Martin in 'dream' Hammers move
Goalkeeper David Martin has described his move to West Ham on a two-year contract from 1st July as "a dream".
The 33-year-old was brought up as a Hammers' fan given that his father Alvin Martin spent 20 years with them as a player between 1976 and 1996.
And, having made just 15 appearances in over two years at local rivals Millwall, Martin has been given an opportunity to resurrect his career in the Premier League at the London Stadium.
You can see the impact the fans can have on the team and it gives you goosebumps. The fans at West Ham are brilliant and it's fantastic to be a part of this great club.

Martin will join fellow new signing Roberto in battling it out for the number one jersey, which is currently held by Lukasz Fabianski, but he is relishing the challenge.
"Signing for West Ham United is a dream, both for me and my family," Martin told whufc.com. "I've grown up around West Ham and to come to my boyhood club is a dream.
"I came to games as a kid as one of the supporters in the stands at the Boleyn Ground. I loved watching my dad play, and I've continued coming to games throughout my career.
"You can see the impact the fans can have on the team and it gives you goosebumps. The fans at West Ham are brilliant and it's fantastic to be a part of this great club.
"I've always been an enthusiastic and positive person - I'll always go into training every day with that attitude to compete with Lukasz and Roberto."
The Irons are available at 5/4 to end up in the top half of the table again next season, with the Londoners 16/1 to finish in the top six.
