okay I know we had this done before, but I want to know if anyone else has heard that Kiera Knightley supports WEST HAM UNITED! Have to love it when the Hotties support your club.
http://www.usatoday.com/community/chat_03/2003-04-11-bendit.htm http://www.theorlandobloomfiles.com/newsjuly03.shtml (scroll down to July 21st) Influenced by Orlando Bloom? So, Bloom is a WHU support too.
I don't know about Orlando Bloom, but he must be cool and if he's hanging with Kiera, then he's really cool.
that reknowned pizza freak from connecticut is a hammer... eddie something or other seriously i'd love to play on keira's upton park
Saw Pirates of the Caribbean, and damn if Kiera didn't have the best performance by a Hammer in recent memory.
Gentlemen, While this news is obviously very exciting, let's wait and see what her attitude is when we are in division two.
This fact alone makes West Ham a better club than all the rest. The odd chance of meeting Keira...freaking hell. I'd self-combust.
Why this Yank is a West Ham Supporter A few years ago I started following the EPL. I started rooting for West Ham because it's Billy Bragg's favorite club. Besides, I'd been wearing Doc Martens since high school. Then I learned Clive Charles of the former Portland [Oregon - my hometown] Timbers of the North American Soccer League startd his professional career with West Ham. That was it. I started cheering on the Hammers during matches via satellite at the local English pub. Charles, who died last year of cancer, was beloved in Portland's soccer community. He is the only person to have a number retired at PGE Park (sight of the 2003 Womens World Cup semi & quarter-finals). Of course, the EPL is gone (at least for now) and my Doc Martens jersey is dated, but my life will not be complete without seeing a match at Upton Park. Chatting music & politics with Billy and catching a glimpse of Kiera would be icing on the cake.
Eric, Welcome to the board. Pething posted a little something about Clive Charles when he passed away: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69081 I hope you stick around. You'll like it.
Re: Why this Yank is a West Ham Supporter Do you mean Billy Bragg or Billy Blagg? Is Billy Blagg a play on Billy Bragg?
This is Billy Bragg: This is Billy Blagg (no photo available Personal Info Hometown: West Ham Age: Not displayed Occupation: Corset Fitter E-mail: billyblagg@hotmail.com Interests Interests not listed Fan Page Born at an early age a mere defenders spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Pushed over the wall at Wembley by a rich uncle, Blagg was on the touchline for the White Horse final of 1923 and was fortunate enough to have been given leave from the Russian front in 1943 to see the Hammers lift the Wartime Cup at the same stadium. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenhome in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned again for the 1975 and 1980 FA Cup victories. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and forty two children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session. His hobbies are walking his Shetland pony and riding a one-wheeled bike round the walls of his shed. He can often be found on his allotment wearing his famous claret and blue woolly bobble hat (knitted by his Nan in 1921)and whistling songs from 'Van der Graff Generator's' second album. He should not be approached by small children and ladies wearing thigh boots.
Thanks - this clears up the murkiness greatly. I am familiar with the effervescent (as in giving off bubbles) blogger Billy Blagg (Soccernet.com fan correspondant also present in many other web forums). Just wasn't sure if he was the originator of the moniker he goes by or if he was carrying on the mantle of another fan legend. I think I even heard that there are some commemorative artifacts relating to Billy Blagg in some West Ham-centric pubs in the US (particularly one in Florida). Some occupation.
Re: Why this Yank is a West Ham Supporter Glad to have you here Eric. Clive was a class act, and I think the greatest thing he did was push Keller, Cherundolo and Casey to play in Europe. That was ballsy but they made the grade. As for your Doc Martens shirt - none of us want to have a Jobserve shirt.
Re: Re: Why this Yank is a West Ham Supporter uh...I bought one. I also have 2 doc martens and my famous Iron Maiden jersey. Keira is just effing hot! She did a lot for me in BLB and in Pirates, ex dragged me to Love Actually (aka Love Sexually) and she was alright there. Doesn't this make you proud, the hottest English chic is a Hammer! BTW, I did manage to add WH logos on a few of Keira's pics. Email me at jconstantn@yahoo.com
Re: Re: Re: Why this Yank is a West Ham Supporter I am proud. Still the Jobserve logo is kind of sucky.
Thanks, etcheverrito! Our man Jorge (etcheverrito) made these brilliant pix of our favorite West Ham supporter, Keira! Awesome job, etch!
