Very sad news from @WestHam today. I just had a conversation with @alibruceball before the news broke in the press lounge. I can only echo his words about the great man Billy Bonds was and if anyone gets the chance to wear the West Ham shirt play like he did. A true club legend.
"He stood for something really important to this football club, and they are going to miss him massively."
@alibruceball paying tribute to West Ham's legendary player and manager Billy Bonds MBE, who has passed away at the age of 79.

When some of my students told me he had signed for Fulham I said wow, let's hope so, need it confirmed! But now it's true, despite the last couple of years, the hard work has paid off for him. Congratulations one of our most recent students, who only did his GCSEs in May/June.

Great work, will let our listeners know about it.
The DSA have worked tirelessly to see the introduction of BSL on the big screens in matchday. Today, we see it finally happening!

Nice and early set up so can get back into the warn areas. Big match for both teams @LondonStadium this afternoon. @WestHam v @CPFC commentary for all visually impaired or blind supporters, by me and one of our young commentators. Good luck H.

Sad news this afternoon, and my thoughts are with the family, his friends, the Academy players he played with, and the club.
It is with deep and profound sadness that West Ham United confirm the tragic passing of our U15s Academy goalkeeper Oscar Fairs, following his brave battle with cancer.
Rest in peace, brave Oscar.
