The interview at the time is interesting. https://www.channel4.com/news/bobby-moore-and-the-bogota-bracelet-1970 Thompson can't be the player alluded to in your link, too old. Using my impartial eye, Moore was a thieving cheating cunt who lived waaaay beyond what he should have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 1, 2019 The Maltese football fraternity was on Monday mourning the loss of Herbert Messina Ferrante who passed away after a long illness, aged 80. A dental surgeon by profession, Messina Ferrante is fondly remembered in the football circles as an administrator, having served as president of Sliema Wanderers for six years after he was elected at the head of the Blues in 1987. During his time as Sliema president, he led the team to a memorable league title in season 1988-89. In 1990, the Wanderers also won the FA Trophy following a 1-0 win over Birkirkara in the final.
