The naming of the East Stand and a fabulous win over Newcastle were very special but there was an even better day during the course of last week.
Winning football matches is of crucial importance but former Liverpool boss Bill Shankly was wrong when he once said it is not a matter of life and death.
If you want any assurance on that ask Isla Caton and her family after the wonderfully brave little Hammer was last week declared cancer free after a battle in which so many fans have taken part through find raising efforts.
Thousands of pounds have been raised – not only by them but by fans across the world – and when the news was announced nobody but her parents could explain the joy and relief they felt.
It was one of those moments when keeping the faith was so wonderfully rewarded and a day in a lifetime to remember.
Mark Noble has been at the forefront of the campaign for months and he said:
Her parents tweeted the news late last week, saying: “We have just received the most amazing news – we can confirm that Isla’s treatment has worked and she is now completely cancer-free and in remission.
“We are completely overwhelmed and cannot thank you enough for the continuous support throughout Isla’s journey.”
Great news & hopefully you live a long & healthy life Isla & get to enjoy many great West Ham moments along the way too!!
