Health-hit ‘snapper’ “is welcome”

|

stevebFormer club snapper Steve Bacon has been told he is welcome at any Hammers match when he has recovered from his recent leg amputation.

The famous Irons figure had spoken of his  diabetes-induced health difficulties on social media.

And a club insider said this morning that Steve would be welcome at any future home game and will be accommodated in the disabled section.

He added that the club had tweeted him a “speedy recovery” message when they first heard of his problems.

Steve simply has to ring the club and they will ensure that he’s looked after.

The club had tweeted its best wishes to the former employee when they learned of his difficulties and again sent him a “get well soon ” message via ClaretandHugh.

Those sentiments will be endorsed by the fans for whom Steve became such a popular figure down the years and we too wish him a rapid recovery.
