When Bobby retired from football in 1973, he had set a world record for the most caps.

Luckily, Sir Alf Ramsey, the England Manager, persuaded Bobby to resign so he could captain the team in the World Cup. The final was held on 30th July 1966 at Wembley Stadium in London. England played against West Germany. It was a tense game. However, in the final minutes of play, Bobby Moore passed to Geoff Hurst who scored to create the final score of 4-2.
