MOORE'S HOME HONOURED

England's 1966 World Cup winning captain, the late Bobby Moore, was honoured with a blue plaque installed where he lived on Tuesday. The ceremony for the unveiling of the plaque on Moore's childhood home in east London was attended by family, friends and footballing figures. It comes just days before the 50th anniversary of English football's greatest moment, the 4-2 defeat of West Germany, with Moore the only English captain to lift a major trophy. "I'm sure he (Moore) would be deeply touched and it's just a very, very special day and it's wonderful to know that it is going to be here forever," his daughter Roberta told the Press Association. Moore, who died of cancer in 1993 aged just 51, showed such leadership skills that he became captain aged just 22.
