Chelsea captain John Terry has been amongst the best defenders in the world for more than a decade and, according to former team-mate Frank Lampard, the centre-back is “the closest you could get” to World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore.

Promoting Moore’s appearance in video game FIFA 15 the Manchester City midfielder was joined by his father, Frank Lampard Senior, a former team mate of Moore at West Ham. The elder Lampard also saw a resemblance between Terry and the 1966 skipper, saying: “He plays the same game in lots of respects. John’s not the quickest centre half in the league, but he’s got lots of the same attributes as Bobby.”

The youngest Lampard is in no doubt what comparisons with a man describes as “the greatest player England has ever produced” would mean to the Chelsea captain.

Chelsea’s all-time record scorer said: “John would be very proud of the comparison, John’s done very well and they have very similar backgrounds from the East End of London. John’s family are from where Bobby’s from and there’s a strong link there. So for John I’m sure getting mentioned in that bracket would be a huge compliment.”

Lampard Junior, who used to have kick-abouts in his back garden with his father and the World Cup captain, believes that Moore’s unique abilities would have made him a star even in the present day.

PSG v Chelsea - player ratings 22 show all PSG v Chelsea - player ratings 1/22 Salvatore Sirigu: 6 Authorative handling but left helpless for opener. Hung on to Hazard shot and beat Terry to free-kick but underemployed in second period.6 GETTY 2/22 Gregory van der Wiel: 7 Enjoyed space to motor forward but often let down by poor deliveries. Beat Azpilicueta too easily a couple of times and added threat for home side.7 GETTY 3/22 Marquinhos: 7 Imperious domestic form has seen him linked with Manchester United and played a key part in keeping backline secure in early exchanges.7 GETTY 4/22 Thiago Silva: 6 Stood up well to physical challenge of Costa before hosts turned up pressure. Had little to do after break as Chelsea were kept on the back foot.6 GETTY 5/22 Maxwell: 6 Linked up well with Verratti and part of composed PSG backline who recovered from shaky spell before interval. Partly to blame for Chelsea’s goal.6 GETTY 6/22 Marco Verratti: 7 Ceded free-kick to Hazard in dangerous area but later caught by Matic for PSG’s own set-piece. Inventive and at times overly combative.7 GETTY 7/22 David Luiz: 6 Deployed in midfield but badly lost former colleague Ivanovic as the Serb put visitors in front. Better in second half. Creative usage of referee’s foam.6 GETTY 8/22 Blaise Matuidi: 7 Effervescent midfielder always sought to burst forward and went close with header that Courtois repelled. Delightful cross for the equaliser.7 GETTY 9/22 Ezequiel Lavezzi: 7 Effective work on left side but overhit his crosses at times. Pounced after Ibrahimovic effort was saved but had shot blocked by Azpilicueta.7 GETTY 10/22 Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 7 Denied from close range and sent another free-kick over Courtois’ bar. Slalomed through Chelsea box before being twice denied by strong Courtois stops.7 GETTY 11/22 Edinson Cavani: 8 Has revelled in this competition this season and inspired early attacks. Forced Courtois save before powering home leveller. Dribbled effort wide late on.8 GETTY 12/22 Thibaut Courtois: 8 Restored to starting line-up and made strong saves from Matuidi and Cavani but left exposed for latter’s equaliser. Two superb stops to deny Ibrahimovic.8 GETTY 13/22 Branislav Ivanovic: 7 Alive to second ball to nod in Cahill flick, easily beating former team-mate Luiz. Impressive going forward and allowed PSG attackers little space.7 GETTY 14/22 Gary Cahill: 5 Trusted ahead of the impressive Kurt Zouma despite indifferent form. Inspired flick set up Ivanovic for goal but will be remembered for losing his man for home side’s goal. 5 GETTY 15/22 John Terry: 7 Provided unlikely cross that led to Ivanovic’s opener and was hub of Chelsea backline as he tried manfully to prevent a winner for the French side.7 GETTY 16/22 Cesar Azpilicueta: 6 Usually one of the side’s more reliable performers but struggled to settle here. Made a vital clearance from Lavezzi shot after Courtois save.6 GETTY 17/22 Ramires: 6 Tireless running but not able to have same impact as PSG counterparts, who were more direct. Fortunate with late penalty call on Pastore.6 Getty 18/22 Nemanja Matic: 7 Habitually saves his better displays for the bigger matches and was impressive.

Sacrificed for new man Cuadrado in final minutes.5 GETTY 20/22 Cesc Fabregas: 6 Pushed forward into number 10 role but not at his creative best as he suffered from heavy cold.

“If you were to put Bobby in any era, in the era he played or moving up to the era now with Messi and Ronaldo, with his quality across the board, he would be able to deal with all of them.”

Moore is due to be made available on FIFA 15’s Ultimate Team Legends from 6pm this evening, with his appearance in the game coming in partnership with the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK, a campaign that has raised over £18 million for research into bowel cancer, to which Moore lost his life at the age of just 51 in 1993.

Moore’s widow Stephanie spoke of her delight at seeing her father appear on the virtual pitch. She said: “It’s amazing to see Bobby lace-up his boots and step out on to the pitch in a football video game. I’m so proud that a new generation of fans who never saw Bobby play will now be able to see what a wonderful player he was.”

Play as Bobby Moore in EA SPORTS FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Legends, and experience the ball control of Frank Lampard Junior, the reactions of Manuel Neuer and the marking of Giorgio Chiellini in one legendary centre back. Bobby Moore is available from 6pm today, exclusively on Xbox.
