Former Players Interviews

Hope this is ok to post. Ive recently come across some interviews done by the facebook
group 'Sex, Drugs + Carlton Cole. They have interviewed a few previous players, who give
a real insight on what it was like to play for West Ham. There are some great stories in them
and thought i had to share.

Julian Dicks:


Bobby Zamora:


Matty Etherington:


Carlton Leach (not a player, obviously...)


Jimmy Walker:

  • No problem Tex ;ok

    Mark Ward (very interesting...!):

  • (a lot of bad language)
  • Most excellent ;thumbsup

    Thanks for putting it up Twist.
  • Thanks for posting that Twist.

    Very interesting interview, some hilarious moments in it like the trip to Norway with the pranks... but some sad parts like his decision to get involved in drugs and going to prison, it's sad to me that some of these players end up penniless after playing the game for so long.

    I would like to see Wardy back at the club in some capacity, whether as a coach or scout. He was one of my favorite players growing up.
  • I used to love Wardy - a little terrier
  • No problem all ;thumbsup

    Which one is everyone's fav? I love Julian's passion. His prediction of who should be the manager is an interesting one. (Before Slav was appointed)
  • I'd love to see Frankie's ;wahoo
  • Going by what others have said about Frankie the interview would be longer than a lord of the rings movie ;lol

    From Wombat

    Evening all I have had a bloke buy me a beer tonight, who played against Pele, and George Best. And with Moore, Peters and Hurst.

    ......

    In the past week both Wombat and myself have had a couple of hours each with Alan Stephenson who I last met 60 years ago at junior school in Walthamstow.

    Some really great stories of the sixties and the Bobby Moore era and the West Ham way

    Was a really nice experience, he is such a nice chap.

    He played 116 times in the same West Ham team as Bob.
  • Thanks for posting these I have really enjoyed them, I am surprised they all spoke so openly. A couple of things of note for me were how Lucas Neil comes out really well and how one player mentions Tevez hardly doing anything in training whilst another says he always put it in.

    I hope they will do some more, Frank Mac would obviously be good, Billy Bonds, Alan Dev, Di Canio ad Joe Cole.
  • Frank Macca is the next one! Think they put them up at end of the month ;ok
  • Thanks, Twist ;ok
    Can't wait!
  • No probs, Dee ;ok I'll post it on here when they put the video up ;thumbsup
  • A great centre forward in his time with us ;bowdown

    A true crowd pleaser and a real tryer.

    Oh how football has changed when you think of him and Cottee.

    Wonderful exciting games they were involved in.
  • No doubt a fantastic footballer, Woosie, but a terrible professional. (By that I mean drinking/partying nights before games etc...)

    Will certainly be a very interesting watch ;clap
