West Ham Online

Interview with Clyde Best in the Grauniad promoting a film made about him. Might interest some of the oldies on here.

Lovely quote about Sir Bobby: “A person like Bobby Moore, if you didn’t know him, you would have never known he was captain of England. The Lord gave us one of the best human beings that could be on Earth because he would do anything for anybody.”

Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story is showing for a week at Sadler’s Wells East from 25 March

The old man still talks fondly of Best when he used to watch him regularly. Always comes across well and genuine with a strong connection to West Ham after all these years.

1 thing I didn't realise until now was how young he was starting out in the game playing for us till around 25 before leaving. I'd imagined he would have been here from the age of 25 onwards.
