Born in Cleckheaton on April Fool's Day 1965, Gary Strodder played centre half for West Ham United for four seasons, making 71 starts in total with a further eight appearances as substitute. His two goals were both scored against South Coast opposition, Portsmouth and Bournemouth. He joined in March 1987 from Lincoln City. Sadly, Gary is probably best remembered by West Ham fans for being a member of the team hammered 6-0 in the League Cup Semi Final first leg at Oldham Athletic. This proved to be his penultimate game in the famous Claret and Blue shirt.[1] In addition to West Ham, Gary also played for Notts County, Rotherham, West Brom, Hartlepool and Lincoln City. His greatest moment probably came in helping West Brom to promotion via the playoff final at Wembley in a team managed by Argentinian and Tottenham legend Ossie Ardiles (1993).[2][Categorise: West Ham United]
