How I came to support West Ham
I came from east end stock but was bought up in Belfast, travelling over during my teens to watch Boxing Day fixtures during the seventies- including a 1-0 home defeat to Orient, and Alan Curbishley scoring against Birmingham. When I moved over in 1980 I became a regular at Upton Park and followed the team up and down the country. My season ticket loyalty has fluctuated in recent years but still a Hammer through and through
My best West Ham memory
Three - the two leg league cup semi final v Coventry in 1981 (I attended both), the 8-1 win against Newcastle in 1986 (UP was rocking), and the FA Cup semi final loss to Villa (Billy Bonds Claret and Blue Army)
