HAM
LEGEND IS BORN
Records went tumbling today as became the youngest goalscorer in West Ham history. The youngster was brought on to a raucous welcome from the home crowd and made an immediate impact.
Ghosting in at the far post in the final minute, met a stinging cross with a postcard-perfect scissor kick to put the ball in the back of the net and seal victory in front of a delirious West Ham crowd.
“I can’t believe it, how old is that kid? It’s just… unbelievable!” Tommy D, dad and West Ham fan, 44
“NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT!”
“I’ve been a West Ham fan all my life, and I’m 82 – and when I heard about that youngster on the bench, I said, you watch out, that one’s got talent. And then, just when we needed it the most… best goal I’ve ever seen, and I’m 82. Credit to the manager for the substitution too.” Bobby, 83, lifelong West Ham fan
89TH MINUTE SPECTACULAR!
The game looked to be slipping away from the Hammers after an early lead had been pulled back and the players were beginning to flag. With one substitution left, the manager rolled the dice and brought on new signing, .
had only been scouted earlier in the week via a local news broadcast that had gone viral. With every major global football club expressing interest, stayed true to colours and joined the Hammers.
And thank heavens for that!
MANAGER VINDICATED
If you’d seen what I’ve seen in training, you’d not be surprised about . I’ve been in this game long enough to know talent when I see it. I’ve earnt my badges at every tier of the game. This kid is the real deal. This kid is going all the way. I’m just happy to be a footnote in the history of this kid.
Overall, yeah, we played a good game. They boxed us in. They were always going to. We’re West Ham, we play good football, people are afraid of us, so it was never going to be easy. Still, how VAR has not seen that tackle… But listen, I don’t want to talk about that. Today’s all about the victory and our new signing . Have you ever seen a finish like that? You haven’t. Take a bow, kid!
People will say I took a risk bringing on someone so young. But was ready. And look, 2-1. Job done.
