My Take
Bobby Moore is, to me, the embodiment of footballing dignity. Captaining England to the 1966 World Cup would secure any player's legacy, but it's Pelé calling him the greatest defender he ever faced that tells you how respected his intelligence was. He didn't defend through brute force; he read the game and intercepted danger before it formed. I find his early death at 51 genuinely sad, but the image of him wiping his muddy hands before lifting the trophy stays with me. That instinctive grace, more than any tackle, is what I admire most about him.
