How long have you been a Hammer? My grandad has been a hammer his whole life, since the 1950s but I only really started being properly invested when he passed away in 2020. I have been completely obsessed since. Coincidentally, my boyfriend is also from a West Ham family. Where we're from in Dublin, that is extremely rare so for us to end up together is some kind of fate!


What is your first memory of West Ham United? When I was a child and would always hear my grandad say at the end of every season 'maybe next year we'll win.' He always had hope even during the toughest of times! He passed away at the beginning of our Europa League run and never got to see us properly shine but I'll always remember him saying 'maybe next year'.


What is your favourite memory? When me and my boyfriend travelled over for Mark Noble's last game at London Stadium. It was incredible to be involved. We try to travel over whenever we can but this match will always stick out!


Favourite player, past or present? Past - Mark Noble. My grandad loved him and called him 'proper West Ham'. Current - Jarrod Bowen. Definitely our future captain!
