I support West Ham. If it's good enough for Ray Winston, it's good enough for me. Reply to this message | Report message

Played and coached locally. Passed away in 1999. Great chap - did some very plucky work with the elbow. Which was his downfall. Reply to this message | Report message

Ronnie Boyce was my nans insurance man, that was his job on the side. He took the FA cup round with him and if you signed up with him, you got a photo holding it. One of my baby cousins was pphotographed sitting in it. Reply to this message | Report message

The cup was on display at my school's garden fate in '64 and I paid a shilling to get my picture taken holding it. They had the Cup Winners Cup there the following year but I missed out on that one. Reply to this message | Report message

Harry Redknapp brought Portsmouth here in 2008, and had 'the cup' with them. (Though I think it was a replica), and were charging silly money to get the pictures. Enough mug-punters were queuing up though... Reply to this message | Report message

Who are all these strangely-named individuals? Something to do with footer? Awful game to play, OK to watch but only occasionally. Not interested in the personalities but I like the spud-faced nipper Wayne Rooney. He goes for it. Reply to this message | Report message

Fascinating biography of James Hunt, with all the 70s shenanigans in F1 as a backstory Reply to this message | Report message
