Former Hammer saves Colchester

Posted by Sean Whetstone on May 3, 2015 in Whispers

georgeFormer Hammers Academy graduate George Moncur has saved Colchester United from relegation from League One this afternoon by scoring the only goal in the 82nd minute against Preston North End.

In order to avoid relegation into League Two, Colchester needed to better the results of both Notts County and Crawley Town, both a point ahead of them.

Son of former Hammer John Moncur, George signed for the U’s for an undisclosed fee in November last year.Colchester converted the 21-year-old’s loan deal into a permanent move, and he signed a contract with them until 2017.

A youth team player with West Ham, Moncur signed his first professional contract with the Hammers in September 2010. He played youth and reserve team football and made his first team debut for West Ham on 28 August 2012 against Crewe in the League Cup coming on as an 84th minute substitute for Kevin Nolan.

    Well done Georgie boy, the ‘ol man like us will be proud of you, I only watched the game to see you play, perhaps you should of took the pen you won as well, the win also pushed Barry Hearnes big club OS rivals Orient down to league 2 as well, been a good year for relegation this season, Orient join Wigan and Millwall in going down

      Sadly, I think Hearne destroyed the generally amiable feelings that most of our fans had for the O’s. Like you, I see nothing but silver linings over the fate of Orient, Wigan and Millwall. Hopefully, Charlton will be next to join them and Sheffield Utd will miss out in the play-offs.
