Aren't there rules as to what length the grass must be cut?

Not on our estate, there wasn't! #JumpersForGoalposts

MunichHammer

Was your estate in the PL, though?

We failed the FA regulations concerning fielding teams of 17 per side!

I didn't have grass to play on, this was my problem...

See, today's Premier League players are spoiled rotten!

Just watching that film of 100 West Ham goals. I was at that Spurs match when as Jimmy Hill said, West Ham played 3 coloured players, Clyde Best, Clive Charles and Ade Coker.
I was wondering what has happened to all three since they played for the Hammers.

What a cracking film, thanks for putting it my way. Biggest differences for me was playing passing football on those terrible pitches; not a single dive or shirt tug; there wasn't much tackling from behind or studs etc (maybe Leeds invented that later); and, sadly, the fantastic atmosphere of Upton Park. And a few legends of course ;bowdown

Clyde Best played for various teams in the USA as well as a brief stint at Feyenoord. After he hung up his boots he went into coaching, managing the Bermudan national team for a bit. He published his autobiography last year but I've still not got around to reading it.

Clive Charles had a few seasons in Cardiff before hopping across the pond, playing alongside Best at Portland Timbers and Los Angeles Lazers. Like Best he also coached at various levels.

Ade Coker also went to the States although he never played in the same teams as his ex-team mates. He won 5 caps and scored 3 goals for the US national team in 1984, not sure what happened after he retired.

This time last season I was hoping for a top scorer with two in his name - that didn't quite work out unfortunately.

Vorselaarhammer
