West Ham fans hailed for their ‘tremendous support’

Jack Collison has come out and heaped praise on the West Ham fans for the tremendous support they have shown him.

The Hammers youngster, who showed incredible bravery in playing in Tuesday night's Carling Cup tie against Millwall, less than 48hrs after his father was tragically killed, has appreciated all the support he has received in what is such a difficult time for his family.

It is something that Collison will never forget and he will look to repay the supporters back for their goodwill on the pitch.

"I just want to thank our fans for their tremendous support at what is such a difficult time for me and my family. It was incredible. It is something I will never ever forget and I will be trying my best to repay them on the pitch in all our matches." (WHFC Official Site)
