In the mid-60s with no allegiance to any football club as a youngster "Nobby" and his brother were taken by his Dad on Saturday afternoon’s to whatever they felt was the best game taking place in London that day. Like so many before him the first time they stepped into the Boleyn Ground they fell in love with everything about the club. He recalls the Hammers played their football like school boys with no due care, attack, attack, attack was the order of the day, that's just how it was in those days. Proud of the fact that he has seen some of the truly greats to grace the Upton Park pitch, Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters along with the likes of Brian Dear, Billy Bonds and Trevor Brooking. He was also at West Ham when Manchester United won the League title in 1967, beating his beloved Hammers 6-1, it's funny in a way, not many other club supporters can boast after their team has just been beaten so comprehensively that they were proud of them, but West Ham fans can. He has followed the club all over Europe when he was younger and had the money. He recalls one particular friendly in Helsinki took him and his friends two and half days to get there from London, the things we do for our love, West Ham are much more than a football club, to “Nobby” it's his family.

FREEZE FRAME VIDEO PRODUCTIONS (1984)

Born in Barking, Trevor was a schoolboy star and played Schools football with Ilford, represented London and Essex and played for the England Schoolboys. Joined us as an apprentice in July 1965 and quickly emerged as a brilliant prospect. It was May 1966, just prior to watching his heroes Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst help England win the World Cup, that Trevor was signed on as a professional for a career which was to blossom into something special.
Trevor's first team debut, in June 1967, was against the Grasshoppers of Switzerland, and that August he made his League bow against Burnley. Since then he has developed into an international celebrity, admired for his skill and attitude. First capped by England at full level in 1974 against Portugal Trevor has now won 47 caps; won two F.A. Cup winners' medals, in 1975 and 1980; a League Cup runners-up medal in 1981 and a European Cup Winners' Cup medal in 1976. Add to that the "Hammer of the Year" trophy five times; six England Youth caps, an Under-23 cap and a representative honour for the Football Leagye against the Scottish League and you have the trimmings of a glorious career.

Brooking's goal in the 13th minute was just reward for a colossal personal contribution in a contest that saw the Hammers emerge as the more imaginative and resourceful team. Tenacious tackling from young Paul Allen, at 17 the youngest player to appear in a Wembley final, epitomised the combative West Ham spirit. The Gunners were silenced as Arsenal's full-throttle approach faded in the heat leaving the Hammers to live up to their anthem "I'm For Ever Blowing Bubbles".

THE FA CUP SEMI-FINAL - NOTTINGHAM FOREST v. WEST HAM UNITED

WATERSHED PICTURES (1991)

Brian Clough, one of the most colourful and controversial characters in football, has won almost everything this glorious game has to offe, the FA Cup being the only piece of silverware to elude him. He went to Villa Park knowing this - the third FA Cup Semi-Final in four seasons for Forest - was possibly his last chance to add the most coverted trophy of all to his collection.
In the other dugout was Billy Bonds, chasing a Second Division Championship and FA Cup double, only 14 months after being appointed manager. A crowd of 40,000 poured into the stadium on a perfect Sunday afternoon and they were enthralled by a game which was an exhilarating exhibition of open, attacking football played by ywo skillful teams famed for their flair.
The referee's controversial decision to send off Tony Gale for a foul on Gary Crosby after 26 minutes seemed to turn the tie Forest's way but only three minute later George Parris hit the post and the teams went in at the interval with scores still level. However, Cloughie's half-time pep talk worked wonders and Forest turned on the style to hit four in a spellbinding second half. West Ham realised that it was not to be when Stuart Slater smashed a shot against the post.
The day, therefore, belonged to Cloughie and his beloved Nottingham Forest who have won a place in a Wembley FA Cup Final for the first time since 1959.
This video brings you all the trills and spills of a classic Cup encounter between two sparkling sides

INDEPENDENT TELEVISION NEWS Ltd / VIDEO COLLECTION INT. Ltd (1993)

Only one man ever captained England to World Cup glory. Only one man ever graced the no.6 shirt of West Ham United with such style. Only one man ever played football with complete dignity, poise and elegance. His name was Bobby Moore. When Bobby Moore died, the country lost a great hero, but gained a legend. This video is a tribute to that legend. In a glittering career, Bobby won the World Cup, the European Cup-Winners Cup, the FA Cup, and 108 caps for England. More importantly however, he won the adoration of football fans everywhere and the complete respect of those he played with and against. No career has had more highlights and this special video relives them all - including of course that gloorious summer day in 1966 when Bobby fulfilled the dream of an entire nation.
This is the story of a true sporting hero told by those who knew him best - his friends on the field and off. Jimmy Greaves, Alan Ball, Gordon Banks and Alan Mullery are among the stars who pay their tributes. The world will never see another Bobby Moore - but here at least his finest moments are preserved forever.

A TRIBUTE to BOBBY MOORE

VISIONSPORT INTERNATIONAL Ltd (1993)

Farewell to Bobby - West Ham 3 Wolves 1 By John Gubba

Tears flowed and memories flooded back at Upton park yesterday as West Ham legends and fans were united in a final moving tribute to Bobby Moore. Old pals Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters led the ceremony that proceeded the 3-1 win against Wolves when they were joined by Ron Greenwood in carrying out a giant wreath onto the pitch. The 5ft - high tribute, in the shape of the famous No 6 shirt worn by Moore, was placed on the centre spot 25 minutes before kick off. Rival supporters added their own floral contributions and one wolves supporter touchingly held aloft a Hammers scarf in front of Upton Park's biggest crowd of the season. The match, the first at Upton Park since the sad end to Moore's two year fight against cancer, was preceeded with a golden touch of nostalgia. A taped recording was played of moore's finest moment in a Hammers shirt - the day he held aloft the European Cup Winners' Cup at Wembley on 19th May 1965. Then there came a minute's silence with both teams lined up around the centre circle in front of a guard of honour of Hammers old boys. Geoff Hurst said: "It was very emotional - an opportunity for all West Ham fans to pay their respects to Moore. Martin Peters added: "We were pleased to take part in anything in the memory of Bobby. It was heart - wrenching to see what supporters had laid outside". West Ham boss Billy Bonds passionately tried to sum up the mood of the occasion which had reduced even the most hardened of East Enders to tears. Said Bonds: "Last week at Sunderland was emotional but this was special, doing it in front of our own fans. "We would normally have expected a gate of around 16,000 for this game. "So many extra people came to pay their respects. It just shows you the stature of the man and how much he is loved in this area. He's a legend."

EUROPE 2000 : RETURN OF THE ACADEMY 1998-99 Vol 2

VISION NETWORK (1999)

The 1998-99 season has been a breathtaking roller-coaster Premiership ride for Harry Redknapp's Hammers. After a dream start that saw the Hammers climb to second position in the Premiership behind Aston Villa, the nightmare winter months of December and January witnessed an FA Cup exit at the hands of Third Division Swansea and two successive 4-0 home thrashings handed out by Sheffield Wednesday and Arsenal. Down but not out, Redknapp regrouped and with the 7.5 million pounds he posketed for an out-of-form and overweight John Hartson, three superb signings followed: Scott Minto at 1 millions from Benfica, Marc Vivien Foe from French club Lens, and a bargin basement purchase of out-of-favour referee pusher Poalo Di Canio from Sheffield Wednesday for just over a million. The rest of the season has seen West Ham performances splashing their way across the back pages every week, proof that Harry Redknapp is certainly the Hammers' finest manager since the days of John Lyall and Ron Greenwood. He has created a side ready to prove itself at the highest level in European competition for the first time in nearly twenty years. This video shows you how the Academicians of Football thrilled their fans across the world with a vibrant and entertaining brand of football that proved a worthy challenge to Arsenal and Chelsea's long claim to be London's top footballing side

Compered by Sky Sports' popular sports journalist Matthew Lorenzo, the evening gathered virtually every member of the squad to recall vivid memories from twenty years previous. Tony Cottee and Tony Gale, themselves now intrepid reporters for Sky Sports, expertly stage-manage the interviews with the players from the squad as well as some very special guest star Hammer supporters from the world of television and show business. Cottee's partner in the goal avalanche from that season Frank McAvennie recounts moments from 1985-86 to entertain the evening's lucky guests, and dead eye penalty king Ray Stewart adds to the Scottish bonhomie with some dour recollections.

WEST HAM UNITED v. PRESTON NORTH END

The 1964 FA Cup Final is rightly remembered as one of the most dramatic finals ever witnessed. Ron Greenwood's up-and-coming Hammers were hot favourites, but Second Division Preston North End came close to producing another major upset in what has been described as a truly 'titanic battle' beneath the Twin Towers. Forty one years after West Ham United's last FA Cup final appearance in the inaugural 'White Horse' final at Wembley, confidence was high, as they looked to take the famous trophy back to Upton Park for the very first time in their history, with recently voted 'Footballer of the Year' Bobby Moore leading the Hammers' charge for glory. Twice the Hammers came from behind before the winner was eventually struck deep in injury time. John Sissons scored West Ham's first as he latched onto Johnny Byrne's return pass shortly after Preston's opener. Then, Geoff Hurst rose to head home the second equaliser. But it was Ronnie Boyce who sealed the victory when he met Peter Brabrook's cross with great aplomb to send the Hammers' fans into raptures. Take a step-back in time with this specially produced DVD that brings back to life this historic match, which also features the original commentary and post match interviews with Bobby Moore, Ronnie Boyce and Ron Greenwood as they reflect on a momentous victory.
