Q2 - 3-0 TO BARNSLEY Q3 - never seen any and it was the FA Cup right at the end of the miners' strike. We had a home tie with Liverpool as a reward

Never realised it was that far back .cheers .. Gonna have a search to see if that 5 -2 away win v west ham in 87 88 is on camera.. Aye I can't ever remember him .. just checked it after
I went to school with Mike Lester's son, Andy, in Cudworth. The now demolished St Mary's RC Primary that was on Prospect Street. Mike was a lovely bloke.
Hard to believe he is now 63! Also, his wikipedia entry says he is 5ft 4in?? I think they are mixing him up with Billy Ronson!
I have the official, bought from the West Ham shop VIDEO of this match. I was so desperate to see it that I bought it (mail order, no internet purchasing then). It was quite a result and one that the Hammers fans from that era will still be having nightmares about
Mike Lester left for Exeter City during the Summer of 1981. We won 3-0 in the replay played at White Hart Lane. If you mean the 1985 FA Cup 5th Round tie, I've never seen any TV footage. Which isn't unusual, as there weren't always any tv cameras at games, unlike in recent years.
