Lock, Kevin I played for Mountnessing Cricket Club when Kevin ran the Prince of Wales opposite our ground. Drank in there after matches. Kevin always took an interest. In fact, he sponsored the cricket club for a while. I was also at the 1975 Cup final when Kevin played for West Ham. Good bloke.

Lock, Kevin Back in 1975, my brother was allowed to name his new sibling.

He named me after Kevin Lock.

Nothing wrong with it, but I’m glad he didn’t choose Trevor. It would of made life at school tougher!

Lock, Kevin I played with Kevin all through the youth teams and reserves. We played double centre half in a back four as it was back then, so we knew each other well. He moved into first team but I didn't although I still think I could have done! Nice guy and had a good left peg. This is 50 years ago but seems like yesterday. We signed apprentice at the same time then turned professional.

Lock, Kevin When playing for West Ham was a regular at Chris and Petes hairdressers in Barking Rd Plaistow. Kevin signed a West Ham game programme of the winning West Ham FA Cup final for me - lovely guy.

Lock, Kevin Kevin is my uncle. He married my dads' half sister. I remember meeting him for the first time. I was a teenager and thought he was gorgeous. I only ever met him the once but he was very amusing and made me and my late cousin Simone laugh so much. I don't believe he is married to my auntie now.

Lock, Kevin Kevin and I went to the 26th St. Andrews cub group together. We spent a great deal of time in his front garden in Jenkins road, taking it in turns riding my bike round and round. Great times.

Lock, Kevin Cracking player. I have his shinpads from the 1975 6th Round FA Cup game at Highbury. Kevin threw them into the North Bank goal during the 2nd Half. My Dad and I were on the North Bank and after the game finished Dad persuaded Old Bill to allow me onto the pitch to get them. I was 15 at the time, I'm 55 now and i still have them.


Lock, Kevin Kevin is married to my wife's cousin and was my best man at our wedding. My wife lived with them for a short while when she first came here from South Africa. He found out that my wife and his had been using his electric shaver (neither of them have a beard!!). He took great joy in announcing this to the whole wedding party. They did go slightly red to say the least!
