Unbelievably Andy Ritchie is 65 today. Started his career at Manchester United and shone in Joe Royle’s brilliant Oldham side of the late 80s, early 90s. No one wanted to play on the plastic at Boundary Park.

Happy birthday to Frank McAvennie. Back in 1985 strikes meant no football on TV. As a result West Ham’s new star, summer signing was completely unrecognisable to the club’s fans. 🎥 @sid_lambert 👏🏻
