West Ham away under Sven was a great opening day. All the new signings (Elano, Petrov, Bianchi, Bojinov, Garrido) plus a core of youth players (Richards, Onuoha, Johnson, Ireland) made for such a exciting, promising team. A welcome new style of play after the truly dire Pearce era.
That's honestly the first one that came to mind. Everything felt so fresh.

Yes someone should mention that game.Swansea 4-0 on Kun’s debut is worth a mention.

Paul Lakes return, the worst ever cover/miming of Baker Street, parachutes, dancing girls and an Andy Sinton rocket.

Leicester away 1976/77. Drew 2-2.
Roasting day and thousands of excited Blues turned up: Someone even tried to set the embankment alight on the way to the ground!

I was interviewed by Kevin Day for MOTD2 that day. They wanted to do a 'before and after', getting my thoughts before the game, then again at the end but they didn't make it to Upton Park before kick-off.West Ham away under Sven was a great opening day. All the new signings (Elano, Petrov, Bianchi, Bojinov, Garrido) plus a core of youth players (Richards, Onuoha, Johnson, Ireland) made for such a exciting, promising team.

So I had to do two sequences after the game, one where I pretended it was before the game and the other knowing the result. So we started with the before interview, where I looked nervous and talked about a new start and needing loads of new players to bed in, before predicting a draw. Then they moved around so there was a different backdrop, I changed the position of my sunglasses and, two minutes later, we did the after interview.
Great day.
