    I always enjoyed watching Devonshire, and I'll never forget the famous cross in the 1980 Cup Final. Such a genuine guy.

    Even my young kids chant Alan Alan Devonshire. I love how humble Dev is. I hardly missed any of his games, even for England. No Huge signing on fee, no (fancy) car (s), no greedy agent. Just a lovely bloke who absolutely loved playing football. Kicked all over the place, never complained, just wanted to play. Privilege and an honour to have seen him play. Cheers Dev!

    My footballing hero as a kid. Whenever I pulled on my West Ham shirt, when I was scoring a goal or taking a player on, in my mind I was 'Devo' or Sir Trev. Were it not for the injury I know he'd have gone on to establish himself in the England team. Was a buzz, like electricity in the air, when he got on the ball. Incredibly skilful and such a joy to watch. Enjoy watching his Maidenhead team when I can...they're doing extremely well this season and have a chance of getting in the Football League for the first time. Hope they do so. Nice to see Devo bringing academy players through there too.

    One of the greatest players in West Ham's history........ and most certainly the best signing!

    First saw Dev playing for Southall and when he joined WHU I was sceptical😂 how wrong was I?
    Definitely in my top 3 Hammer of all time and fully deserves being a legend amongst irons fans⚒⚒

    Outstanding player. He was pure class even with a dodgy knee!

    What a player and what a lovely man. Glad I still bump into him on occasions. All he says is a echo of my views on present day. Stay safe Alan.

    Only just discovered the site. Been a WH fan since early 60’s. A brilliant interview. Thank you. Many great memories and a great team Dev.

    Best left foot I've ever seen at West Ham. You could hear the ground lift and get more excited when he got the ball.

    My favourite player ever. Had the white kit that Dev scored against Chelsea in (0-4), with number six on the back when I was 10 years old. Quality player. Love the channel. Especially with the ex-players picks.

    Dev should have played more for England dev great player dev and brooking together class. Today's players should watch old games pitches tackles work rate and love of the game they might learn something thanks for the memories top man Alan Devonshire

    Another great show Russ ... I Love listening to Dev. I've watched Canning Town Len's film a good few times now and Dev shines out in that and this as a nice guy as well as a great player. @The thing about Trevor Brooking is, you know what he's he's going to do but you can't stop him doing it... lol ... Classic.

    a genius of a player, he glided over the worst pitches and my only criticism is he was too unselfish. in today's game with the protection players get, he'd be unplayable and worth £100m+
