This geezer was a fuckin great player.. one of the best defenders I've had the priviledge of. Witnessing.
All struck me how fair he was.. never had a moan up or fucked about..
As a man he has struggled.. his life story is humbling...

I was born in 1972 so never actually saw Moore play but it's on that level. Ronald Koeman was another as was Miguel Angel Nadal. Rio wasn't too far away but he took his natural talent for granted yet still managed to get away with it for most of the time.

It amazing as well because he couldn't train for his last few years because of fucked knees.

Imagine how good he would have been if he was just a heavy drinker - which would have been a huge improvement on what he actually put away.

However, Webb has always maintained when the pension comes in he'll be set
