Hammers fan Mike Law first visited the Boleyn Ground in October 1946, a matter of months after the Second World War had ended.
And he'll be at the London Olympic Stadium with family this weekend to celebrate the 80th anniversary of that visit!
You may read Mike's story here: kumb.com/article.php?id=4445…
* Do you know of someone else who has been a WHUFC supporter as long as Mike? Perhaps your great grandfather has similar tales to tell? Let us know below!
One of KUMB's members had his trailer stolen from Canning Town in the early hours of the morning. It's a new business they recently started.
It's pretty easy to spot - if you see it, please let us or the owner know. His Insta details may be seen below. TIA for any assistance.
Sad to see @pistol147 a shadow of his former self in Belfast this afternoon at the Northern Ireland Open - Mark's first outing since losing to Wu Yize in a semi-final tiebreaker at the World Championships back in April.
Clearly far from his best, he suggested in the wake of his 4-2 defeat to Jordan Brown that it might've been his last ever game. I hope that's not the case.
@pistol147 has responded.

A statement on yesterday…..
Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.
I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast
I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour
I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself
I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..
My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days
I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while
Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend
I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead
Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey
Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too
Thank you all x

Apologies for breaking away from the football this afternoon. Upsetting to see someone - anyone - in this state, let alone being thrust in front of TV cameras to explain themselves.
@rachelcasey11 had no idea this was coming from @pistol147, full credit to her for handling this interview with compassion.
