About soleyj

First Game

West Ham v Bristol City 20 March 1991
Score 1-0 to West Ham United
Competition League Division Two
Venue Upton Park
Attendance 22,951

Best Game

The 1992 European Cup final on 20 May 1992 at Wembley Stadium, London, between Sampdoria of Italy and Barcelona of Spain. Barcelona won the game 1�0 after extra time, thanks to a Ronald Koeman free kick, Just turned up with my mate and bought tickets in the Barcelona end, which was awesome.

Worst Game

The 2005 final played in front of a crowd of 72,523. After a goalless first half, Crystal Palace took the lead with a goal from Neil Shipperley in the 62nd minute. West Ham twice had goals ruled out for offside and were denied a penalty late in the second half, and Palace held on to win 1�0. The drive home from Cardiff was awful

Portman Road, Ipswich Town. Old style ground with great support before and during games

The Abbey Stadium, Cambridge United. Confusing ground, which is hard to navigate and feels like the crystal maze walking around with a random pitch shape
