Hi Geoff, very much looking forward to meeting up with you at Blackpool Winter Garden's on Friday 13th September 2024. My Wife's Dad was a footballer for West Ham United in the 1950's, sadly he had his career curt short through an injury he sustained heading the old Casey balls. It caused a blood clot on his brain, which he eventually died from in 1982 after years of battling the effects of the injury. His name is Geoff Hallas (His daughter is Gillian), his Wife Irene remembers Bobby Moore first arriving at West Ham and said he helped paint the stands.... unbelievable. She told me many tales of those days which were fascinating. Of Geoff and her going out with Michael Wilding and Anna Neagle... and of crossing the road when the Krays were walking down the street! - I'm really looking forward to your anecdotes I'm sure you've many, and I'll be cheeky in asking you to sign a cap to dedicate to my Wife (and Geoff's daughter), Gillian xxx
