REQUEST FOR HELP
My name is Ryan Forrester and I am a first year student currently studying Sports Journalism at the University of Brighton. For one of my modules we have been asked to write a piece on a sporting event from 1958, due to it being its 50th anniversary this year.
I have decided to write a piece on Booby Moore’s debut for West Ham against Manchester United in September 1958. I want to try and focus upon the match itself rather than producing a profile of Bobby Moore, and wondered if you may have any ideas or information that may be able to assist me in my research.
I have a number of different sources, however am finding it difficult to find much information on the game and Bobby Moore’s performance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I was 14 years old, standing in the chicken run. The only thing I can remember is Bobby Moore running towards the Man U penalty area as West Ham attacked, his arms held up, yelling for a pass. Always the boss.
http://www.bobbymooreonline.co.uk/ has some info if you haven’t seen it already
Ryan, you might want to try the editor of “Ex Hammer” magazine http://www.ex-hammers.com/page.php?13
