Jimmy Bullard on West Ham

Former footballer and Soccer AM  presenter Jimmy Bullard says he has never been so excited at a start of a season as this season as a West Ham fan.

Speaking on Instagram Jimmy said “We didn’t play as good as we have been [against Aston Villa], but I’m really excited. I haven’t been this excited as a West Ham fan, you know what we’ve been like. I like the boy up front (Sebastien Haller) really, really good. Anderson has been on fire. I like the way we look, I’m so excited.”

East Ham born Jimmy Bullard played youth football at West Ham United before moving to Gravesend & Northfleet in 1998. He returned to West Ham in 1999 for a fee of £30,000 but never managed to break through to the first team leaving on a free transfer in 2001.
