Jeff Powell's biography of Bobby Moore tells the story of Brian Clough approaching Bobby in the summer of 1973, Moore wanted to sign for Derby and although Clough got his verbal agreement Ron Greenwood and West Ham denied him the move. Apparently Derby bid £400,000 for a joint Bobby Moore and Trevor Booking deal.

It's 50 years this month since I first went to the Baseball Ground and I remember the Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane being played repeatedly on the tannoy system. Every time I hear either of those songs it takes me straight back to standing in the 'Boy' s Corner' and being totally enthralled by attending my first Ram's game. 

I think the game I most enjoyed was the record attendance game two years later in September 1969 when we beat Spurs 5-0. It was unbelievable that a newly promoted club could do that.
