A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to fund a film on the life of England, West Ham and Fulham star Bobby Moore.
Bo66y is a new feature documentary on the man Pele called the "world’s greatest defender", and will be released in summer 2016, to mark the 50th anniversary of England’s only World Cup win.
It is produced by sports journalist and broadcaster Matthew Lorenzo and features exclusive with interviews with Wayne Rooney, Roy Hodgson, Sir Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Paul Gascoigne, Frank Lampard and his father, Harry Redknapp, George Cohen, Gordon Banks, Norman Hunter and Russel Brand.
The film aims to be completed with crowd funding from football and film fans worldwide through the Kickstarter platform.
The only man to captain an England World-Cup winning team played for Fulham between 1974-77, following a glittering 18-year career at West Ham.
He played for the Craven Cottage outfit out in the 1975 FA Cup Final, which they lost to 2-0 to his old team.
It proved to be his last appearance at Wembley, where he lifted the Jules Rimet trophy nine years earlier.
He died in 1993 after losing his battle against cancer.
Matt said: “Bobby Moore is a forgotten hero: there are people who still love him, but he’s been lost from popular culture and that’s why I want to make this film -to celebrate his life with the people who love him most.
“We want to invite the fans to be a part of this historic film. With their help, we’ll be able to do his story justice and make the film part of the legacy he truly deserves”.
Perks for participating in the Kickstarter campaign will include tickets to private screenings with celebrity guests, the funder’s name in the film credits, match tickets with exclusive access to players, and a chance to meet a football legend.
