West Ham United is not just a football team. It is a community and we are all proud to be part of it. Communities help their own. Earlier today, while I was on the air at LBC I received an email from a West Ham supporting listener, Graham. He wrote…

I clicked on the GoFundMe page and read about what had happened to him.
We are raising funds to help John continue his ongoing health needs and life after hospital. As many of you may know, John was attacked, left in the street for dead. He was attacked for his phone and a little bit of shopping he had nipped out to buy. Had it not have been for a passerby finding him, he wouldn’t be here today. He was taken to hospital where he was transferred to a specialist unit at the Royal London, he was in a coma for 3 weeks, and a result of their care and his spirit, he came out of the coma. However, little did we know then what the extent of his injuries would be – we knew from the doctors if he survived it would be life changing, and it is. He has a severe brain injury, which means he will never be able to work again, nor live on his own. This happened in February 2019, and John has spent the last year in hospitals and rehabilitation. He now needs to have 24 hour care within a care home. When he moves into a home, he will need to furnish , and contribute towards his care needs. None of this will come cheap, so we are fund raising to help him start this new chapter in his life. Any help we can get him will be greatly appreciated, by John and all of us as we help him move on from this nightmare that has changed our life’s forever. Thank you in advance from John and family xx
