First and Last - Reece Oxford



As West Ham United's final season at the Boleyn Ground draws to a close, we’ve asked our players for some memorable lasts from their careers and lives, as well as some firsts. Reece Oxford goes under the spotlight…
 
FIRSTS

What was the first CD you bought?

The first CD I bought was probably Drake – 'Sooner than Later'. He has had so many songs that I don't actually remember the time I bought it but it must have been a few years ago.

Tell us about the first goal you scored for West Ham United?

It was for the Under-13s. I was playing as a striker back then and I scored a scrappy goal against Charlton. I got moved about a bit that year and played up front for half the season.

Who would be the first teammate you would call up for a quiz?

If we are talking about intelligence I would have to say Joey O'Brien as he knows his stuff.

Who would be the first person you would vote off the X Factor and why?

Cheikhou Kouyate. He is not a good singer but he might actually get through because he is very funny.
LASTS

What was the last concert you went to?

I went to see Stormzy, who is a rap artist.

Who is the last teammate you would want to be stuck in a lift with?

I would have to say Elliot Lee. He would just moan and moan and would drive me crazy.

Who is the last player you would take fashion advice from?

I would not take any fashion advice from Angelo Ogbonna. I am more tight-fitted and he is more baggy-fitted!

What is the last book you read?

Rio Ferdinand's autobiography. I really enjoyed it because it was about his life in football and all his ups and downs. He used to be a striker and then moved to centre-half so I can relate to him a lot and of course we both come through the Academy at West Ham so I would love to follow in his footsteps.
