Description
Bobby Moore was England’s greatest ever captain and the finest, most graceful defender football has known. The two volume set looks at the life and times of Bobby Moore, up until he won his first full-England cap in 1960. This volume continues the story. ‘Young Bobby II’ continues the story, after Moore broke into the West Ham first team on September 8,1958, and the celebration of the legend that was and remains Bobby Moore as he moved towards the peak of his shining career. This second volume offers a vista on the next stage, the embedding of his personality and the elaboration of his talents and extension of his skills. The work concentrates on his application, taking in the 1962 World Cup in Chile and his first dozen caps, but also the characters that influenced and interacted with him such as Alf Ramsey and Ron Greenwood. So, this is a portrait of the young man, more than the myth of a footballing saint; the adolescent, his situation and character, who made the myth possible. Here is the complex and intriguing process of growth and development.
