My grandad passed away in 1976 in his 50's, but lovely to see he is still in some fans memories. Thank you.

Perhaps he, like others have left us, Who remembers Steve Ford against Stan Mattews? How about Bunny Rabbit Parsons. A great player , uncapped was inside left from west country. I do apolgise for name, was it Gerry something. He left West Ham, but where is He now? A west Ham fan from 1947. Average age for team those days was over forty. Billy Robinson, Yeomanson Dicky Walker. I often remember being in the ground before they left Bolyen Pub. TWTD's. Yes, where is Ernie, a great goalie , I first saw him when a boy.

I was at Plaistow Grammar School from 1952/57. I started to go to see West Ham at the same time as you. I can remember chasing Terry Woodgate along Prince Regent Lane to get his autograph.....I used to collect them and had hundreds from all different clubs. The players at that time used to make approx 7 pounds a week during the season and 6 pounds during the off season...hard to imagine!!! Best wishes, John Cooper Michael:

I was a school boy in Oxford in the same era, playing in goals for the school team. It was a photo in a Sunday paper of an airborn Ernie Gregory (complete with flat cap I seem to recall!) tipping a shot round the post, which started my now 50 year plus term as a Hammers fan.
