John Simkin Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 At the end of the 1965-66 season Don Revie, the manager of Leeds United, attempted to buy Bobby Moore, who wanted to leave the club. Moore, whose contract with West Ham came to an end on 30th June, 1966. Moore, who refused to sign a new contract, went to see Greenwood about the move: "There was no way we could negotiate. West Ham said they would not let me go in any circumstances. Ron and I had it out for hours. Finally we agreed to let it ride until after the World Cup." The 1966 FIFA World Cup was held in Britain. Moore joined the England team for pre-tournament training at the beginning of July. However, under Football Association rules, a non-contracted player could not play for England. When Alf Ramsay heard about this, he ordered Moore back to Upton Park to sign a new contract with West Ham. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WHmooreB2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
