West Ham United have released a statement this morning.
Liverpool head to the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to finally bring some positivity back into the dressing room after a torrid run of form.
The Reds suffered their ninth loss in twelve games in mid-week, as they were ripped apart by a PSV team that in most cases, wouldn’t have seen the back of the net.
Pressure is mounting on Arne Slot and he must start getting it right, and today’s game would be a great place to start.
However, on a more sombre note, West Ham United have confirmed today that one of their all-time greats has sadly passed away this morning.
Billy Bonds played a record-breaking 799 times for the Hammers across a 21-year career with the club that saw him captain the club to two FA Cup triumphs and a Second Division title.
There is a stand at the London Stadium named after him and was presented with the Club’s first ever Lifetime Achievement award in 2013.
The club have announced that there will be tributes carried out ahead of the Liverpool game later today.
The statement reads:
“A period of appreciation to honour Billy will be held before kick-off at today’s Premier League home fixture v Liverpool and a full tribute will take place at our next home fixture against Aston Villa on Sunday 14th December.”
“Further tributes will also appear across club channels in the coming days.”
