    Pretty sure Best got a double hat trick that day, and the score was 8-2? He'd just come back from suspension that day too.

    Christ, I'm old.

    Was that the game where he only touched the ball with one foot? Think that was Northampton.

    I've never actually seen this footage before.

    Prescious little footy on the telly back then, and we only had black n white until 1972

    Saw him play a couple of times. He was amazing. Naturally two footed, incredible close control, phenomenal balance - he could send a defender sprawling with just a body swerve.

    And all that in the days when most pitches were little more than ploughed fields and the likes of Harris, Hunter, Smith, etc were all trying to cripple him any chance they got.

    At least 3 Chelsea players have done a dying swan impression.
    West Ham resemble a football team 6 matches a season...against Chelsea Arsenal and Spurs.
    Can't see them keeping this up for the next hour though

    Just text a Chelsea fan mate of mine that there's no way Wham hold a 1-0

    West Ham actually look like a team again. Moyes doing well tbf.

    Can't see them winning this though but great effort, again.

    Everton should have gone for Moyes rather than Fat Sam

    If they were willing to let Rooney back there's #noexcuse for not letting Moyes back
