West Ham honour club legend Ludek Miklosko with a minute’s applause and lay a shirt down in his memory ahead of Carabao Cup tie – after his death aged 64 after a long battle with cancer
West Ham United paid their respects once again to club legend Ludek Miklosko, following his death on Monday, ahead of their Carabao Cup third-round tie with Fulham on Tuesday night.
Miklosko’s death at the age of 64 was announced on Monday morning after a long battle with cancer.
And in the lead-up to kick-off at an emotional London Stadium on Tuesday, the Championship club came as one to honour their former goalkeeper.
The players, as well as Fulham’s starting XI, observed a minute’s applause in the centre-circle as a picture of the ex-Czechia international adorned the screens inside the ground.
Injured midfielder Tomas Soucek also held a West Ham goalkeeper shirt with Miklosko’s name and No 1 on the back.
Soucek, who hails from Czechia too, held the shirt in one of the goals before laying it to rest behind it and in front of the home supporters.
