Bobby Moore: First Gentleman of English Football
Nice topical display at the National Portrait Gallery looking at the life and career of Sir Bobby Moore. The show obviously included the famous picture of his on the shoulders of his team mates holding the World Cup which cemented him as national hero along with other pictures from his career, such as one of him aged 17 when he signed to Fulham. However there was a nice balance with pictures of him at home and after his retirement from football. The majority of the pictures were press photographs so there was the added element of seeing how the press of the time represented a public figure. Closes in January 2019 Review Guardian
