Jim was that the one when Leroy chinned their centre back after getting some verbals from him and just walked straight off not even waiting for the red, I think this result also sent Chelsea down?

Liverpool ‘90-‘91
I’d gone up to London from home in Somerset for a university interview, and stayed up for the night with a mate who’d already moved.
It must have been a Monday night game.
The tube was packed and the favoured song was “You’ll Never Walk Again”. I must admit I was shitting it.
The game was sold out.
We watched it on the portable tv behind the counter of the burger van at the gates, and frequently a chorus of “Can you hear us on the box?” would strike up.
We were all over them, Grobbelaar had a blinder and it finished 0-0.
My interview was unsuccessful.

That Romford ground used to be the Romford Bombers speedway track I think. When it fell into disrepair we used to climb to the top of the floodlights, seemed like a mile high. Fucking swaying everywhere in the wind.

I was 9 years old and taken by my dad, West Ham vs Wolves, 2nd May 1988
Last game of the season, we won 4-1. Supported them before having left the hospital at 2 days old in a claret and blue baby grow but that game there was when the love affair was cemented and long may it continue.

First game was a friendly against Rainham Town around 1983, too young to remember it but I’m told a young youth player called Tony Cottee scored a hat-trick.
First league game against Liverpool in 1987, finished 1-1, Cottee scoring our goal.

Pre season friendly also, Romford v West Ham at the Brooklands Stadium. 1975, grew up in Romford so was only a walk down. Draw I think.
Can’t remember much about the first UP game but would have been shortly after and we lost, got a lift with mate and his dad in his Jaguar XJ6. Didn’t see many of them in Romford at that time. Remember the smell of the hot dogs and linament near the west side stands.

First game was a preaseaon friendly before the 02/03 season against some foreign team. Cannot for the life of me remember who it was though. I keep thinking of Roma, but not sure.

That was part of an incredible sequence Cyprus;
we beat Tranmere 6-0 in the league cup, then your Leicester game 6-2 followed by Birmingham 3-0 then Burnley 5-3 away. a few weeks after my 3-0 vs Boro we beat Wolves 5-2.
Great times

32 years ago today v Bradford city. I can still remember the bright lights reflecting off the dazzling green pristine pitch.
When I got back to my nans in Becontree after she asked me how it was I replied “it was the best night of my life”

1969-70 at WHL with a Spurs supporting mate, both 12 years old. A 2-0 win for the mighty Hammers. Hurst and Peters scored, Moore was imperious, Greaves missed a penalty and a young Trevor Brooking was looking good in midfield. Happy days!
