Real Name: Tony

Sex: M

Location: Redcliffe QLD

Years supported West Ham: since u/9's when they won the fa cup ('75).

Your West Ham experience: haven't made my debut yet

First game: 1990 away to Barnsley lost 1-0 to snap a 20 odd game unbeaten streak.

Visits to Upton Park: been a few times now but been to even more away games...you gotta love the travelling fans, unbeatable atmosphere especially when there were still terraces. I have some camcorder footage of it going mental at an away win at Palace in '91 after the winner went in to make it 3-2..magic

Other West Ham related info: we got kicked out of Stamford Bridge for having stolen tickets that the West Ham football secretary had given us from the player's allocation. A journalist from the Redland Times once made fun of me in a bar after I didn't know the answer to a question about Clive Best so 10 minutes later I blindside tackled him. Had tickets locked in for the '91 cup final only for them to lose in the semi (Keith Hackett was and still is a cunt). Went over for the 2006 final to make amends and we all know how that ended up.

Non West Ham stuff you wanna get off your chest whilst we're at it? : aoli will never fill the shoes of tartare no matter how much it fucking trys.

Years supported West Ham: Born with claret & blue blood but really started following the teams fortunes during the Redknapp era.

Your West Ham experience: none

First game: Can't really remember the 1st Hammers game i saw but DiCanio's winner in the FA Cup to knock out the scum (in 99 i think?) when Barthez stood there appealing for offside is one of the earlier games i remember watching.

Visits to Upton Park: Yet to visit but plan to go in the next few years.

Other West Ham related info: I have the club crest tattooed on my left arm. Dad was born in Dagenham so West Ham runs deep in my blood. Paulo DiCanio and Joe Cole are probably my favourite two Hammer players of all time (current team faves are Deano & Greeno).

Non West Ham stuff you wanna get off your chest whilst we're at it?: I also follow the Swansea results closely due to a friend of mine being a fan.
