Why are West Ham in their away kit?

FA Cup rules. In both the FA Cup matches against Fulham in 1967, we wore all white and Fulham wore all red

Yes. A terrible ref. Bryson got a double shiner but Tyson gave a free kick to Huddersfield

Strange how you remember the ref more for his (mis) handling,rather than the game itself.
Some of his decisions that day were straight out of the twilight zone.

The most inept refereeing display i have ever witnessed,the man had clearly taken leave of his senses,and dont get me started on Keiran O`Regan,the little ****

A fabulous place! I worked there in the late '70's. It catered to every 'cult' - mods, rockers, hippies etc. The only trouble was usually on Thurdsays when the 'ten bob millionaires' had got paid, donned their five quid suits and came down to 'have a laugh at the weirdos'. Wapentake then Limit (or Improvisions on Sunday). Happy days.

Third rate Bucc. Frequented by those who found the Bucc a bit too wuff and weddy.

The Buccaneer shut in August 1973, downstairs was the Castaway's Bar... plastic glasses, loud rock music, drugs...

Can't quite make it out but wonder if it's Olga's name over the door.

Heard a story that Trust House Forte (who owned the Grosvenor Hotel) were concerned about the Wap's reputation and the image it portrayed to it's hotel guests. They considered closing it until they looked at its financial figures. It remained open.

At Christmas, there was usually a 'do' upstairs in the Grosvenor for its and the Wap's staff. We were treated like shit - put on tables on the very edge of proceedings etc. The General Manager of the hotel back then was a guy called Malik, a bloke for whom the word 'oleaginous' could have been coined. The staff and customers at the Wap were generally rough and ready but basically decent.

Olga was the licensee at the Wap
