West Ham’s 34-year-old striker spoke from the heart and thanked all those who stood by him during the difficult hours that he spent. ADVERSE “Every year at this time, they ask me what I am grateful for and every year I struggle to find the right words. But this year, I know exactly what I am grateful for: for being alive. I want to spend some time identifying something I realized – I spent so many years considering life for granted. I made plans for the next day, the next year, always considering tomorrow was guaranteed. I saw close friends leaving life, I saw others experiencing experiences nearing death, and even then, I had not fully understood how precious life is. What I went through recently opened my eyes. CORVERSE Life is fragile and every moment matters. I am so grateful to God that he gave me the strength to continue and that he allowed me to still be here,” said the striker of the “twistles”.

The medical team, the board, all the staff, my teammates and the amazing West Ham fans… I honestly couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To my loved ones who stood by my side in everything, I cannot express how much you mean to me. Finally, throughout the football community thank you for all the love and support you showed me. It really meant everything. I love you all and I am endlessly grateful for each of you. Happy New Year – and soon I will return to the stadium”.
