William Gray Bruce Moore (6 October 1894 – 26 September 1968) was an English footballer who played as an inside-left in the Football League for Sunderland and West Ham United.[1]

Career

Moore was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and played for Sunderland, where he partnered Henry Martin on the left, having previously played for Seaton Delaval.[2]

Moore played for West Ham United between 1922 and 1929. He was an ever-present in the side that won promotion back to Division One in 1922–23, and played in the famous White Horse Final of 1923. He received full international recognition with a game against Sweden on 24 May 1923, scoring twice in a 3–1 victory, adding to the four England Amateur caps he'd previously gained against Belgium, Denmark and Sweden.[2][3]
