Tony Adams here, very much giving off “antiques expert who helps one of the teams on Bargain Hunt make £1.50 profit on a candlestick holder” energy.

Just over 50 years ago at west ham tube station the IRA planned a trio of attacks on the London underground.
A terrorist launched his bomb from one end of the carriage to the other after it started smoking. The plan was for it to go off further up the line as back then west ham station was a rarely used station. It exploded, ripped the carriage apart injuring many innocent people going about their day.
The bomber Vincent Donnelly jumped from the damaged train, gun in hand to escape to be confronted by the brave train driver Mr Joseph Stephen aka Julius. In the struggle Julius was sadly shot and killed in his attempt to stop further harm coming to others.
Another brave man Peter Chalk was also shot trying to apprehend the terrorist, fortunately he survived.
Donnelly fired at police who cornered him nearby before shouting "fuck you English bastards" and shooting himself in the chest. Sadly he survived and was given five life sentences but appallingly was released after serving just 20 years under the good Friday agreement.
Joseph Stephen a true hero . A man who kissed his wife goodbye and his 4 year old son to go to work and never came home . He undoubtedly saved many lives that day.
When you pass through West Ham station in future give his memorial plaque a read and perhaps give a salute of recognition to Julius ♥️

@E20WHU I reckon if he takes that hat off he’ll look like my thumb.

@OscroftOfficial @Mrjamieohara1 In fairness to Igor, he didn’t slap any teenage boy in the face as he walked down the tunnel after that defeat last night.😀

@Notwokenow That’s gut wrenching to watch. Some people are unbelievable.

Every football club on earth exists because of this island. 🇬🇧
Kings banned it. The richest schools in England claimed it. They wrote the rules and locked the gates.
Then the working class stole it back.
In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act. Work stopped at two on a Saturday. Working men had free time. And they chose football.
Churches formed clubs to keep men out of pubs: Aston Villa, Bolton, Everton.
Factories formed teams from their own workers: West Ham from the Thames Ironworks, Arsenal from a munitions factory.
The FA Cup Final. Blackburn Olympic: weavers, spinners, a plumber. They beat the Old Etonians 2-1. No private school team ever reached the final again.
Then British workers carried it everywhere they went ⚽🌍
Scottish miners in Spain founded its oldest club. A Nottingham lace trader gave Juventus their black and white stripes.
A butcher's son from the same city founded AC Milan. British railway workers in Uruguay named their team after Stephenson's Rocket.
Cornish miners founded Mexico's first football club. A schoolteacher from Kent taught the game to his students in Argentina. His school produced Lionel Messi.
A boy from Southampton brought two footballs to Brazil. They call him the father of Brazilian football.
Real Madrid are said to wear white because of an English amateur team.
From Lancashire cotton mills to every continent on earth.
Three and a half billion people watch football. The most popular sport ever created. And it was created here. By the British people.
Every Saturday, three o'clock. That kickoff time exists because of the Factory Act of 1850. The moment working men were given an afternoon off.
They chose football. And the world followed.
No owners. No sponsors. Just supporters.
