West Ham United women's team's Official Programme for Sunday's Barclays Women's Super League fixture at home to Aston Villa is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
With a bespoke front cover, highlighting the pink ribbon and Breast Cancer Now's tagline 'Touch, Look, Check', the Official Programme contains an interview with lifelong Hammer Siobhan McKeon, who was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in April 2016. It has since spread to her brain, and sadly she will never be cured of her condition.
In 2020, she was surprised by former women's team captain Gilly Flaherty, who delivered a Breast Cancer Now pink shirt, signed by former men’s striker Michail Antonio. We caught up with her five years on, as she openly talks about her personal battle, having gone through nine-and-a-half years of chemotherapy, and also her passion for West Ham United - and how she refuses to let her diagnosis get in the way of watching the Club she loves.
Also inside the issue is an interview with deadline-day signing Anna Csiki, who joined on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur. The midfielder discusses how she is settling in to life in east London, her earliest memories of football, including potential alternative careers in tennis, handball and horse riding, and her dogged attitude that has helped her achieve so much in her career so far.
Moreover, next in our 'Irons Icons' series is our former captain Stacey Little. A lifelong West Ham fan, Little talks us through her journey to playing in Claret and Blue, scoring in a cup final with the Club she loves and how she once played with a broken wrist away at Preston North End!
We also hear from manager Rehanne Skinner and captain Katrina Gorry ahead of the game against Villa, and analyse the players to watch from Sunday's opposition.
