33rd anniversary of his passing.
Where were you when you heard the news? I was on my way to a meeting at work, someone paged me. Absolutely gutted, fucked the meeting off, went to the pub.
And now i'm sad for the passing of time as well.
I dont suppose anyone under the age of 50 remembers him now, how long should the club keep on commemorating him? or is it time to let him go and rest in peace.

Even my mother was bawling her eyes out, because he got her a drink in tipples once. She said there was just something about him, an aura.
Used to see him a lot at west ham when he was working for talksport, always meant to ask him sign a programme or something, it was always "ill ask him next time" then there wasnt a next time. . .
capital gold, talksport was years away
Yes mate...capital gold .
They worked together on England games too and he was with him on his last visit to wembley.
Imagine that now...?
Measure of the man that nobody knew about his illness until he'd left us
Bobby Moore on some regional radio station to earn a few bob...?.
In some of the commentaries he done on Gold you could tell by his voice that something was amiss and he was struggling.
Him and Jonathan Pearce were a good combination and Pearce clearly had.s great admiration and fondness for him as did we all.
It also always struck me as sad that he was doing those commentaries for local radio to earn a crust when he was struggling and that he should of been looked after so much better after all he achieved.
I was working when I heard of his death but bunked off the following day to meet up with some fellow West ham mates and go to Upton park to pay my respects and have a few drinks in his honour

The reason I support West Ham.
People ask me why I support West Ham.
I just say "Bobby Moore"
Think it was the World Cup of 1970 that I fell in love with Bobby,just something about him in those games.
Pure class, even at 6 yrs old I knew he was sheer class.
Sad day then,sad day now.
RIP Bobby

in the podium pub, near moorgate. first time I shed a tear over the death of a non family member
and I never ever got to see him play, but the power of radio back in those days, his years on capital gold gave us access to an all time legend
