It was Mark’s day emotionally and the team did everything in their power to send him into retirement with a win that would have been truly remarkable.
It would have been the most fitting of send offs for a man who CandH’s Gonzo wonderfully gave 16 in his ratings on Claretandhugh.
Pep described the Hammers as brilliant and paid a special tribute to Mikey after putting out his strongest team after injuries and saw his team given a right run around in an unbelievable first half where Jarrod demonstrated again that he has to be in the England squad.
