David Gold has thrown his weight behind moves to make Bobby Moore’ Sir Bobby Moore.’
With MPs from across all parties trying to make it happen on the 50th anniversary of England’s wonderful World Cup victory, the co chairman has denied that this should be an impossibility.
Currently the law doesn’t allow posthumous awards but MPs are planning moves aimed at making it happen to honour the nation’s greatest captain in a year when the achievement will be immortalised in a new film.

Just get it done
