How I came to support West Ham

Bobby Moore brought me to West Ham. It's a story with my father; we were watching an England game, can't remember how old I was but can't have been older than 7 or 8, and Bobby stood out, as he always did. I asked my father who the blonde haired player was and he told me Bobby Moore and that he was also the captain of West Ham United. From that moment on I was a West Ham fan and have always been ever since.

My best West Ham memory

1980 FA Cup Final, I was 14 and could appreciate it all the more. My best friend and grandfather were Arsenal fans, which just made it so much more sweeter.

The best West Ham game I’ve ever seen

2006 FA Cup Final, although we lost on penalties it was an amazing game to have watched and we played so we'll against an excellent Liverpool side, with Gerrard being the difference.
