Former Irons Tony Gale and Leroy Rosenior have applauded the ClaretandHugh followers who made Aaron Cresswell our Iron of the Year.
‘Galey’ was the first to react eclaring: “You have a very wise readership. He’s the obvious choice. He’s had a brilliant season, I can’t speak highly enough of him.
“There’s been the odd moment but to play as many games as he has done in his first Premier League season tells you a lot about him. The best is yet to come and for the money we paid (£3.5 million) it was a fantastic deal.
He’s knocking on the England door and it’s not his fault there are so many decent left sided defenders around at the minute. I think he’ll make it anyway and my Iron of the Year by a country mile.
Leroy has been equally impressed saying: Even though I was a striker and would like to have given it to Sakho, Cressie has been superb. A very worthy winner.”
And Tony Cottee made it three out of three for Cressie saying: “Only serious contender – he’s been fantastic.”
With the best will in the World I’d hardly call Leroy Rosenior or Tony Gale legends – anyway forget that – well done Aaron Cresswell.
He’s had a brilliant First Season, a couple of b&lls-ups, but generally a marvellous Season – it proves that there’s talent in the Championship waiting to step up!
….I did read yesterday that Chelsea were sniffing round him – Agent talk probably but let’s hope we can hang on to him!
Fair play to the lad,he had a great first season in the Prem.Well deserved.Guess we cant have a Young Hammer of the Year poll,we havnt seen any 😉
Let’s hope he gets his head down now and builds on the great start,
His agent needs to wait before he starts demanding more or he moves to a club where he warms the bench like Rodwell and destroys his career,
Well done Cressie great first season,
BFS OUT
Well tbh i voted for Sakho,but that was purely because i hate to think where we would be in the league without his goals.But Cresswell deserves it for sure.
well i have been told i speak the most sense when it comes to west ham 😀
