Kevin Thomas Moore (29 April 1958 – 29 April 2013)[1] was an English professional footballer.
Born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, he played for Grimsby Town, Oldham Athletic, Southampton, Bristol Rovers and Fulham. Moore is one of five members of his family to play for Grimsby, including his brothers David and Andy, his father Roy and his uncle Norman.[2]
Illness and death
In January 2010, it was reported that Moore was suffering from Pick's disease, a rare form of dementia, and in need of 24-hour care.[1] To support his care, his former club Southampton organised a charity golf day, while another of his former clubs, Grimsby, played a benefit match to provide for Moore's care.[3] He died on his 55th birthday, 29 April 2013, in Hedge End, Hampshire.[4]
