St Valentine's Day Massacre

Thanks, if that's the right word, to my pal Nigel for pointing out that it was 30 years ago today that West Ham lost 6-0 away to Oldham in the first leg of a League Cup semi-final. Even worse I was there. The memories are still vivid, that plastic pitch with its crazy bounces, David Kelly up front, Stewart Robson held together by cycling shorts, Phil Parkes looking bemused, the rain, an open terrace and toilets that made those in Trainspotting look genteel. West Ham made Joe Royle's side resemble Real Madrid. All followed by a horrible drive home down the motorway. Nurse, the VAR screens.

Thanks! I'd blanked that from my memory, buried it, if you will, until now...we did win the second leg though, to be fair

Yep, 3-0. Though seven would have been a tall order...
