The Football Association will mark the 20th year since Bobby Moore's death by flying the flag of St George at half-mast during the League Cup final at Wembley.

The Football Association will pay tribute to the late Bobby Moore at this Sunday's League Cup final at Wembley.

The governing body have decided to fly the flag of St George at half-mast during the clash between Swansea City and Bradford City to mark the 20th anniversary of the England World Cup-winning captain.

"Bobby's contribution to football and history has sadly only been recognised after his premature death," the Daily Mail quotes FA director of football development Sir Trevor Booking as saying.

"He was an astonishing footballer, but also a great man and an important footballing friend to me in my early days."

Moore passed away from liver and colon cancer at the age of 51.
