That would be telling, I had no 8 and swapped for a signed cup winners shirt
That would be telling, I had no 8 and swapped for a signed cup winners shirtWhere did you get it from, was it a players shirt ?
That was Cyrille’s best goal for us, love watching it, so yeh why not??
Not sure who it would need to be at the club and if it's possible at all as I guess they would need a few thousand.
Anybody got any ideas on who would be best to ask?

Who was our number 8, Nick Pickering?
Retiring shirt numbers is up there with one of the things I hate most in sport!
I'm @ccfcado on twitter. To be fair I come up with the idea of bringing out an 86/87 away shirt a while ago after buying the cup final one in the shop but never got rounds to e-mailing the club. Seeing the videos of the 87 quarter final after Cyrille passed reminded me about it. To be honest I find most retro shirts are pretty poor quality or nothing like the original (the puma 87 cup final shirt was bloody awful) but the latest one by Score Draw is pretty good.
Like I say the original idea was just to bring out a replica of that shirt because it is quite iconic and very rare as there was no replicas made at the time but I can see that some people might find making profit out of a retro shirt that Cyrille wore in slightly bad taste this soon after his passing but I was thinking that the club could donate a portion of the profits to one of the charities that Regis supported.
Totally agree. Wasn't advocating it as something I was championing.I definitely think we shouldn't retire the shirt. Bobby Moore was West Ham, greatest English player ever, played over 500 games for them, captain of the world cup winning team. They were right to retire his iconic number 6.
Cyrills heart lied at West Brom and there's nothing wrong with that, but I think any iconic gesture such as shirt number retire needs to come from them, I feel like if we were to do it, then it's just a token gesture. We as a club need to mark his passing, if that's just today or more something like taking part in a pre season tournament with other former clubs, I don't know, but for me, a shirt retirement is too far on this occasion.

George Curtis and Oggy would have been the natural choices I would have thought.
He was. He filmed it after he was wheelchair bound.Was Reeve already in the chair by then? It's a horrible coincidence if not.
Well West Ham have only retired the one, so it's obviously only for very special players and circumstances only.It’s great that people want to pay tribute and ultimate respect to the baggies for the statue. It’s always difficult to work out what is actually fitting tribute to the man but retiring numbers etc can get a little silly as where does it end, oggy, bugsy, Bennett? It could go on for ever
Anyone see the guy selling Cyrille Regis Coventry scarfs for £5 by the steps by the railway bridge?
Thought it was bad taste myself for someone to be selling them but a few people were buying them.
Saw loads of people with them. All grinning and happy.Clearly profiteering , should have been dragged away and beaten
Why-is is a XXXL?I'm pretty sure that shirt used to be mine

Don't like to see anyone profiteering from a tragedy.
I thought very much the sameClearly profiteering , should have been dragged away and beaten
I bought one. I hoped the club would have been able to sell them for charity but I guessed it wouldn't happen otherwise I'd never consider buying from someone who was profiteering from this tragedy. I just wanted to hold the scarf up during the minute's tribute to Cyrille.Anyone see the guy selling Cyrille Regis Coventry scarfs for £5 by the steps by the railway bridge?

One bloke wrapped his daughter up in it and then got her to hold it out at arms length while he took a few photos.utter disgrace, you would think people have more intelligence.

Not a spectacle, more of a celebration of his magnificent 7 years as a true sky blueI don’t know what to say good or bad for obvious reasons, what I will say is that someone’s passing should never be a spectacle
Yes, I know. I mentioned that in this thread that it was some 15 years later.West Ham treated Bobby Moore terribly once he left. He even had to pay too go if he wanted to watch them. They only made a fuss once he had died and retired his shirt years later.
I was a medium in those days :happy:Why-is is a XXXL?
PhillipsWho was our number 8, Nick Pickering?
Thought it was Gynn? Phillips played at right back (2) in the final.Phillips
utter disgrace, you would think people have more intelligence.
I think he is more on about the seller of the scarfs!I bought two. My lad's woken up this morning and put his straight back on. You're going tell me that's disrespectful to a great man's memory? Fuck off.
