Back in the day, it was not uncommon for a certain player to run on the pitch at the Boleyn to be greeted with a chorus of "you're not fit to wear the shirt" within a couple of minutes of taking to the field.

Of course over the years the player's name changed but the sentiment remained the same, wearing the Claret and Blue was an absolute honour and one that a player had to be well and truly proud of!

What is it with West Ham? Past serial offenders in the transfer market, the club look to have finally turned the corner with the appointment of Tim Steidten to oversee transfers, hoping to NEVER repeat the sort of deal that brought 'uncle' Danny Ings to the club in a deal that still sees the Aston Villa board opening each of their meetings with a 'rousing cheer' for the 'operative' who set the deal in motion!
