West Ham are planning to mark the 20th anniversary of Bobby Moore's death through a series of tributes before and after the Premier League clash with Tottenham on 25 February. A wreath will be laid at the foot of the World Cup heroes statue on Barking Road; a mosaic depicting Moore's famous number 6 shirt- since retired by the club- will be created in the Bobby Moore Stand on the south side of the Boleyn Ground. A commemorative match programme will be created, with all proceeds going to the Bobby Moore fund and the West Ham players will be wearing special shirts during the pre match warm up, which will later be signed and auctioned off for the same charity. 20 years on, and still there's no one greater or more special to English football. Bobby Moore's Claret and Blue army.
