Give it to Moore; He Will Score!: The Authorised Biography of Ian Storey-Moore, The Man Clough Couldn't Buy by Stuart Humphreys

Give it to Moore, He Will Score! is the authorised biography of footballing icon Ian Storey-Moore, Nottingham Forest's legendary forward of the 1960s and early 70s.

Scoring more than 100 top-flight goals for Forest, he became the most sought-after striker in the land. An England international, injury robbed him of numerous caps and a place at the Mexico 1970 World Cup.

Moore's sensational on-off transfer to Derby County for a British record fee was front-page news and left Brian Clough unable to speak to him for two decades. Joining Manchester United instead, he played alongside Best, Law and Charlton before sampling life in the nascent US soccer scene.

Here, for the first time, the authors tell the full story of Moore's life and career, drawing on their extensive interviews with him, his personal scrapbooks and their own first-hand memories.

With Moore still a hugely popular figure among fans, his story is essential reading for Forest and United supporters, plus anyone with an interest in football history.

Give it to Moore; He Will Score! Reviews

So, Moore's memories mined and his fathers scrapbooks plundered being just part of the depth that goes into this well-researched book to produce an accurate account of a top playing career that (mainly) included Nottingham Forest, Manchester United & Burton Albion. It iincludes a truly great and original picture section [and] a detailed statistics layout chronicling all that constitutes the 'He Will Score' aspect. Martin O'Neill says in the foreword: 'I am so pleased that, for Ian Storey-Moore, the story of this wondrous footballer is now being told.' Indeed it is, and told well. -- Mark Watkins * Dare Radio *
