Nottingham Forest

Storey-Moore was playing junior football in Scunthorpe when spotted by a scout for Nottingham Forest for whom he signed in May 1961. Johnny Carey became Forest manager in 1963. Carey 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 being League Runners-up and losing in the 1966-67 FA Cup semi-final to Dave Mackay's Tottenham Hotspur.

At Forest Storey-Moore collected his sole full England cap in a game against Holland in 1970.[1] Up until his departure in March 1972, he scored 105 goals in his 236 Forest league games.[2]

Manchester United

In March 1972, Storey-Moore was introduced by Brian Clough, then manager of Derby County as a new player, with a fee of £225,000 reportedly agreed.[3] However, he instead opted to sign for Manchester United, managed by Frank O'Farrell.[4] In 1974, he retired due to injury. He had scored 12 goals for United.

After playing

Storey-Moore later became a bookmaker in Nottingham and worked as Forest's chief scout.[5][6] He went on to work as chief scout at Aston Villa, before leaving the role when Martin O'Neill resigned as manager.[7]
