    Did Bobby Moore ever play at Millmoor?

    One for the old uns...Just been watching a documentary about him on telly and it got me thinking had I ever seen him against the millers. I must admit I cant remember seeing him at millmoor but wondered if he played against us as a young lad before i started watching the millers.

    I dont remember seeing him as a player but he definitely visited as manager of Southend. I was walking past the dugout when he was taking his place pitch side, I said hello and he just walked straight past without a reply! But I still love him

    Did he play in Trevor Womble’s testimonial in ‘78?
    It was the then Millers 1st team against an all stars team which had a few of the ‘66 world cup team in it, he could’ve been one of them, I was only 14 and cant remember but some old timers might know.

    Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst scored the goals in West Ham's 2-1 victory in the league Cup at \Millmoor in 1965

    Although I was already interested in the Millers it was a year later that I made it to my first home game (Jan 66 a 3-0 win v Crystal Palace)

    My elder brother went to the West Ham game and I recall we were a very good side at the time.

    On the subject of famous players I did have the privilege of seeing Pele play. It was an afternoon game at Hillsboro in 1972. Can’t remember whether it was a Tuesday or a Wednesday but it had to be played in the day because of the Power Cuts.

    I don’t remember much about the game apart from Santos winning 2-0 in front of over 37,000 and I bunked it off school to go with my Dad standing on the open kop and could hardly see anything.
