Bobby Moore at Brighton

[Gwylan]

According to a mate of mine, today's Daily Express had a story that Cloughie tried to sign Bobby Moore for Brighton.

As the Express is not a paper I'd read, I missed this particular gem. Judging by the fact that no-one has posted this, I guess no-one else reads the Express either.

Anyone know the truth about this story? Perhaps he signed Andy Rollings after the Moore deal fell through. Moore? Rollings? Must have been a tough call.

Graham Cross was a Moore-type defender, and in his prime.

Economical, excellent timing, outstanding placement and concentration. He was brilliant !!

.....and right on his heels came the signing of a young defensive pair - Williams and Lawrenson.

This was the best of all possible worlds

Rollings was a good player did well for the club and makes a decent cup of tea at preston park

no i read the Daily Mail ever since Edgar converted me from the Daily Sport far more interesting read still THe Express is not a bad sunstitute and Bobby Moore was an excellent defender world class without any question of doubt. Whereas Cullip is world sh1te at defending. The two are like chalk and cheese.

Something's a more interesting read than The Daily Spurt?? Shurely shome mishtake?

I think its true but then Cloughie was one for flying kites when talking to journos.

and as Moore went to Fulham shorty afterwards it can't have been too fanciful.......
