First year at senior school started going to watch West Ham on our own.
We used to meet up opposite mercury house in Romford at 9.30ishand catch the147 bus to Darenham Heathwey or an 87 to barking,whatever came first.
Then go to Dumcombes? when it was in Plashet Grove(later Duncan's in green street)
I've brilliant memories of them days that will never leave me.

Bullet, I was at that game too, got kept in after there was only a handful of us, then going back to the van, the Geordies were following but keeping their distance, as soon as we were all in one came up and punched the back window, and then ran off , idiots. I remember his haircut, centre parting , greasy black wavy hair that thickened at the bottom and trying to grow a moustache. Trying to work out how I was in the van now, I'd gone up by train.

As Wanstead Millwall at UP. I knew a few Millwall in with their police escort from UP station and West Ham mates who had infiltrated it along Green Street, they knew each other. The Millwall fella I know told me later that he looked over and recognised my mate and my mate put his finger to his lips. They never made it up the stairs to the SB.
I remember this night game, not won many times so easily up there, we had a decent team then. The Geordies watched my mate get thrown out and five of them went out after him, chased him all the way back down to the station.

Marquee club, Vibrators, got a sleeper in Selfridges and left without paying, missed one game that season , Boro away won 2-1 on a Tuesday night, was in Paris working, got home on the Saturday for the final game losing 2-0 to Liverpool and getting relegated, had my white suitcase borrowed off my aunt in the West side and Emlyn Hughes acting the cunt. There's more but that'll do for now

Went on holiday to Majorca - a village in the Northern mountains. Was my first time in the Med. and was just blown away by the whole thing.
Thinking back, Spain must've been dirt poor in those days -hardly a car on the road and women doing their laundry in a watercourse running through the village. That was all to change very quickly in the 1980s - now the area is on a par with Switzerland.
