Bobby Moore is one of the most iconic English footballers ever. His greatness has been appeared with a statue outside Wembley stadium. Moore was admired for his reading of the game and ability to anticipate opposition movement, played as center-back mostly by his genius positional play, as he had uncanny intuitive sense for where the ball was headed. His timing in the tackle was unmatched, and he was rarely off of his feet while winning the ball back for his team. Moore is known as a true leader and gentleman with his fair play. In 1966, He was voted as the fourth best of Ballon D’or, and he was voted seventh place the best player in history of World Cup by France Football. Although his ability was not the best ever, His greatness as captain leading England to be champion of world cup could lead him to be ranked among the best.
