thats great news, fair play to the lad. And fair play to West Ham for taking a punt on him. I hope we are rewarded for West Hams and obviously Terry Dixons persistance.
Hope Spurs rue letting him go
Double Delight for Dixon
http://www.whufc.com/articles/double...236884_1885904
Terry Dixon had double reason to celebrate following West Ham United's 5-2 Barclays Premier Reserve League victory over Stoke City.
Dixon notched his maiden competitive goal for the Hammers before completing his first full 90 minutes for the club at Bishop's Stortford.
The 19-year-old, who is approaching full fitness after working his way back from a long-term knee injury, was understandably pleased with his night's work.
"It was a very good team performance," he told WHUTV. "We played really good football in the first half. We let it slip a bit at the start of the second half but we got it back and killed the game off, really."
While Dixon was happy with his own display, he also praised team-mates Kieron Dyer and Frank Nouble, who scored three goals and provided three assists between them.
It was striker-partner Nouble who laid on Dixon's goal, rolling the ball into his path on the edge of the penalty area.
"Kieron was different class. I hadn't really see him play but he made everybody calm down and play it simple. When you play it simple, the rest comes. We played good football in difficult conditions. When it's like that, you've got to keep it on the floor and keep playing. We had a little four in the middle of the park and we did well.
"I was pleased with my finish. I didn't really look. Frank played a decent ball back and I just cut it across the keeper. Frank played well. He's a big, strong lad and he just pins defenders for fun. I like playing with him. It's good."
Having come through the full game without any ill-effects, Dixon is gunning for more action in next Monday's reserve league fixture at Birmingham City.
After impressing in front of the watching Gianfranco Zola at Woodside Park, Dixon is also targeting a spot in the first-team squad.
"I was thinking that I didn't want Alex to take me off. I wanted to get through the whole 90 minutes and I did so I was chuffed with that.
"There's still a bit of work to do but I'm on the right road."
thats great news, fair play to the lad. And fair play to West Ham for taking a punt on him. I hope we are rewarded for West Hams and obviously Terry Dixons persistance.

When is our next U21 game? He could be ready for that. Although God only knows what would happen if Givens is still in charge!
'And Crouch must score'
Promising news. I cannot remember the last time West Ham had an Irish player in their 1st team?
The reason Spurs let him go was because of the injury he had. Their medical people reckoned his knee wouldn't stand up to the rigours of the premiership.
Always look on the bright side of life
Clive Clarke played there for a while too didn't he?
In the spirit of Irish red-heads at West Ham though, Steve Lomas must be singled out for carrying the, ahem, flame with great distinction.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Fair play to him, long way to go but always good to see players that are written off through injury or for whatever reason have the drive and determination to overcome it. He was a serious prospect a few years ago so hopefully he'll keep making progress.
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Roy Keane is still a pri*k!
Great to hear. At a club like West Ham he's in with a shout of first team football should he keep his fitness and form up.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Apparently theres another young striker at West Ham named Kieran Sadlier who played for the u16s recently.

Hopefully he has a better time with injuries than his namesake

Another 90 minutes for Terry
http://www.whufc.com/articles/birmin...236884_1891206
Strong Irish contingent in the Birmingham side also
Blues: Colin Doyle, Jared Wilson, Giovanny Espinoza, Franck Queudrue, Gregory Vignal, James O'Shea, Damien Johnson (Ashley Sammons 62), Keith Fahey, Lee Carsley, Gary McSheffrey (Robin Shroot 25), Jake Jervis (Omar Bogle 46).
Subs (not used): Jack Butland, Jacob Rowe.
Goals: Jervis (16), Johnson (30).
Booking: Carsley (52)
Looks a very strong Blues side, I don't support the club but have heard of most of the players (ie they are experienced first-teamers, which probably isn't that usual in reserve football nowadays)?
Good to see Jonty back from injury and hopefully Robin Shroot (NI U-21) will push into the first team squad.
(Sorry for the off-topic)
What about Omar Bogle 46? Is he the inventer of that board game?
Thats the best name ive heard since Ger "The Mad Crosser" Crossley.
The Blues would be wise to keep Omar Bogle I believe.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Dixon scored again for West Ham reserves against Conference side Grays Athletic.
