Only one Hammer nominated for London football awards
The Hammer is included for the London goalkeeper of the year award. Other nominees are Hugo Lloris, Thibaut Courtois, Alex Smithies and Jordan Archer.
The winners will be announced on March 2nd at Battersea Evolution as part of an evening which has become an increasingly high-profile event in the sporting calendar, with attendees in recent years including Arsene Wenger, Aaron Ramsey, Roy Hodgson, Harry Redknapp, Harry Kane as well as a French man who used to play for West Ham.
The awards, selected by a panel of leading ex-players, football administrators and journalists, raise funds for Willow, the only national charity providing Special Days for seriously ill 16-40-year-olds. Last year, £210,000 was raised.
The charity’s founder is former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson.
