Craig Andrew Moore (born 12 December 1975) is an Australian former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. His 2006 FIFA World Cup profile describes him as being "tough-tackling and uncompromising but also calm and composed under pressure."[2]

Having graduated through their youth system, Moore made 252 appearances for the Glasgow based club from 1993 to 2005, punctuated with a season in England with Crystal Palace in the 1998–99 First Division. In his time at Rangers, he became team captain and won numerous domestic league and cup honours, including making 44 appearances and scoring four goals in their 2002–03 Treble-winning season. Moore became an important player at the centre of Rangers defence up until 2004 over two spells.

Released by Newcastle after an injury hit two seasons, Moore returned to Australia signing with Queensland Roar (later renamed Brisbane Roar) in the Australian A-League, as their captain and Marquee player.

While making his way to become a professional footballer, Moore was taught and mentored by Eddie Thomson and was responsible for helping him play in the centre–back position, a position he played throughout his whole career.[4] Manager Walter Smith agreed on playing Moore in the centre–back position, saying: "Centre half is his natural position, although I have used him mostly at full back and in midfield. He is mobile and clever, although his aggressive style of play tends to earn him more bookings than any of us would wish."[5]

Ahead of the 2003–04 season, Moore was expecting to make himself available in the first team under the management of Alex McLeish and also appointed as a new captain following the departure of Barry Ferguson.[94] However, he suffered a hamstring injury during a 1–1 draw against Copenhagen in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League third round, and was sidelined for a month.[95] On 27 September 2003, Moore made his return from injury, coming on as a second half substitute, in a 3–1 win against Dundee.[96] He captained his first match for Rangers against Panathinaikos in the UEFA Champions League match and helped the club drew 1–1.[97] However, Moore, once again, suffered another hamstring injury and was substituted in the 68th minute; in a 3–0 lost against Manchester United on 5 November 2003.[98] It wasn’t until on 28 December 2003 when he made his return from injury, coming on as a second half substitute, in a 3–1 win against Dundee.[99] Having been suspended twice in the beginning of 2004, Moore then scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–0 win against Kilmarnock on 11 February 2004.[100] His second goal of the season then came on 13 March 2004, in a 1–1 draw against Hearts.[101] However, he suffered a knee injury that saw him sidelined for the rest of the 2003–04 season.[102] Despite this, Moore went on to make twenty–five appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2004–05 season, Moore’s future at Rangers was in doubt after McGleish stated that he "may leave the club if the player’s ambition didn't match the manager" and still maintain that he need to fight for his first team place.[103] This came after his contract negotiation have been stalled with the club, to the point that his relationship with McGleish to "have deteriorated, perhaps beyond repair".[104] However, his involvement in the "Olyroos", the Australian Olympic Football team, angered Rangers manager McLeish as it forced him to miss the start of the Scottish league season, resulting in Moore being stripped of the club’s captaincy and was placed on a transfer list.[105] Following, he was linked with a move away from Rangers in the summer transfer window, with Real Sociedad and Blackburn Rovers interested in signing Moore.[106] His move to Blackburn Rovers collapsed after failing a medical.[107] He ended up staying at the club and made his first appearance of the season, starting the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Champions League play–offs that saw Rangers eliminated from the tournament.[108] Following this, Moore was forced to the fringes of the team and never played for Rangers again.[109] It was reported on 22 December 2004 that he’s expecting to leave the club, with Everton and Borussia Mönchengladbach interested in signing him.[110] By the time Moore left Rangers, he made six appearances in all competitions in the 2004–05 season.

Shortly after his sacking, it was emerged that the club sacked him after he attended training drunk, a claimed that was denied by Moore.[116] This also led Moore to take legal action against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[117]

On 30 July 2005, Moore signed a two-year deal at Newcastle United to play for the first time in the Premier League.[118]

Moore made his competitive Newcastle United debut on 22 March 2006 against Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-final, becoming the second Australian to play for the Magpies after Dave Mitchell who had a loan spell at St James' Park in the 1990–91 season.[119] Moore's actual first game came at home to Yeading in which he scored one of five goals.[120] Following this, he started in the remaining matches of the 2005–06 season, playing in the centre–back position.[121] However, Injuries ruined Moore's Newcastle career, and he only made eight premiership appearances in the 2005–06 season.[122] Due to injuries when Moore started out at the club, newspaper The Northern Echo branded him as the 'Invisible Man'.[123]

It was rumoured on 25 July 2007 that Moore had signed with Queensland Roar (now Brisbane Roar), to become the Roar's Marquee signing for the 2007–08 Hyundai A-League Season and the 2008–2009 season.[134] This was confirmed with an announcement by Queensland and Moore on 25 July 2007 with Moore signing to be Queensland's marquee player for two years.[135] Upon joining the club, he was given a captain ahead of the new season.[136]

Moore's career with the Queensland Roar did not start well when he was sent off in the 69th minute in the first game of the season against Adelaide United for a second yellow card.

Despite leaving Brisbane Roar on bad terms, Moore’s time at the club was remembered fondly by players and the club, who even selected him in Brisbane Roar Ultimate Eleven.[154]

It wasn’t until on 23 February 2000 when Moore made his first appearances for Socceroos in three years and scored his first goal for the national team, as well as, setting up the first goal of the game, in a 3–0 win against Hungary.[175] A year later on 28 March 2001, he and his then Rangers teammate, Tony Vidmar were called up to the Socceroos squad for the World Cup qualifying matches.[176] The decision to call-up both players angered manager Advocaat before and during Australia’s World Cup qualifying matches.[177] Moore played all four matches for the national team, including a 22–0 win against Tonga and a 31–0 win against American Samoa.[178] A month later, he was called up to the Socceroos squad for the FIFA Confederations Cup.[179] Moore played three matches in the tournament until he was sent–off for a second bookable offence, in a 1–0 lost against Japan in the semi–finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup.[180] He, once again, played in both legs of the FIFA World Cup qualification against Uruguay, as the Socceroos failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup after losing 3–1 on aggregate.[181]

Following this, Moore did not get a Socceroos call–up until 30 January 2003 for the match against England, starting the whole game, in a 3–1 win on 12 February 2003.[182] He didn’t receive another call up from the national team until on 28 January 2004 and captained the Socceroos for the first time, in a 1–1 draw against Venezuela on 18 February 2004.[183]

Moore was called up to the "Olyroos" squad, the Australian Olympic Football team at the 2004 Olympics at Athens, Greece and was named the captain for the tournament.[105][184] With his leadership, he helped the Aussie Olympic team to advance to the quarter–finals after finishing second place in the group stage.[185] In the quarter–finals, the "Olyroos" was eliminated after losing 1–0 against Iraq.[186]

A year later, Moore was called up to the national team squad for the FIFA Confederations Cup.[187] Around this time, he was planning to retire from playing international football.[188] Moore played all three matches for the Socceroos, as the national team were eliminated in the group stage.[189]

In May 2006, Moore represented the Socceroos in the FIFA World Cup, which was the first time since 1974 that the national team last played in the tournament.[190] Prior to the start of the tournament, he said: "You look at our squad, there's going to be competition for all places. That's a good thing, a nice headache for the manager, but I'm confident if I'm fit that I can get back into the team."[191] Moore made his World Cup debut, forming a centre–back partnership with Lucas Neill and Scott Chipperfield, and played 61 minutes before being substituted, in a 3–1 win against Japan.[192] He then scored a penalty kick against Croatia in the 39th minute of the game, in a 2–2 draw enabling Australia to progress to the round of 16.[193] However, Moore started the whole game, as Socceroos lost 1–0 against Italy in the knockout stage and saw Australia eliminated from the tournament.[194]

Following the World Cup, Moore spoke about on choosing to represent club over country should he received a call–up.[195] However, he was in a row with Football Federation Australia after arriving late for the Socceroos’ assembly in Brisbane in time for training and other commitments, therefore breaching the National Team Players Agreement and Code of Conduct.[196] This led manager Graham Arnold to suspend him.[197] A month later on 14 November 2006, Moore’s suspension was lifted and played 45 minutes before being substituted, in a 1–1 draw against Ghana.[198] He announced his international retirement on 6 February 2008 after Australia's 3–0 win over Qatar in their first FIFA World Cup Qualifier at Telstra Dome.[199][141]

In September that year, Moore announced his return to come out of retirement for the Socceroos’ International call ups.[200] On 1 October 2008, Australian coach Pim Verbeek announced that he was part of the 35-man squad for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.[201] On 14 October 2008, Moore made his first appearance for the national team, coming against Qatar, the last team he played against, and helped Socceroos win 4–0.[202] In May 2010, he represented the Socceroos in the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[203] Moore played two matches in the World Cup against Germany and Ghana.[204] However like Harry Kewell, he was suspended for the next match against Serbia after picking up two yellow cards in the tournament and the national team were eliminated from the tournament despite winning the last game.[205]

Moore retired from international football after the 2010 World Cup.[206]

Personal life

In November 2008, Moore was diagnosed with, and underwent surgery for, testicular cancer.[143] Six weeks later, he was given the all-clear to resume his playing career, having caught it early.[145][207] After being given all-clear, Moore said that he undergo tests every three to four months.[207]

In January 2005, Moore was questioned by police on an accusation on racially abusing a taxi driver on New Year’s Day but he did not face charges after questioning.[208] On 16 September 2010, Moore was arrested in Dubai after being in alterations with a taxi driver.[209][210] After making a court appearance, he was fined for 1 ,000 dirhams (about $283) on Sunday for consuming alcohol.[211][210]

Moore is married to his wife and together, they have two children.[212]

In December 2008, Moore was fined for lodging bets totalling $600 on two matches involving A-League teams with betting exchange Betfair. These matches did not include his own side, and because of this, it was deemed a fine was a satisfactory punishment, with the Roar labelling it as an 'honest mistake'.[213] In response to the fine, he said: "That's been dealt with and it was an honest mistake. I put my hand up and I accepted the punishment, so for me, it's been dealt with and we move on."[214]
