When I first started going (early 70's) with my old man and Uncle there always used to be a bloke (probably in his late 30's) near us where we used to stand... one of those grimy beige macs, a flat cap and the thickest national health glasses you have ever seen... my Dad used to call him 10 second man.. as he was always 10 seconds behind every chant or shout out...

One of my earliest memories of the Boleyn was the Peanut seller in the leathers and goofy teeth....
Fuck me he used to get some stick!

Unless I dreamt it, I once saw quasi getting off a motorcycle at Loftus road with forementioned aging sixties dolly bird on the back. Late eighties, I think we lost two one.

Does anyone remember the aging sixties dolly bird who seemed to hang out with quasi? A face caked in makeup in a vain attempt to hold back the years?

Indeed it was Monty
He was around in the late 1950s into the 60s
He wore military uniform desert rat style with shorts and Montgomery Beret,
He would entertain the crowd with marching and PT on the cinder track around the ground before the game, to great cheers,
He could also be seen regularly along East Ham High Street. Blowing his bugle (badly) before coming smartly to attention,

Remember the bugle player fondly and the peanut seller who would throw them with great accuracy, you couldn't help watching him to see if he would mess up, but it was the receiver who occasionally dropped a packet to a huge roar.
Remember Ibrox sign on the way out of and bar up the top of the NB. Loved the way you could walk around from the NB to WS, SB under to CR. Spurs trying to take the NB. Man Utd forced on the pitch from the SB and Wall run out the SB within seconds to mention a few.

I often think back to my earliest memories of West Ham, especially over the last couple of years knowing that my own young son will never experience anything similar.
My first game as a season ticket holder after the greatest Christmas present of my life (half season ticket) was the Oldham home game on boxing day in 1990, a 2-0 win, I think Morley hit both....as an 8 year old I remember the family enclosure was just next to the away fans. I also remember the foggy smoke filled bar inside the ground (reminded me of the working mans my dad would take me to - we still go there) and i'd get a hot dog while he had a fag and pint.
I miss it all, but there is nothing I miss more than the walk from Upton Park station to the ground. It might not have been the same East End world that my grandparents new, but it was real life, working class people going about their daily business. An irreplaceable feeling that our club will be chasing to replicate until the new Stratford generations no longer remember.

I also remember the old stadium announcer back then who had a strange way of pronouncing Frank Lampard (senior) - "Frank-er Lampard". Always used to make people chuckle.

I remember the old boy who sold peanuts in the 70s. As DaveT says, "Woasted peanuts!" He had a very accurate throw.
