West Ham (A) 10/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Wilf Wolf]

Remember that game well, played some really good stuff that day and should’ve won by more if Phil Parkes hadn’t been in top form.

Parkes would have been 39 then. An excellent keeper, far better than our namesake was when I saw him at the end of his time at Wolves.

First keeper I ever saw be a real problem for Bully obviously Bully had the last laugh but Parkes was excellent that day.

Wasn’t there as it was the bank holiday Monday I think we were at my grandparents in Devon.

I was. A 0-1 battering, he was ridiculous.

First ever time I saw us lose in person, I cried after (I was only 7 in fairness)

Still the best keeper performance I've seen live. Not sure anyone has come back since and got the reception Kenny Hibbitt got that day, in fact I'm sure they haven't.
