Hello there. My name is Oliver. This is my blog. I wish I was a rapper. My blog is mostly filled with West Ham United Football Club, my family of a wife and two cats, and music that I like.

Here are some music videos I quite like and some words about them. It's a gimmick.

Here's some music I've been listening to recently. ollib1304's Profile Page

My family got me these two programmes for Christmas. They apparently found them in a charity box outside one of the local shops. They’re incredible, made all the more incredible by the fantastic condition they’re in (the Cup Winners Cup Final 1965 has a damaged spine, but other than they are both perfect). They’re really an incredible snapshot of history, adverts for hot Bovril, Woodbine’s and Double Diamond (‘The Beer Men Drink’), comments from the new head of the F.A., old squad pictures, us being good at football, the lot. Bobby Moore was 6’ and 12st 12lb at the time of the 1964 F.A. Cup Final. Bet you didn’t know that. Oh, and the Cup Winners Cup one pictures the World Cup winning side. All three of them. Fabulous.
I’m hopefully going to find a frame for them soon and put them up somewhere in the house - at the moment they’re safely stowed away in a sealed plastic packet on our bookcase. For the money they must have cost, they’ve sure made me a very happy young man. Think they’re going to be around for a very, very long time. They are, after all, beautiful.
