Hammers send hugely emotional big screen message

|

Obviously there was much joy at seeing the Hammers return to much better form against Wolves today but Andriy Yarmolenko’s . with his family still apparently back in Ukrania , is really of much greater importance.

And the above image of the Irons feelings on the matter – which was seen on the London Stadium’s big screen – was very welcome indeed.

Much has been said about Yarmo on the pitch but this is not the place to discuss it. All our thoughts at Claretandhugh and I’m sure with the fans are with him and his loved ones in this incredibly difficult  time.

It was also very emotional to see the Hammers warming up in kits with the midfielder’s name across the back and his particular shirt being carried onto the pitch by captain Declan Rice ahead of kick off.

The who scenario put football very much in perspective – he and every one of his countrymen and women  has all our respect and emotional support.
