Perhaps the strangest trend on social media yesterday was a bizarre call for Mark Noble to made prime minister under the hashtag of #MarkNobleforPrimeMinister
Seeing the funny side of viral internet campaign on Twitter the injured West Ham captain replied by saying “Why not?”
The club joined the fun by publishing a photo of the skipper outside number 1o Downing Street saying “2012 Hammer of the Year, 2014 Hammer of the Year, 2019 Prime Minister?”
Before the game on Saturday Noble “Although I’m not playing, I will be at Brighton to support the lads. I’ll make it clear to them that if they think they can go there tomorrow, put their foot on the ball and have a look around, they’re in for a shock.”
The 32-year-old remains out with a calf injury but is due to resume training again next week at Rush Green so might need to put his political ambitions on hold.
Forget the UK – our need for Mark is much greater …
