jamiemaher85 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Really shocking story. A the best to him and his family. Looks like West Ham could have lost two players in the space of a couple of days to very unfortunate circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
