Very sad to hear of the death of former Hammers manager Glenn Roeder who was just 65-years-old. I interviewed Glenn for my book Irons in the Soul. He gave me a lot of time and it was clear he was utterly dedicated to his job. It's often forgotten that he finished seventh in his first season at West Ham in 2001-02, a feat only matched since by Slaven Bilic in 2014-15. It all went wrong in his second season after the Hammers didn't win at home until January, but it has to be said Roeder suffered from injuries to strikers Di Canio and Kouyate and was very unlucky to see West Ham relegated on 42 points. He collapsed with a brain tumour just before the end of that season, but thankfully recovered to have successful spells managing Newcastle and Norwich. But sadly his brain tumour eventually resulted in his premature demise. Glenn, who was a cultured defender with QPR and Newcastle, was a decent man and a fine coach. He will be missed.
