Bobby Moore – All English hero

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Queen Elizabeth met football royalty
Hair and face scrub amidst the melee
Then lifting the Jules Rimet trophy
Bobby Moore – He swapped shirts with Pele

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Lionheart blocked Overath and Beckenbauer
Geoff Hurst’s boots started to thrill
Wingless wonders stormed Uwe Seeler
At Wembley are words that ring true still:

“Immortal hero of 1966”
Bobby Moore, “Gentleman of all time.”
