WHEN Billy Bonds took over from Lou Macari at West Ham in 1990, I couldn't have been happier.
For a season-and-a-half, I loved my football under Bill.
But when Harry Redknapp came in, that all changed.
Harry came in as Bill's No.2 at the start of the 1992/93 season and, from the moment he arrived, I never got on with him.
I had signed a contract, which intentionally took me right through to the end of my testimonial season.
But certain individuals didn't want me in the side without a doubt and, let's just say, I don't think it was Billy.
We were playing Luton in an FA Cup replay and I travelled with the team to Kenilworth Road, but didn't even make the bench.
