Rejected petition Create a special edict so that Bobby Moore can recieve a posthumous Knighthood.

Bobby Moore was the greatest ever England mens football Captain and the only (so far) to win the world cup. He did at the young age of 51 and was overlooked for a knighthood. However he is one of the greatest ever English men and still loved by millions, whom I believe would think he deserves this.

More details

Only Mens England Captain to left the world cup.

One of the greatest ever defenders our country has produced, who has achieved hero status and loved by all football fans.
