Perer Grotier is 76 today. I was at his debut at Spurs on 19/04/69, it was the game where Bobby Moore and Jimmy Greaves had a little jig. This came at the end of a week when 18 year old Peter played a Youth Team game an 'A' team game and 2 Reserve games. Peter played 54 First Team West Ham games βοΈ

@EXHammers *please share* West Ham United - The Alan Pardew Years - Part 8 - You Don't Know What You're Doing - Oct-Nov 2004. Pardew can't get the combination right. One win in five is not good enough. something has to change.

Two goals from Johnny Byrne helped @WestHam to a 4-2 victory over @SunderlandAFC at Roker Park #OnThisDay in 1966. Further #WHUFC goals were scored by @TheGeoffHurst and Martin Peters #OTD
John's cracking goal v Liverpool at the South Bank end in 1968-69 brings back happy memories.

Your enemy is not traveling by small boat, they are traveling by private jet.
Shambolic first half all round. Kilman as weak as p*** as per. All Bowen has done is pass the ball back to a defender four or five times.
Great pro and natural leader. After his late winner to beat Villa - a pen at the South Bank end - in the QF of our 1980 winning FA Cup run, Ray said it was the day he felt he was accepted by fans and became a 'Jockney'.

Ludek Miklosko famously denied Manchester United in 1995, but he also played out of his skin against them in April 1992. West Ham won 1-0, and four days later Leeds secured the title.
Pick of his saves? This incredible stop from Mark Hughes.
RIP Ludo. A thorn in Man Utdβs side.

I KNOW WHO I WANT TO BE REPRESENTED BY
One man gleefully drools over Β£72million in donations whilst having another Β£5million tucked away in his back pocket.
The other (despite who knows what security concerns) rums a half marathon to raise funds for a homeless charity.
To think, all Ludo cost was Β£300k from Banik Ostrava. Lou Macari pulled off one of the club's greatest ever deals right there - even though our manager went AWOL on the day Ludo made his debut at Swindon. He must have wondered what he'd let himself in for but it turned out great.
Let's be honest, to get promoted we only need to continue playing less crappier than most of the other crappy teams in this crap league.
That's all it requires.
