During his junior year in college, Rashad had legal issues in Portland. He was charged with felony theft in November 1970. [3] [4] [5] He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, a misdemeanor, in early 1971. [6] What we have here to talk about is not the hero as footballer, but that something the English hungered for and found in sport and community the very best performer in the world who was also the hero as human being the gentle, wholly self-sufficient male. Jefferson's lost paragon: the wise innocent." Bobby learnt it all from his mother, Doris,” Stephanie recalls. “She taught him his manners, his politeness, the way he looked after things. Everything was fastidious. I believe she even used to iron the laces on his football boots.” He used to say - relatively speaking - that football had given him a very, very good living. A sort of lifestyle he would never have attained if he had never been a footballer.' Pearce agrees that his colleague and friend was not, at least in his later years, notably disappointed with his lot, but strongly believes that the football authorities were foolish to overlook him. 'This huge effect Bobby had on people - whether it was for 30 seconds or 30 years - to have lost that in life is tragic enough, but for the game never to have employed that and to have never benefi ted from that is a scandal.

But the rumours reached the press and, in February 1993, Moore issued a statement, confirming the illness. The next evening came the San Marino game. 'He was really unwell,' Stephanie tells me, 'and the press were hungry for pictures - it just wasn't right. But he was there because that was the sort of focused, disciplined man he was. If he said he was going to be somewhere, and do something, he would have done it.' Bobby Moore was both adjutant and general. Matinee idol and captain of games. Goody-Twoshoes, and street-fighter if needs be. He was handsome, upright and chivalrous. Blond, balanced, neat, tough, unruffled, strong. Bob had the lot. The chevalier and charming with it. It goes without saying, he made the pass for Hurst's winning goal in that eruptively dramatic last minute. No, not the winning goal, in fact, the clinching goal – the winner had been disputed a quarter of an hour earlier. Bobby felt it necessary to tidy up things: 3-2 and the Germans could argue till the cows came home 4-2 and no argument, thanks very much, okay boys? That was Bobby. Moore appeared in the 1981 film Escape to Victory, as Terry Brady, and in cameo roles, as himself, in several episodes of Till Death Do Us Part, including one of its spin-off films The Alf Garnett Saga.

Jonathan Pearce, Moore's colleague at Capital Radio in the final years of his life, agrees that 'there were too many rumours about Bobby for him ever to be given the sort of role that he should have had'. Moore would never talk about his business dealings, says Pearce, 'and the only time I brought it up in conversation he was stand-offish - as if to say "leave alone ".'

Of course, the reserve inherent in a player-manager relationship can leave its residue. However, even as someone who had the privilege (one of the most valued to come out of my professional life) of being on relaxed and friendly terms with Bobby Moore over nearly three decades of savouring, many times in many places, the quiet strength of his individuality, the dry, mildly mischievous humour, his gracious, unaffected courtesy I can testify to a feeling that no matter how much of himself he opened up there might still be an inner door or two left closed.The Bobby Moore Fund will benefit from England v Brazil match". www.thefa.com.

By the summer of 1985, Jobson was in full control of the club and, for the first time since Moore's arrival, there was some stability. Frank Lampard, another former West Ham player and the father of the current Chelsea star, became player-coach and there was money to sign new players. Lampard describes Moore as 'an excellent, excellent manager for the players', who never really lost his temper. If he did throw a tantrum, 'it didn't really look like him, it didn't have that same effect'. Moore was still determined to cover the West Ham match against Newcastle the following Saturday. 'I think he must have known that it was probably the last time he would go to West Ham,' says Pearce. 'But Stephanie called me on the Friday saying that she didn't want him to go, that it was too much for the family after all the attention during the week. I phoned Bobby up and told them that I didn't think it was a good idea that he came - I didn't mention what Stephanie had said. What he said will stay with me for ever: "If that's your decision I'll respect it, but I must admit that I'm very disappointed ". It was the only time I ever disappointed Bobby. And that's the last time I ever spoke to him.' One afternoon 28 years ago, a remarkable meeting took place over lunch at London's Howard Hotel, between one of the country's most famous pop stars and the finest English footballer of his generation. The pop star, Elton John, had recently taken over Watford football club and needed a new manager. The footballer, Bobby Moore, was in the final week of his playing career and, like so many players at that stage of their lives, was looking for his break in management. It seemed a perfect match and a deal was agreed in principle. The two men shook hands and John promised to call Moore to finalise the details. Moore's wife Tina thought it was 'a done deal'.

It was never simply a matter of being unfrightenable, whether confronted by physical risk or mountainous responsibility. The impression was of a nature so comfortable with challenge that it needed crisis to show its true strength.

According to Stephanie, he never seemed bothered by the rumours but they 'certainly irritated' her. Pearce thinks that being West Ham captain and an East Londoner led inevitably to innuendo. 'I don't think he was ever involved with the wrong sort of people. But all that lot knew the Sixties London people. That came with the patch. That came with playing for West Ham - it was that sort of territory. They were bound to meet the wrong people. All the players did. Bobby met the Krays. I don't know about the Richardsons but he also knew all the stars - Frankie Vaughan and so on.' He became professional after being drafted by the Cardinals. Rashad returned to playing as wide receiver, and played for the Cardinals for two seasons. After being traded to the Buffalo Bills in 1974, and sitting out the 1975 season with a knee injury, he signed with the Seattle Seahawks before the 1976 season. They traded him shortly thereafter to the Minnesota Vikings (1976–1982), where he earned four Pro Bowl selections from 1978 to 1981.

He and Stephanie married in December 1991 and travelled widely during the final months. 'Bobby was never a complainer, and he never criticised the cards that had been dealt him,' Stephanie says. 'Even when he was diagnosed with bowel cancer, he was never angry - it was never in his nature.' Yet the impact of his death, and the remarkably widespread ache of deprivation left by it, cannot possibly be explained in terms of accumulated nostalgia. Even the length and sustained distinction of his professional career (his total of 108 international caps remains a record for an English outfield player) do not take us halfway to an explanation. The encouraging truth may be that Moore's place in the hearts of such a large percentage of the population confirms the survival among us of the capacity to recognise and applaud heroic style.
