I was 9 years old and when i questioned my father as to why he never took me to the den his reply was " you are too middle class son you will be happier here." How right he was!!!!

Good decision. I remember Liam Brady. He was a touch player so finely balanced you only had to breathe on him to throw him off. Superb player. Your all time Hammers is spot on & i think European qualification is a real proposition next year. We are on the up, brick by brick.
