Sir Bobby Moore OBE made an exceptional contribution to English football - his leadership and skill inspired not only the 1966 squad, but also subsequent generations of aspiring footballers at clubs across the country.

The FA is leading commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the 1966 World Cup win, which the Government supports. The FA will be making a formal announcement in due course.
