Soucek brings back memories of Irons greatest son

Yes, I know it’s very early days and I know I’ll take stick for the comparison but Tomas Soucek is starting to bring back memories of  West Ham’s most famous son.

He is a total professional who gets on with what he does brilliantly and makes so few mistakes both on and off the pitch.

He wears a great smile most of the time and like Bob remains impeccably calm  and his interviews are straight to the point and honest – he is not an OTT individual regularly giving it large like so many. Just a regular guy with class.

Everything we have seen from him so far tells us he has become a Hammer to his backbone after a very short space of time.

I think it’s fair to make the comparison with Mooro although Bob will forever be the main man at this club of ours OF COURSE.

The outrage over Tomas’ sending off and the quiet pleading he did when Mike Dean got it so wrong spoke volumes about his character and the fans’ response to him.

I recall when talking to one of the backroom staff soon after he and Jarrod Bowen arrived being told: “Soucek is going to amaze everybody – he will become a big star with us. He’s also one of the nicest blokes you could wish to meet.”

He has three years more minimum with us, was a major face in averting relegation last season and taking us to where we are now.

It’s been a joy watching the man and speaks volumes for me personally that I chose to watch the Czechs in international break whilst barely both bothering with England.

I reckon Mooro is looking down on the man with great approval too!
