The West Ham United Quiz Book

New Book, raising money for The Willow Foundation Charity.

(PRWEB) January 1, 2006 -- Book Description: Now is the time to find out how much you West Ham United fans really know, but be warned – your brains are sure to take a hammering as you struggle to answer the 1,000 challenging questions in this quiz book, covering every aspect of the team’s history, such as players, managers, opponents, scores, transfers, nationalities and every competition you can think of.

You’ll be arguing with the referee and pleading for extra time as the questions spark recollections and ardent discussions of the legendary greats and nail-biting matches that have shaped the club over the years.

With a fitting foreword by Hammers legend Julian Dicks, and bulging with important facts and figures, this book will entertain as well as educate, but be prepared for a few fouls and yellow cards along the way.

When I joined West Ham United, I didn't know what to expect, John Lyall sold the club to me saying how great it was and how great the supporters are. I remember my first game against Everton and elbowing Trevor Steven, I didn't mean it (honest).I knew I would have a great reputation with the West Ham supporters. In my 11 years at West Ham I can honestly say I enjoyed all of them, but the one game that stands out is when we beat Cambridge at home on the final day winning 2-1, and I set up the winning goal for Clive Allen and getting promotion - that was a great day.West Ham has always had great players but the ones that stand out for me are Liam Brady, Billy Bonds, Alan Devonshire, Phil Parkes, Alvin Martin, Frank McAvennie and Tony Cottee, but if I had to choose one it would be Liam Brady, he was truly magnificent! I was also privileged to play with the younger generation which includes Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Frank Lampard.This book is a must for all West Ham United supporters, it will test your knowledge of West Ham players, past and present and the history of this great club.I would like to thank everyone at West Ham, especially the supporters for my enjoyable 11 years, and I hope you have great fun with this book.
