English sports commentator and television presenter

Brian Baden Moore (28 February 1932 – 1 September 2001) was an English football commentator and television presenter who covered nine World Cups and more than twenty FA Cup finals.

Moore was born in Benenden, Kent. After passing his eleven plus, he was educated at Cranbrook School, Kent, which was also the school of fellow commentators Peter West and Barry Davies.

Moore began his career in newspapers. His first job, in 1954, was as a sub editor on the monthly World Sports magazine. He subsequently worked for The Exchange Telegraph for two years before moving to The Times in 1958.

In 1961, Moore became a football commentator and presenter on BBC Radio, and the corporation's first football correspondent in 1963. Moore, Alan Clarke and Maurice Edelston were the commentators for BBC Radio when England won the 1966 World Cup. Moore also covered the FA Cup Final from 1964 to 1967, and European Cup Winners' Cup victories for Tottenham Hotspur in 1963 and West Ham United in 1965, and Celtic's European Cup victory in 1967.

Moore married Betty Cole in 1955. They had two sons. Moore was a lifelong supporter of Gillingham and served as a director at the club for seven years. A stand at the club's Priestfield Stadium is named after him. Moore suffered from serious heart problems in his later life and twice underwent life saving surgery for blocked arteries. After the first health scare, he became a regular churchgoer and a committed Christian. He died at the age of 69 on 1 September 2001, the day that England beat Germany 5–1 in Munich during the qualifying stages of the 2002 World Cup.
