Alan Devonshire will always be regarded as one of the biggest legends in West Ham United's history and is considered one of the greatest midfielders to have ever put on a claret and blue shirt.
The talented midfielder made 448 appearances for the Hammers scoring 32 goals during his memorable 14-year spell in east London.
Devonshire has many magical memories playing at the Boleyn Ground and says he will never forget the unique atmosphere that was created by the supporters.
Devonshire said: “I remember the atmosphere in the tunnel and it was unbelievable. It used to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The night games at the Boleyn Ground were magnificent occasions.
“Bonzo was great to play alongside and I played with the best keeper I have ever seen in Phil Parkes. He should have got more caps for England.
“The 1985/86 season was one of the standout memories and we came so close to winning the league. If we had not had a backlog of games I am sure we would have won the title. I have spoken to people from Liverpool and Everton and they said we were the best team that season.
“I always had a great rapport with the fans and they are the best for me. They stood with me when I had a knee injury and I had to change my game, but they always got behind me and I will always be thankful for that.”
