#2 Defender - Bobby Moore
The late Bobby Moore was the English World Cup winning captain in 1966 and a legend for his club West Ham United and Fulham. Pele termed him as the toughest defender he had faced and that lofty praise underlines Moore’s abilities as a footballer.
Moore was instrumental England’s triumph in 1966 and performed exceptionally in the 1970 World Cup as well. He played for England in 3 World Cups and earned 108 international caps. He also finished runners-up in Ballon d’Or 1970.
He was not very fast but compensated his lack of speed with great anticipation and match-reading. He was a towering figure in English defence and forged a great partnership with Nobby Styles at the heart of England’s defence.
He also had a great club career for West Ham United and played in 667 matches and scored 25 goals for them. He also won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and FA Cup. He hung up his boots in 1977 as the greatest defender ever born in England.
