About me

I was born in Romford in 1985, and grew up living in Hornchurch in Essex. I lived in Hornchurch until 1998 before moving to Skegness in Lincolnshire where I lived until 2006 when I moved to a town called Keynsham which is halfway between Bath and Bristol. I got married to my wife Sarah in Cyprus in 2012 and am a proud father to 3 boys, first came Jack in 2010 followed by Joshua in 2014 then finally Jacob in 2017. In 2013 I moved back to Skegness. My eldest Jack is a mad West Ham fan like myself and I'm hoping the other two will follow suit. :) I have followed West Ham for as long as I can remember and still get the buzz watching the mighty irons.

How I came to support West Ham

I grew up in Hornchurch in Essex so naturally it made sense for West Ham to be my team, also helped along by the fact that my Grandad was already a big fan and I grew up watching the Irons regularly on TV when I visited him.

My best West Ham memory

Definitely when we got promoted back to the Premier League in 2012. I was out in Cyprus getting married the same week we beat Blackpool to go back up through the play offs. What a day, what a week. Something I'll never forget!!

The best West Ham game I’ve ever seen

West Ham 5-4 Bradford City 1999-2000 season. We were 2-4 down at half time then super Paolo took over in the second half and the rest is history. ⚒️
