Bit of a surprise.
Another great article from the online museum, which becomes more important for remembering and retaining our history.

Anyone else notice a certain Terry Hurlock as a sub for the youth team?

Great article (apart from describing the 1975 FA Cup Final as scintillating).

First ever WHU match. As well as the players, a few minor celebrities got involved. Ed Stewpot Stewart came on and played in goal, if I remember correctly.

St Pier arrived at West Ham United from Ilford in April 1929 making his senior debut in October 1929 against Leicester City. Spending most of his time as understudy to Jim Barrett, St Pier managed only 24 appearances for The Hammers before retiring from playing in 1932.[1] St Pier was appointed club chief scout by manager Charlie Paynter and was responsible for the discovery of John Lyall,[2] Bobby Moore,[3] Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters,[4] Pat Holland,[5] Frank Lampard, Paul Brush and Alan Curbishley,[6] amongst others, through his scouting network. Given a testimonial in May 1975, he retired in 1976 after 47 years service to West Ham.[7]

Wally waited outside my Nan and Grandad's house for my old man to come home to get him to come over the hammers.
