West Ham's goalkeeper David Martin who is 33 years old, made his Premier League debut against Chelsea today and kept a clean sheet. At full-time he collapsed in tears and went to the stands to celebrate with his dad.
I've heard his old man on Talksport for years and he's a proper Hammer and a nice bloke. David's been a solid lower-league keeper for years and I bet he thought he'd never get to wear the first team keeper's top. 3rd choice keeper like how Richard Wright was at City but Fabianski got crocked and his replacement was shockingly bad and he got his chance. It's a brilliant story.
Alvin is a top man. One of my customers I when had my own business. I also have listened to him many times takking about David on talksport. Well deserved start and did well.
Yes, I was. It was definitely 'a moment' when he hugged his dad. It seemed to capture a father and son dream that was years in the making.
My lad played one game for league one club. I gave him a hug at FT. Injury meant he never played another so I had a speck of dust in my eye when I saw this.
