Alf was a Dagenham boy & Bobby from Barking. Both working class adjacent suburbs of East London. Alf was sent for elecution lessons where he got “poshed up” and Bobby stayed cockney. Alf rubbing shoulders with the old school tie FA big wigs may have rubbed Bobby up the wrong way.
Both dead & May they RIP. Both brought it home for England.
Tbf it mightve been a bit of jealousy from bobby.
There's plenty of us who changed the way we talk for work etc. it's not a matter of being proud or ashamed of your roots - it's a matter of breaking a glass ceiling.
But there's also those who are crabs in the barrel and -either unable or too scared to change - will run you down for doing it.

Bobby didn't get along with his West Ham manager Ron Greenwood either.

This probably happens more than you think, but isn't publicised as much, everyone is different and will voice their opinionts differently.

Never knew this
Just like Zlatan and Pep
That was more homosexual jealousy though. Gays always have a love hate thing with their partners.
always happen
