England's World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore has been honoured with a National Heritage plaque on the house where he grew up.
Moore becomes the first footballer to ever receive a blue plaque outside his childhood home, which is a semi-detached property in Barking, East London.
The former West Ham United defender, who died from cancer at the age of just 51 in 1993, was honoured just days before the 50th anniversary of England's 1966 World Cup triumph.
"Today we are commemorating a man who achieved glory in the world of football and who instilled immense pride and loyalty in the hearts of supporters of the game. Even those who do not follow the game of football know the name Bobby Moore - a legend and a true English hero," former FA chairman Greg Dyke said at the ceremony.
Moore's daughter Roberta added: "I'm sure he would be deeply touched and it's just a very, very special day and it's wonderful to know that it is going to be here forever.
"It's really nice to be able to show my children, who sadly did not get to meet my father, so it's really nice they are able to have a connection with Dad through films and photographs and this kind of lovely occasion."
Moore won 108 caps for England during his illustrious career.
