A trip to England in 2016 with a mate who was born into a West Ham family saw me attend 3 games in 8 nights, including a 2-1 victory against Chelsea in the first ever London derby at the new ground, and I was hooked. Supporting West Ham isn't about glory, it's about the people. As the great Billy Bonds once said: "I've played all around the country, and all around the world, and they're the greatest bunch of fans I know."
