Another brick in the wall

There's a rather touching piece on the BBC website about West Ham fan Jonjo Heuerman, who has 1000 commemorative bricks in his back garden. They were all salvaged from the now-demolished Bobby Moore Stand. The bricks were paid for by Hammers' fans and have the names of their sponsors engraved on them. 

Jonjo, who has previously raised £350k for the Bobby Moore Fund, was looking for items from the Boleyn Ground to auction for charity when the builders, all Arsenal fans, offered to give him the commemorative bricks rather than throw them in a skip. He is now trying to reunite the bricks with their owners and has had much success, including reuniting Jim Fitzpatrick MP with his brick. 

You do wonder if in a hundred years' time fans might be as eager for bits of the London Stadium when it is demolished in favour of a new stadium on Mars. Perhaps I should put my great grandchildren down for a square of claret carpet…
