Incredible attendance for a Youth Cup game.
@craigconlon Yes it was. It was a sell out that day(they didn't plan there would be so many people, so opened up the east stand and marched fans around the pitch to accomodate them). About 25,000 or so fans, the maximum at the Boleyn at the time.
Newton went onto have a successful career in the lower leagues with Peterborough/Luton etc after just 2 games for West Ham. Roeder didnt fancy him and Sinclair had his position sewn up so he was moved on, loaned out several times till the Peterborough move in 2002/08.
Hey Munday! Haven't you got the classic moment when Joe Cole loops the ball over 2 players and then does 'the scarf' (kicks the ball behind his standing leg)?...Or did I skip past it?
Hi, have you full match complete? Thanks

Kirkland in goal, damn this is old, I never understood why west ham always sell their best youngster b4 putting them on longer contracts.. never works for them...
