Early years
Moore graduated from San Fernando High School in San Fernando California. He played college football for the University of Southern California.
Professional career
Moore was a 9th round selection (216th overall) in the 1974 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.[1] He would play for the 49ers (1974–1975), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1976), the Oakland Raiders (1976 when they won Super Bowl XI), the Minnesota Vikings (1977).[2] Moore, selected by the Buccaneers in the 1976 NFL Expansion Draft, was lucky enough to be picked up by the Super Bowl XI-bound Raiders after being waived by the winless (0-13, at that point) Buccaneers. With Rick Jennings injured and the playoffs about to start, the Raiders needed an extra kick returner as insurance.[3]
Brief rugby league appearance
After winning Super Bowl XI with the Oakland Raiders[4] in the United States, he was recruited by Australian New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership team the Newtown Jets in 1977.
Moore had a sensational start at Newtown, scoring the club's first try of the 1977 season.[5] However he lasted only four games in the NSWRFL; receiving a head injury in a match against Penrith which prompted him to return to the National Football League prematurely.[5]
