Fingers crossed, if he gets through pre season he will then start to make it in my 'doodling a team and possible formations during a meeting' thoughts.
If he's still as quick as he was this will mean Upson can be sold and the Project can bank £10 mil to pay off debts that remain from Syd Kings bodacious Jan transfer window in 1926. |

Syd King - Never read much about him the past but bit of a character wasn't he ? 'Arry with a bit of Gary Charles and Marco Boogers thrown in. Bernie
being of the same generation would be able to tell us a thing or two about him..
But for now nicked from various websites.. He was known as Mr West Ham He took us to our current home then known as the Boelyn Castle. A theme at the time was the financial difficulties and the sale of promising youngsters George Hilsdon to Chelsea was a real downer apparently. At Chelsea he went on to play for England Harry Stapely the school teacher who refused to go full time was one of his best signings.. 22 goals in the 1906/07 season He signed Vic Watson for £25! But on the other hand in 1925 sold Puddefoot for £5000 to err Falkirk...record fee but caused riots among the fans, but Syd got a £300 bonus A good win vs Clapton Orient! set the team on the way. many rave reviews in the 'east london echo' for the attractive passing football. FA Cup final in 1923. Was reluctant in the transfer market and relied on young home grown players. He would get the young Ted Fenton to nip to the Boelyn pub and get him to bottles of bass to help pass the afternoon. He was accused of syphoning money away from the club He turned up to a board meetings drunk and insubordinate And then once he got the chop he commited suicide after drinking large amounts of alcohol mixed with a corrosive liquid. And he had the most spiffing of moustaches. RIP Syd King. |

Monk - it's been done. You must've been ill when there was a thread going on Syd King a few months ago?
It was observed that Sid Puddefoot has the exact same number of letters in his christain and surname as Rio Ferdinand, among other eery similarities in the circumstances surrounding their sales. The upshot of it all is that we reckon Harry will top himself sometime around 2011. |

Fair enough I'll get my calipers and be on my way.
Just wait till you see the stuff I got on Charlie Paynter...got his teeth whitened, put slogans around ironworks and got himself the most ostentatious morris minor semi sports two seater at the end of 1930 season. |

When I started watching Mr Paynter still used to sit in the then new East Stand.

The season after the 1923 Cup final The East london echo reported Jimmy Ruffell in a village hall dance pouring bottles of pale ale onto the dance floor,
smelting shillings willy nilly and then getting into fisticuffs after his pocket watch was stolen from a incensed Clapton Orient fan.
