Bobby Moore honoured with blue English Heritage plaque unveiled by Harry Redknapp at childhood home
Memorial will be placed at former West Ham star's house in East Barking where he first started playing football
BOBBY MOORE has been honoured by English Heritage with a blue plaque unveiled at his childhood home in East Barking.
England's 1966 World Cup winning captain first got into football at the house and still lived there when he picked his up first silverware - the 1951 Crisp Shield when he was aged just 16.
After a rapid rise through the ranks at West Ham, he became England captain in 1963, just a year after his call up to the 1962 World Cup.
And he cemented his place in footballing folklore when he skippered the Three Lions to their only major trophy in 1966 on home soil.
He went on to make 108 appearance for his country but was cruelly taken by cancer at just 51 in 1993.
The English Heritage blue plaque are synonymous with London history and 'link the people of the past with the buildings of the present'.
Moore is the first footballer to ever receive one.
There are over 900 scattered around the capital and Moore's addition was unveiled by former West Ham player and boss Harry Redknapp and Karren Brady in a small ceremony.
Moore's life and relationship is the subject of a new drama series Tina & Bobby, which is filming now and stars Lorne MacFadyen and Michelle Keegan.
