Ian Storey-Moore (born 17 January 1945) is an English former
Nottingham Forest
Storey-Moore was playing junior football in Scunthorpe when he was spotted by a scout for Nottingham Forest, for whom he signed in May 1961. Johnny Carey became Forest manager in 1963, and he assembled a team including Storey-Moore, Joe Baker and Alan Hinton that, for a long spell, went largely unchanged in challenging for the 1966–67 Football League title. They beat title rivals Manchester United 4–1 at the City Ground on 1 October 1966. The 3–0 win against Aston Villa on 15 April had Forest second in the table, a point behind United. Injuries eventually took effect, meaning Forest had to settle for second place; they also lost in the 1966–67 FA Cup semi-final to Dave Mackay's Tottenham Hotspur.
At Forest, Storey-Moore collected his sole England cap in a game against the Netherlands in 1970.[1] Up until his departure in March 1972, he scored 105 goals in his 236 league games for the club.[2]
Manchester United
In March 1972, Storey-Moore was announced by Derby County manager Brian Clough as having signed for the club, with a fee of £225,000 reportedly agreed.[3] However, Storey-Moore instead opted to sign for Manchester United, managed by Frank O'Farrell.[4] In 1974, he suffered an injury that brought his league career to an end. He had scored 12 goals for United.
Burton Albion
Following his injury, Storey-Moore signed for Southern League side Burton Albion, having been convinced to join by manager Ken Gutteridge. He played for Burton for three seasons from 1974 to 1977, including a spell at North American Soccer League side Chicago Sting in 1975, before moving to Shepshed Charterhouse for his first managerial role in 1977. Storey-Moore returned to Burton as player-manager from 1978 to 1981, before retiring from the game.[5]
After playing
Storey-Moore later became a bookmaker in Nottingham and worked as Forest's chief scout.[6][7] He went on to work as chief scout at Aston Villa, leaving the role when Martin O'Neill resigned as manager.[8]
