The news that Eidur Gudjohnsen chose to sign for arch-rivals Tottenham rather than West Ham must have struck hard at the hearts of most Hammer's supporters. Not because the club have lost out on a player they appparently flew over; one who had completed a medical and was expected to sign and boost West Ham's squad as the transfer window draws to a close. No, rather it puts an end to the 'Gud to Hammers' story that has been going on for well over two seasons now. To finally end the speculation as the player signs for another Premier club is going to cause a lot of heartache as we now have to find another player to be continually linked with for another couple of fruitless years. Perhaps the Benni McCarthy rumour will rumble on as we were linked with him before he originally signed for Blackburn.
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
