"Daft as a brush" was Bobby Robson's description of former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne.

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola was a magical player but he's finding life a lot harder in the hotseat as his side continue to struggle.

THE KIDS are coming through for Alan Curbishley as he blooded yet another West Ham Academy graduate in the first team.

Saturday’s (March 22) 1-1 draw at Everton saw defender James Tomkins make his senior debut, following in the footsteps of fellow teenagers Jack Collison and Freddie Sears.
