Ian Storey-Moore (born 17 January 1945) is an English former internationalist association football forward. He scored over 100 league goals for Nottingham Forest before his career ended early due to injury when playing for Manchester United. He later managed Shepshed Charterhouse and Burton Albion and was chief scout at Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
Storey-Moore was playing junior football in Scunthorpe when spotted by a scout for Nottingham Forest for whom he signed in May 1961. Johnny Carey became Forest manager in 1963. Carey assembled a team including Storey-Moore, Joe Baker and Alan Hinton that for a long spell went largely unchanged in challenging for the 1966–67 Football League title. They beat title rivals
Manchester United 4–1 at the City Ground on 1 October 1966. The 3–0 win against Aston Villa on 15 April had Forest second in the table a point behind United. Injuries eventually took effect meaning Forest had to settle for being League Runners-up and losing in the 1966-67 FA Cup semi-final to Dave Mackay's Tottenham Hotspur.
At Forest Storey-Moore collected his sole full England cap in a game against Holland in 1970. Up until his departure in March 1972, he scored 105 goals in his 236 Forest league games.
In March 1972, Storey-Moore was introduced by Brian Clough, then manager of Derby County as a new player, with a fee of £225,000 reportedly agreed. However, he instead opted to sign for Manchester United, managed by Frank O'Farrell. In 1974, he retired due to injury. He had scored 12 goals for United.
