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!
