MooreandpeleTODAY is FOOTBALL SHIRT FRIDAY In aid of the Bobby Moore Fund

The inspiration behind Football Shirt Friday comes from the famous shot of Bobby Moore swapping shirts with Pele at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.

A close friend of Bobby’s , Pele says, “The picture of Bobby and I swapping shirts at the 1970 World Cup brings the memories flooding back.

It remains iconic to this day and I think it’s a great inspiration for the Bobby Moore Fund’s Football Shirt Friday!
