirable one led to truth" in Arabic.

Being raised as an only child, by loving parents who "gave me everything they could", never threatened to be a softening experience for him, perhaps because the raising was done in Barking, a borough that lies a few miles beyond London's East End and is inevitably pollinated by it. From the start, strength of will was crucial to his success in football. As a schoolboy he was outstanding but not a prodigy. Rising through district school teams at the primary and secondary stages (he passed the 11-plus and attended Tom Hood Technical School, Leyton, until he was 16), he played for London but never internationally at that level.

Ahmad Rashad (born Robert Earl Moore; November 19, 1949) is an American sportscaster and former professional football wide receiver. He was the fourth overall selection of the 1972 NFL Draft, taken by the St. Louis Cardinals. He was known as Bobby Moore before changing his name in 1973. Jonathan Pearce, Moore's colleague at Capital Radio in the final years of his life, agrees that 'there were too many rumours about Bobby for him ever to be given the sort of role that he should have had'. Moore would never talk about his business dealings, says Pearce, 'and the only time I brought it up in conversation he was stand-offish - as if to say "leave alone ".' But he doesn't believe Moore did anything wrong. According to Stephanie, he never seemed bothered by the rumours but they 'certainly irritated' her. Pearce thinks that being West Ham captain and an East Londoner led inevitably to innuendo. 'I don't think he was ever involved with the wrong sort of people. But all that lot knew the Sixties London people. That came with the patch. That came with playing for West Ham - it was that sort of territory. They were bound to meet the wrong people. All the players did. Bobby met the Krays. I don't know about the Richardsons but he also knew all the stars - Frankie Vaughan and so on.'

Whatever the reasons, Moore gained a reputation as a poor businessman, even though his partnership with John Mitchell - through their sports marketing company, Mitchell-Moore Associates - proved highly successful. Among other dealings it went on to arrange Mastercard's sponsorship of the World Cup. Greenwood was always impressed by Moore's ability to raise his play for important occasions. "The bigger the game the better the performance – he would grow to meet the challenge. That is what being a top international player is all about." Alan Ball, a fervent admirer of Moore and his close companion on England trips, never ceased to wonder at his captain's ability to switch from the West Ham scene – "a nice, family club just happy to be in the First Division" – to the world stage. He used to say - relatively speaking - that football had given him a very, very good living. A sort of lifestyle he would never have attained if he had never been a footballer.' Pearce agrees that his colleague and friend was not, at least in his later years, notably disappointed with his lot, but strongly believes that the football authorities were foolish to overlook him. 'This huge effect Bobby had on people - whether it was for 30 seconds or 30 years - to have lost that in life is tragic enough, but for the game never to have employed that and to have never benefi ted from that is a scandal. After the nonsense had been sorted out Moore caught up with the rest of the squad in Guadalajara via Mexico City airport, where chaos reigned as the England captain came through immigration. Mexican officials were simply swept aside by the media rush, but in the midst of it all Moore remained completely unruffled, strolling through the throng with a slight smile playing around his lips, as if the only people pursuing him were autograph hunters. After leaving Southend in May 1986 he was, for a time, sports editor of the new Sunday Sport. Concern about his health first arose two years ago but after surgery to remove a growth in April 1991 he appeared to have conquered the problem.

Moore got a chance in the end, but it wasn't a good one and he had to wait a long time. 'In those days,' recalls John Mitchell, with whom he played at Fulham and later entered a business partnership, 'there just weren't the same opportunities or the same structure that would give former players a chance ... there would only be one or two positions at each club, and that was it.'

Where was Bobby Moore from?

A week later, he was gone – dead at 51, taken by the insidious scourge of bowel cancer, and the outpouring of national grief was immense. Apart from being one of sport's greatest 20th-century icons, Moore was a gentleman and the king of good sportsmanship. Tina and Bobby, a television drama series about Tina and Bobby Moore's relationship, was broadcast on ITV in January 2017, and repeated in August 2020 and June 2021. The part of Bobby Moore is played by Lorne MacFadyen. [87] Personal life [ edit ] Well, I only ever cried over two people, Billy Bremner and Bob... [long pause] He was a lovely man.
