ARA La Gantoise described the captain of the winners of the 1964-65 European Cup Winners Cup as the best defender he had ever played against.
The season 196465 of the European Cup Winners' Cup football club tournament was won by West Ham United in a final at Wembley Stadium against 1860 Munich. 
 West Ham's Bobby Moore was captaining a side that also included Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters just one season before all three went on to star in England's World Cup winning side of 1966. 
 He is widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders of all time, and was cited by Pel as the greatest defender that he had ever played against.
