Originally signed for Rovers in 1971, Moore made his Tranmere debut as a defender.

It was John King who decided the Liverpudlian would be better suited to a striking role and he was rewarded when Moore netted 34 goals in the 1975-76 season.

After being sold to Cardiff City for a Club record £120,000, Moore eventually returned to Prenton Park in 1986. He was temporarily Manager for three months following the departure of Frank Worthington and later became Player Coach under John King's second spell in charge of the Club.

He was elevated to the role of Assistant Manager and helped the Club to promotion from Division Three to Division One and five appearances at Wembley Stadium, including the Division Two Play Off final win over Bolton Wanderers.

In 1997 he took charge at Rotherham United where he guided them to successive promotions from Division Three to Division One in on a shoestring budget. Few expected the Millers to stay in the second flight in English football but Moore's side defied the odds for three seasons despite having one of the lowest average attendances in the division.

After leaving Rotherham in February 2005, he was quickly appointed Oldham manager and helped them secure safety in 2004-05 before guiding them to tenth last season - just six points off the Play Offs.

He joined Rovers as Manager in June 2006.
