Chesney Hawkes: Timmy Mallett and the West Ham Firm

Singer-songwriter and lifelong West Ham supporter Chesney Hawkes joins Piers and Jim to celebrate the joy, pain and beautiful nonsense of following the Hammers. Chesney remembers losing 4-0 at Spurs on his first away day, following West Ham home and away throughout the 1980s and performing for 50,000 supporters before the Conference League final in Prague. He also reveals why Matt Le Tissier keeps turning up at his gigs, attempts to build a touring band from former footballers and introduces us to the fearsome West Ham hard man known as The Mallet. Plus, naming a dog after Julian Dicks, forcing your children to support the correct club and the mysterious disappearance of babies called Phil, Nigel and Keith.
