Eddie Jones the Hammer

Interesting to note that when Stuart Pearce went to watch the England rugby union side train, Aussie gaffer Eddie Jones revealed himself to be a Hammers fan. Jones told the West Ham website: “I used to love Billy Bonds, Trevor Brooking, Frank Lampard – and that claret and light blue jersey I liked. They had those big tough defenders and Brooking was the artist at the front. He always reminded me of Greg Chappell (Aussie cricketer) playing football." When West Ham's next managerial vacancy comes up perhaps Jones should be considered. After all, he likes a tackle and to see penalties converted. And for the ICF members, he knows how to organise a ruck.
