Was Bobby Moore the greatest player ever to play for West Ham?Yes, that is undoubtable
No, not quite the greatest |
The former centre-back made his debut for the first team in 1958 and played for the London club for 16 more years until 1974 when he departed for Fulham (as per Transfermarkt).
During his time with the Irons, Moore featured in 646 league and cup appearances, during which he bagged 27 goals (per West Ham), which has left fans infatuated with the World Cup-winning captain.
Great picture

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses from many West Ham supporters, it is clear that they believe that legends of the club do not come bigger than the former centre-back.
One look through his record for the Hammers for those who are unaware of Moore’s talents and it will become immediately clear as to why so many fans hold him in such high regard.
