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:

Him ripping Reo-Joker ;lol
They are great interviews Twist, thanks for putting them up.
They have just put a new one up... Alvin Martin:
Cheers Twist.
Out back in Romford one night , great
Mark Ward (very interesting...!):
Thanks for putting it up 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.
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)
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.
I hope they will do some more, Frank Mac would obviously be good, Billy Bonds, Alan Dev, Di Canio ad Joe Cole.
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.
Will certainly be a very interesting watch ;clap
Didn't affect his play too much.
It's his performance on the pitch that was outstanding.
George Best , Bobby, Gazza and a few others all enjoyed a drink too, some to excess as we are aware.
Maybe if someone had taken him under their wing he would have been OK, we will never know.
At least he should be remembered for getting us to our highest league position. ;scarf
Great player for us, does anyone also remembering him appearing on the Wogan show, and it was a big thing back then! ;wahoo
