| IN MY DAY (Vol 1) By Tony McDonald Foreword by John Lyall First published in softback by Football World, August 2007 Price: £12.00 Printed in softback, 248 pages, more than 160 pictures  IN MY DAY is a collection of exclusive, riveting interviews with some of the biggest names in West Ham United's history, who recall the extraordinary highs and lows of their time at Upton Park.From long-serving goalkeeping stalwart Ernie Gregory and World Cup-winner Martin Peters to FA Cup hero Ronnie Boyce, legendary skipper Billy Bonds, 80s stars Alan Devonshire, Ray Stewart and Tony Gale, 90s favourites Stuart Slater, John Hartson and Ian Bishop . . . to the Millennium maestro Paolo Di Canio, these and many other former Hammers provide a compelling insight to life both on and off the field at the East London club over the last half century. Their greatest memories and the experiences they would rather forget. Bobby Moore is the greatest-ever Hammer but in another controversial interview you can now read why his former friend and team-mate Harry Redknapp believes the club and English football wasted the greatest talent it ever had. One ex-Hammer tells how he came back from the brink of alcoholism, another admits selling his FA Cup final tickets to a tout and buying a new car with the proceeds! The issue of racism, coping with crowd abuse, punch-ups in the bath, career-ending injuries, the curse of agents and simply playing for the love of the game in the days before money ruled . . .  IN MY DAY takes you back in time to a different world, one largely at odds with the modern game.It¹s all here in this revealing book compiled by EX magazine editor Tony McDonald, who has covered West Ham for the past 20 years during which he became a trusted friend of many of the ex-players featured here.IN MY DAY is a must-read for all football romantics.
