On this day - 28 May

Shortly before the start of the World Cup in Mexico, England captain Bobby Moore and the team were in Columbia to play a friendly football match in preparation for the altitude difference they would face. While in Bogotá, much of the team visited a local jewellery store. Bobby Moore was accused of stealing a valuable bracelet from the store by the shop assistant, Clara Padilla. He claimed he hadn't and the football match between Columbia and England went ahead. When it came to leaving the country, Bobby Moore was detained over the alleged theft.

On May 28th 1970, he was cleared of the theft and allowed to rejoin his team in Mexico. From here he went on to play in the world cup matches as planned. Despite being cleared of the crime, it took until 1972 for the Columbians to officially close the case.
