They don't get voted in to be.
He was never voted.
People never put their hand up and said, Moro should be the captain.
Moro, he automatically progressed, even that young photograph as a teenager.
He assumed it.
He just assumed it.
Yeah.
A natural leader not only for West Ham of course but he wasn't voted to be the captain of the national side but he just becomes a natural leader and of course then became the captain of the national team.
So much.
I think the biggest influence which I had in my life career was
was what we called the near post cross, the cross.
In the medieval days, as I joke, the Matthews and Finney area, you'd have a fullback and you'd have a winger, Matthews and Finney, and the objective was the winger, Matthews, to beat the fullback and then cross the ball.
What we started doing under Ron Greenwood was crossing the ball before we got to the fullback, past the fullback.
That's one of the fundamental and that provided goals.
I can talk about the goals later from the right and the left.
And that's not the winger.
It could be the right side of me field, the right fullback.
And we worked on that at West Ham for hours and hours and hours, crossing the ball accurately past the fullback from left and right.
Well, I wasn't so much the first goal.
I think probably the thing that people tend to forget or overlooked, that I'm probably the last person to score six in a game.
