Morley welcomes Carroll's return

Morley
Trevor Morley enjoyed a memorable time at West Ham United making 214 appearances and scoring 70 goals during his six-year spell with the east London Club.

Morley became a fans favourite and certainly enjoyed playing against Arsenal where he scored in 2-0 win over the north London Club at Highbury back in April 1994.

The 55-year-old was back at London Stadium this week and is looking forward to seeing Andy Carroll make a first-team return in another big game for the Hammers this weekend....

 

I have been around London Stadium and it is a magnificent venue. There has been some negativity but I can only say positive things.

To come into this amazing arena gives me shivers. The facilities are fantastic and it is a wonderful place to play football.

We used to play in front of 25,000 at Upton Park and I thought that was amazing, but to now have 57,000 West Ham fans at every home game shows how far they have come.

It is a great thing for West Ham to be in this position with a great Stadium. They have a good manager and a good team.

It has not been a great start but they have the quality to turn things around and I can only see positive things in the future.

It is a London derby and the London Stadium will be rocking. West Ham are desperate for points and Arsenal are having a very good season and are playing well.

It will be a tough game but I feel West Ham are turning the corner a little bit in the Premier League and they have got match winners.

With 57,000 people inside the Stadium, the atmosphere will be electric and hopefully they can produce a good performance to get the three points.

I am a big fan of Andy Carroll. He has got his own style of play but he is a 100 per cent committed.

He is a fans favourite and they love to see an old fashioned centre forward.

If you give him the ammunition he could cause a lot of problems for Arsenal and get among the goals with his presence.

It is a blow that Sakho has been ruled out for six weeks but great news to have Andy back in action.

I am now working for Norwegian TV and the people who live there are big Premier League fans.

They are attracting a number of West Ham fans and that is why I have come over to England to do a piece previewing the game and looking around London Stadium.
