The Final Score

"I can still see, in my mind's eye, that slight, impish figure whose bewitching talent and pace, whether in the red of Manchester United or the green of Northern Ireland, reduced the best defences to confusion and to rubble."

Here he recalls the great games and the stars that he has brought alive for us during an unparalleled television and radio career. From the 1966 World Cup final, through On the Ball and The BigMatch, to France '98, his sense of humour and humility enrich a remarkable personal and professional history.

For the first time, he shares behind-the-scenes stories of colleagues and stars--Jimmy Hill, Brian Clough and Kevin Keegan among them--and looks ahead to the future for television and his beloved football.

The warm-honeyed voice, with its faint Kentish burr, has been an integral part of British sporting life for more than 30 years, and this is a welcome chance to hear the man himself reflect on a life behind the microphone. --Alex Hankin

Brian Moore, for me has always been the master. In the seventies I grew up with him in my life, every Sunday on The Big Match. He is part of the soundtrack of my life and I was pleased to read about his life and to discover that he was as good and nice as he appeared in his TV life. He loved his parents and thought very highly of them. He was happily married for many years until his death. The book also gives the reader some great stories and includes tributes to such people as George Best and Brian Clough.

If you love football, if you grew up during the 70's and 80's then you MUST love Brian Moore and then this book will be for you. Read it and you'll be 'over the moon, Brian'!
