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 โ๏ธ

@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.

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 Utdโs side.

I KNOW WHO I WANT TO BE REPRESENTED BY
One man gleefully drools over ยฃ72million in donations whilst having another ยฃ5million 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.

The London Challenge Cup was a 'Reserve' team cup.
West Ham reserves played in the Football Combination and there were some big West Ham names in this line-up, including FA Cup Winners Eddie Bovington and Pat Holland and ECWC Winner Brian Dear โ๏ธ

Another late goal conceded. Another lead thrown away.
West Ham have dropped 19 points from winning positions in 34 league games under Nuno, conceding 16 goals from the 80th minute onwards.
Today was another example. Sit deep, invite pressure, concede.
The pattern is clear.

David Cross, Phil Parkes, Tony Gale, Alan Devonshire and Billy Bonds. Nearly 2,300 First Team appearances between these West Ham Legends. What a 5-a-side team in their prime ๐โ๏ธ

West Ham won the Football League War Cup on this day 1940. Sam Small scored the only goal as we beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at Wembley. Although there was a threat of German air raids, 42,300 were there for a 6.30pm kick-off, including many evacuated from Dunkirk days earlier โ๏ธ
