RIP Graham One of the nicest memories about him, apart from his rocket shot, was the expression his skills used to put on the face of my mate's dad who took us to games. He bloody loved him, and would break into this huge grin and shake his head with a happy chuckle at one of Graham's passes or his ability to keep the ball in midfield. It was him and Eamonn Rodgers that had that effect :-)
One of my first Charlton heroes, a very classy player one he'll of a shot on him thankyou for the pleasure you gave cafc fans the efforts of the current excuses for players wearing the shirt pale by comparison sincerest condolences
Great first touch - read the game wonderfully - was a treat to watch. As others have posted a player of his ability / class / vision would be very welcome now. Always thought Graham came to the valley at the right time in his career. We might not have seen the best of him, but he what we did see was great. RIP

Well said lolwray, the players were different class in those days.
The man was CLASS.....We called him The Tank,reliable Always willing to work for the team and a shoot that could almost break the back of the net.An easter game against Cardiff City which had the TV cameras been at The Valley would have been GOAL OF THE DECADE.I would say he was the Welsh Bobby Moore he was so cool on the ball and his passes perfect.As a young fan at the time he would Always have time for a chat and Always made you welcome.The Gentleman that was Graham Moore.To his family fill pride and enjoyment that he gave this young fan.
RIP GRAHAM MOORE .......with a tear in my eye gone BUT NEVER FORGOTEN.
He enjoyed an excellent central midfield partnership with Alan Campbell in the 68/69 side. A really tough tackler, with a powerful shot. I also always enjoyed watching him in the Home Internationals, which were some of the very few live TV games in those days.
It's fitting that we're playing Cardiff on Saturday, his very first league club where it all began back in the late 50s.
Made my first visits to the Valley in 68/69 and even now, that team remains one of my all time favourite sides. The names - Wright, Curtis, Kinsey, Campbell, Went, Reeves, Gregory, Treacy, Tees, Moore, Peacock - still trip off the tongue.
Sobering thought that Graham Moore now joins Ray Treacy and Bob Curtis in looking down at the shambles the club currently is.
Graham Moore and Alan Campbell - the forerunners of the Scott Parker/Claus Jensen partnership.

RIP Graham
A midfielder (inside forward) capable both of mixing it physically, which they did far more back then than now, but skilful and creative too.
He and Alan Campbell made a fine pair in midfield to use today's vernacular.

So long Tank and thanks for a memory that always made me smile when I reminisced about the team in the late 60's & early 70's

Fitting that Saturday's match is between the club where he made the most appearances, and the club where he started his professional career
