The West Ham family is united in support of Ludek Miklosko, who sadly has terminal cancer, but hopefully has a few good years left yet. I've been lucky enough to meet the Big Boy twice. The first time was in 2006 on a trip with Philosophy Football and the British Council where we watched Tony Carr's West Ham kids - including James Tomkins - play against the youngsters of Sparta Prague in a giant communist-era training ground in Prague. Ludo was watching his wife and proved a real gentleman, reminiscing about that Ludo song and Tomas Repka.
The next time was at the Europa Conference League Final in Prague in 2023. Spotting Ludo in the posh seats my pal Denis grabbed him for a selfie or two after the final whistle, as did numerous other Hammers' fans. He was a happy man that night, though strangely seemed to think he didn't come from near Moscow. Here's the photographic evidence of Ludo with some happy Hammers. Best of luck Ludo, you'll always be a legend at West Ham.
