Hammers heroes pay their respects

Sir Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Sir Trevor Brooking, Billy Bonds, Frank Lampard, Pat Holland, Phil Parkes, Alan Devonshire, Tony Gale, Alvin Martin, Frank McAvennie - just a few names you can see now in WHUTV recalling their memories of John Lyall.

The glittering array of claret and blue legends gathered at the Boleyn Ground this week to show their appreciation for Lyall, who has been honoured with a Heritage Foundation blue plaque at the front of the stadium. The former Hammers speak at length and reveal fascinating insights from their playing careers.

Log on to WHUTV to hear Tony Cottee putting the questions to the gathered greats, who were all unstinting in their praise for Lyall's standing as a man and his achievements as a manager. There is also the chance to see a special tribute video featuring Julian Dicks and some of the most memorable moments in Lyall's career - not least the 1975 and 1980 FA Cup finals.
