Just found quite a few good links through google. No point posting them all up, as there were loads

Quite a few old match reports too, most of the first two pages of results are pretty good. Didn't go much further than that!

Have you thought about contacting the clubs themselves? they may have old contracts, signing on forms, something....

Try Manchester they have a good history and will have kept some things maybe

Graham Moore
An inside forward come centre forward who was spotted in Cardiff amateur football, and snapped up on professional terms while he was still only 17 years old. He produced a number of impressive reserve team displays so found himself with a first team debut a few months later, and scored in the final minute of the game. He was a player of a typical centre forward physique but with the skills to operate in the inside forward positions, a combination which allowed him to play what was at the time a highly unusual role, a deep lying centre forward, and it was from this strategy that he scored 4 goals in City's trial match in 1959. Hugely impressive in City's 1959-60 promotion campaign, he won the first of his 21 Wales international caps, and scored on his debut against England at Ninian Park. It also fell to him to score the vital winner against Aston Villa with a spectacular volley that put City back into the First Division at the end of the 1959-60 season. However, with he and City doing well in the top flight, for some unaccountable reason, when Tommy Docherty offered a £35,000 cheque for his services, City took the money and yet again another talented City discovery left the club. Strange to relate, Chelsea were relegated at the end of the season, and as City went down the following season, Chelsea passed them on the way back up. A move to Manchester United transpired for him in November 1963, following his 68 League appearances plus 13 goals for Chelsea, and another £35,000 transfer fee. He was never a success there, and in 2 seasons played just 18 League matches with 3 goals, before moving on to the then up and coming Northampton Town in December 1965. He managed 53 League matches for them with another 10 goals, and as Northampton started their freefall back down through the League, he left for Charlton Athletic in June 1967. By now he was playing a midfield role, and went on to play 110 League matches for Charlton before his final move to Doncaster Rovers in September 1971. His final 3 seasons resulted in 69 more League matches with 3 goals, before he entered the licencing trade in Yorkshire.

Phone the clubs media department and ask to speak to Richard Sheppard, great historian on all things CCFC, he'll have all the info for you.
