Autorenporträt
Clyde Best MBE was born in Bermuda in 1951. Described by Ron Greenwood, as 'the best 17 year-old I have ever seen', the centre forward was signed by the West Ham as a teenager and spent eight years at Upton Park. He developed a reputation as a powerful, bustling centre-forward attracting widespread respect for defying the racism endemic in English football at the time. In 186 games for West Ham he scored 47 goals before embarking on a successful playing career in the United States. In the 1990s he worked as a coach, also managing the Bermudan national team. Best was inducted into the Bermuda National Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. He was awarded an MBE in the January 2006 New Year's Honours list for services to football and the community in Bermuda.
