Greek media earlier December 2 shared a sad news that Remi Moses, a defensive midfielder who played for Man United in the 1980s, had died.
Journalist Andy Mitten said on X, “Understand social media rumours of Remi Moses dying are not true. He’s alive and well.
His children Reece Blakeley also confirmed that his father was indeed still alive.
Born on 14 November 1960 in Manchester, Moses rose to prominence as a tough-tackling, hard-working midfielder who left a lasting impact on English football.
He began his professional career with West Bromwich Albion before joining Manchester United in 1981 for a fee reported between £500,000 and £600,000.
During his time at Old Trafford, he made history by becoming the club’s first Black player to score, marking a significant moment on 21 October 1981 in a match against Middlesbrough. Over seven seasons with United, Moses made 150 league appearances and earned admiration for his fierce commitment and consistency in midfield. His promising career, however, was cut short by recurring injuries, leading to his retirement after the 1987–88 season.
Following retirement, Moses stepped away from the spotlight, working in property around Greater Manchester and briefly coaching the Manchester Warriors under-20 inline-skating team. He is survived by his family, including his son Tunji Moses, who has pursued football himself and has been associated with FC United of Manchester.
