Bobby Moore to feature in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Legends
Frank Lampard Jnr and Frank Lampard Snr shared their memories of England's greatest ever captain to celebrate Moore's inclusion in EA SPORTS FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Legends, allowing gamers to play Bobby alongside modern day superstars in the game.
Frank Lampard has praised former captain John Terry, calling him "the closest you could get" to Bobby Moore in modern day football, a view shared by Lampard's father Frank Lampard Senior, who played alongside Bobby at West Ham. Frank Lampard Senior added: "He plays the same game in lots of respects. John's not the quickest centre half in the league, but he's got lots of the same attributes as Bobby."
Frank Lampard Jnr is confident that England's greatest ever captain would have shone in the modern era: "If you were to put Bobby in any era, in the era he played or moving up to the era now with Messi and Ronaldo, with his quality across the board, he would be able to deal with all of them." EA SPORTS has created an infographic (attached) showing Bobby's in game ratings compared to modern day players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard Jnr, and Thiago Silva.
