Moore hails from Paul Scholes country. North Manchester. He first started going to Old Trafford thanks to his PE teacher at Cardinal Langley (where Scholesy was also a pupil) who had regular access to tickets.
“I remember kicking off because I’d go to every single game, and then he got five tickets for Liverpool and the whole school wanted one,” he laughs. “He said: ‘We’re going to have to do a name-in-the-hat job…’ I was going mad! Luckily, my name was first out… I think that was on purpose, because he knew I’d done every single one, like Burton Albion at home…
“The minute I got a job, when I left school at 16, I got a season ticket. That was my main thing, because obviously Mum and Dad couldn’t afford to do that when I was a kid. That was it then; I’ve not stopped going since. It was a good year to get the bug, because that ’06/07 season was when we got the league back. That ‘Mourinho, are you listening?’ song was going around.”
