Brian Moore

Brian Moore, who is widely regarded as the "Father of English Football Commentary," was perhaps the first person to bring the profession to the attention of the general public. The legend is known as "The Voice of Football" is recognized as one of England's best football pundits of all time.

Moore, who was born in Kent in 1932, has been in nine FIFA World Cups and over twenty Cup championship finals over his long career. He also had the distinction of being in charge of the microphone when England defeated West Germany in the 1966 FIFA World Cup final at Wembley Stadium, led by Bobby Moore.

Moore will be remembered for being the first professional commentator to bring the game into English households with exquisite language and flawless description, even though he died in 2001 at the age of 69. During that time, he did a lot of work for the BBC and ITV Sport. Moore's appearances on television and radio were well-received.
