West Ham on BT Sport




Spent yesterday morning being filmed in Ken's Cafe by BT Sport for a forthcoming feature on West Ham's FA Cup run and leaving the Boleyn. They spent a lot of time filming me buying a cup of tea from Carol and walking through the door of Ken's — so perhaps Ken's will end up with the action thriller look. Though they chanced their arm a bit when they asked Carol to turn down the TV when she was doing her knitting. The item also features an interview with Aaron Cresswell and should be going out on Thursday. Also had a good chat with Carol and Ken about the history of their cafe from 1967, including stories about bikers, car crashes and Frank Lampard Senior enjoying bacon butties, which I'll be featuring in Hammers in the Heart soon...

As a Melbourne exile and former match day regular at Ken's, I'd love to see this piece Pete - if there is any chance of posting a link after broadcast for those of us in the Southern hemisphere, it would be much appreciated.

I hope you had the correct change for your programme and Carol gave you ticket number 69 to general sniggering when it was called out..........

They're meant to be sending me a recording so I'll put it up then, Matt. Bet there's nothing like Ken's Cafe Down Under!
