Former hero’s Snodgrass joy

Robert Snodgrass has been tipped to become a huge Hammers favourite by countryman and former Irons hero Ray Stewart.

Snodgrass has become the latest Scot to follow in the likes of John Dick, Frank McAvennie ,Christian Dailly and Ray – a member of he Hammers’ 1980 FA Cup-winning side.

And  speaking to www. whuc.com Ray – who made 432 appearances for the Hammers said: “I’m sure he will be a great success. He is a playmaker and a goalscorer, but he works hard for the good of the team, and that is a winning combination for West Ham fans.

“I’m so pleased he has ended up at West Ham. He is signing for a wonderful club, with wonderful supporters, and he will hopefully enjoy the prime years of his career with us.

“I was only a young boy when I came down, and I also carried a fairly big price tag, but if you’ve got confidence in your ability then you don’t think about that. You just think about working hard and showing what you can do.

“Robert will want to do that, and I’d really love him to become a favourite among the fans. I know how special that feeling is, and I still have that bond now.”
