Charles William Moore (3 June 1893 – 9 March 1966) was an English footballer who played as a full back for Manchester United. Born in Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire, he played for Hednesford Town before joining United in May 1919. After two seasons, a recurring injury forced Moore to stop playing football, but in September 1922 he returned to play for United for a further eight years, making a total of 328 appearances for the club before retiring at the end of the 1929–1930 season. Moore became most-capped United outfield player who never scored for the club. He also never made an appearance for England, despite his reliability and consistency in his club's lineup.
