Michael Moore (born 20 July 1952) is an English former footballer. A midfielder, he played for Preston North End and Port Vale, but made his name at both Southport and Wigan Athletic. He helped Southport to the Fourth Division title in 1972–73, and also played for Wigan in their first ever season in the Football League. He also enjoyed an extensive non-league career, turning out for eleven different clubs, as well as spending a brief period in the United States with Dallas Tornado.
Moore played youth football for Adlington Rangers and Blackburn Rovers, before becoming an unused squad member for Third Division side Preston North End in 1970–71, during which time he also played on loan for Chorley in the Northern Premier League.
He signed with Southport in 1971, who were then in the Fourth Division. After missing out on the play-offs in 1971–72, the "Sandgrounders" won promotion in 1972–73 as Fourth Division champions. However they were relegated in 1973–74, after which Moore was released.
He spent time with Great Harwood and American side Dallas Tornado, before joining Northern Premier League side Altrincham in 1975. He hit twenty goals in 45 games in league and cup in 1975–76. His scoring form continued into 1976–77, in which he bagged seventeen goals in 41 games, including a hat-trick against Woking.
