West Ham are in danger of having a back four of headbangers. Fabian Balbuena recently revealed himself to be a fan of punk and heavy metal in the programme's Play List column. He chose a song by Paraguayan nu metal band A tu ladu, two Green Day songs, Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson, Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park and Californicaton by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
When Pablo Zabaleta was interviewed for the same section last season he chose AC/DC's Highway to Hell, Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast and Metallica's excellent cover of Thin Lizzy's Whiskey in the Jar. The Argentine full back even knows that Iron Maiden are a local band and that Stevie Harris is a West Ham fan. While to add to add a bit of punk credibility he also chose a Ramones song.
It's a shame that Zabaleta and Balbuena can't play together under another metal fan, Slaven Bilic. Footballers have come a long way since the days of Lionel Richie.
