West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted footage of Mark Noble before yesterday’s 1-0 win in the Carabao Cup.
What’s the story?
Well, the video showed Noble talking about an interaction he had with a supporter at Shenfield train station after his penalty miss on Sunday.
The 34-year-old revealed that the fan in question was shaking while talking to him, and informed him about how grateful he was for his loyalty over the years.
Noble admits the exchange of words cheered him up, before offering the man and his family tickets for a game at the London Stadium in the video.
