Hart proud of Hammers fans

West Ham United goalkeeper Joe Hart has heaped praise on the club’s supporters following their 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City on Friday night.

The Hammers have struggled immensely so far this season and find themselves in the relegation zone after a poor start to proceedings.

With Slaven Bilic sacked and David Moyes coming in, there are fears from fans that the club will only sink further down the table after the Scot’s previous managerial record.

Chants of “Sack the board” were heard during the Watford loss, but the Hammers fans were supportive of their team against Leicester, and Joe Hart has praised their loyalty.



Hart told the club’s official website: “I’d like to say a big ‘Thank you’ to the fans as it could have gone one of two ways on Friday night and they chose to stick with us and we have put a performance in.”

“I was stood in goal and didn’t have a lot to do second half and it would have been easy to carry on hammering us, but they were fantastic.

“As good as the players are who we’ve got on our team, when we have their support we play differently. I’m not attaching any blame to the fans, but it meant the world to the players.”
