Ernie the West ham United goalkeeper I went to see all the team play as I lived in custom house e 16 oi was born in 1944 a life long hammers fan for ever
Loved watching this, I was born in Howard's road plaistow maternity hospital in 1962 and spent most weekends at my nans house in kings court. Which was a few hundred yards behind queens rd market. My first venture to the upton park ground, was in 1967/ 68 season as a 5 or 6 year old. I like most have seen some of west hams finest players come and go. I'm 62 now and love west ham as much now as I did then. COYI
Irish Snowman, Many thanks for this excellent video featuring the best of West Ham over the years. Great goals-for and some against-and great highlights featured but always fine attractive football from the Hammers!
Season started in November that season. I have that video. Gonna throw it out soon with the others. Unbelievable especially how excited I was getting it in the first place.
Top League as it were domestic players.... We played like that how about now. Let current team & manager watch these players our ethos 'The West Ham Way' even when losing great to watch I was 10 around these games & never missed
England's version of franz beckenbauer... like all great players he always seemed to find time and space.... straight back head always up playing the game as if it's chess... the game against Brazil in 1970 was for me bobby Moore at his peak.... the true art of defending against skill and pace....if it wasn't for Moore Brazil would have torn England apart
Irish Snowman, Thanks very much for supplying this Cup Final. Good performances by Devonshire and Brooking for the Hammers and Talbot and O'Leary for Arsenal.
I went to this game with a friend we didn't have tickets but when we got to the turnstiles we saw people getting in by giving the man there money we got in without a ticket so did a lot of other people remember it being really hot and it was like being in a tin of sardines you couldn't move we got in the West ham end.
Fake legend from an arranged World Cup.! English referee for the game Germany vs Uruguay?? German referee for the game England vs Argentina..?? Shameful championship.!!
Assuming that you have a valid argument, then you should be equally offended by Maradona's disgraceful 1-st goal against England; but I doubt that you are!!! Also, in 1978 W. Cup according to FIFA's own rules, last games of each group should have been played simultaneously, so no team would have an unjust advantage; but Argentina match against Peru was played after Brazil had beaten Poland 3-0, so Argentina knew in advance exactly how many goals they need to score to reach the final. Are you equally offended by that shameful W. Cup?!!!! In the same W. Cup, Argentina was late 5 minutes for the final; would Argentina dare to be late should they were not the host?!!!! According to Ruud Krol Holland's captain, their bus on their way to the stadium was bombarded with rocks thrown at the Bus windows by the honorable Argentine fans, to the point that the Dutch players were afraid for their safety. Do you call such acts honorable or shameful?!!!! Before even the game began, your honorable captain Passarella objected to Rene Van Der Kerkhof's wrist band due to the injury that had happened to him in Holland's 1-st game against Iran!!! Mind you, Rene played with the same bondage on his wrist against Peru, Scotland, Austria, W. Germany and Italy, and none of those teams raised any objection!! So, was it honorable for Argentina to play such dirty tricks or were all those actions completely shameful?!!!! And mind you; your allegations are subjective assumptions; mines are objective facts!!! AS for Bobby Moore being a fake legend: Both Pele and Beckenbauer have described him as the best defender in the world at his time!! So much for your objectivity in your comment!!!!
As I get on, I realize how tribal I am. My back proudly bears the ink that served as my tribal affiliation in my youth, and now I am merely a tribal elder 🍺🏴 I’m an expat now, if I want my pie mash n liquor then I have to make it my bloody self 😂
