John Moore (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Moore was an English football player (274 appearances, 13 goals) and manager who took Luton Town to a club-best seventh place in the original First Division in his only season as a manager - 1986-87. He resigned after just one season in management because he did not feel that it was the right career for him, although he later returned to Luton as a coach. He is now 1st team coach at Bedford Modern School.

His work for Luton made him a legend to Luton fans, with his continual development of talented young players such as Kelvin Davis, Emmerson Boyce, Matthew Taylor (footballer), Curtis Davies, Matthew Upson, Matthew Spring, Paul Telfer (footballer), Mark Pembridge, Scott Oakes, John Hartson and Gary Doherty, all of whom have gone on to play in the Premier League.
