How on earth was Bobby Moore more successful than Bobby Charlton?
They've both won the World Cup and the FA Cup, but Chalrton's won 3 league titles. His winning the European Cup trumps Moore winning the Cup Winner's Cup. Individually, they've both won Footballer of the Year, but Charlton's won the Ballon d'Or as well.
So I assume you're basing this on Moore winning two more England caps, or on him captaining the WC winning side while Charlton's paltry contribution was only 3 goals from midfield? Or maybe its a lack of West Ham Player of the Year awards that taints Charlton's CV so badly?
