Player Valuation: £80m
I am watching a great eponymous programme on Sky right now.

Five Hammers old boys sitting round a table reminiscing.

Alan Devonshire, Phil Parkes, Billy Bonds, Tony Gale and our own Tony Cottee.

Devonshire is totally unrecognisable as the long haired cavalier who ran rings round us in the 1980 semi final and replay :(

He is balding in the old fashioned way, bare pate surrounded by grey hair instead of going to the wood.

He can't be all that old either.

But I am loving the way they talk about football in the latter decades of the last century.

It is really like they are talking about a different game.

And I can't see today's players sat talking like this twenty or thirty years down the line.

Not a winner between them.
