Sure was Ron, in one door and out the other!

As you say, that’s how I’ll always remember the old place, great days, great memories.

This is my first memory of going to West Ham in the early 90's with my Dad. Buying the new shirt used to be a special experience as it was only available from the club shop (well portakabin). I'm thinking this must be around 1992/93?

I worked in there a bit as a security guard, in a big purple suit and hat.
Had a ticket office at one end, and party of my job was to stop touts jumping the queue when cup matches went on sale. They were not shy in dishing out death threats to a nervous student in a purple suit, I can tell you.
