We had the pleasure of meeting the 1960s and 70s football great and Nottingham Forest legend Ian Storey Moore for the second time on our recent visit to Carlton Town Football Club.
We have to say Ian is one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet, a very humble man and extremely approachable and more than happy to talk at length about the game.
The recently released book about Ian called "Give it to Moore, He Will Score!" tells the full story of Moore’s life and career with the authors drawing on their extensive interviews with him, his personal scrapbooks and their own first-hand memories in this authorised biography.
Ian's career started at Nottingham Forest in 1962 aged 17, he was predominantly a left winger and scored 105 league goals for the Reds in 236 appearances and earned one cap for England during this spell.
Moore’s sensational on-off transfer to Derby County for a British record fee was front-page news and left Brian Clough unable to speak to him for two decades!
He opted to move to Manchester United in 1972, but his league career was sadly brought to an early end by injury in 1974.
He went on to play for non-league Burton Albion, as well as North American Soccer League side Chicago Sting and later served as player-manager for Shepshed Charterhouse, and for Burton Albion in his third spell at the club, before becoming chief scout at Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
We received a copy of the book from the great man himself and we have to say its a fantastic read!
Even if you’re not a follower of Nottingham Forest or Manchester United its a wonderful book about a football icon who played with the likes of Law. Best, Charlton and many many more.
We interviewed Ian when we first met him at Carlton Town on what was National Non-League Day in March last year and his enthusiasm for football was as strong as ever and his admiration for Non-League football was clearly evident and he is a regular visitor to watch and support his local side.
We can only reiterate that Ian is one of the nicest fellas you could meet and will do anything for you and is a living legend to many, and we look forward to having him as a guest to talk about his career and his book on our brand new 'Proper Football The Podcast' which is coming very soon.
