Academy Forfeits & Smashing Arsenal In The FA Youth Cup Final | Kevin Keen | Iron Cast Podcast

#westham #premierleague #podcast
This week on Iron Cast, we are joined by former West Ham midfielder Kevin Keen, who spent a decade at the club.
He has since gone on to take caretaker charge of the Irons on two occasions and is currently employed by the club as Under-18s coach.
Kev talks us through the current academy forfeits, losing all his kit when West Ham won promotion in 1993 and the moment he knew Mark Noble would make it as a pro.

The likes of Keen and Potts are underappreciated, proper West Ham

[@michaelliverpool4408]

[@garyrutter3163]

Great listen. Could listen to keen all day

[@helenludlow2331]

Glad that he is part of the background staff and looking after the youngsters ⚒⚽

[@benmiller2696]

Best one so far.. I was also in the early years of my journey as a West Ham fan in the 92/93 season 👏👏

[@stevenspraggs4953]

what a fantastic interview kevin keen is such a humble guy and doing a amazing job thank you kevin keep up the great work thanks for all you are doing at our grat club steve

[@AdamNicholsMusic]

So glad our youth arent forced to play the same style as our First Team. Can't wait for Moyes to go.

[@EmpyrealEnvy]

Such a top bloke and so dependable whatever the position.

[@topsecret6995]

Used to love watching this guy play

[@dermottelliot9634]

Great interview! Thanks!!

[@DarylSaunders737]

Top man, Top player.⚒

[@MyShowbizName]

What a great watch! Seems like a wonderful man to learn under. Doing a magnificent job over recent years. I hope he's right that 4-5 of the FA Youth Cup winners could go on to make it at West Ham.

[@andrewwickstead3802]

What he is doing now as a coach is so special….. I hope we keep him because I am sure he could easily go onto bigger and better things not just at club level but sure he would be brilliant in the international setup

[@neilfreeman5824]

Absolute gentleman. Came out of his shell when Liam Brady left in my opinion.

[@markcross125]

Now thats a proper West Ham Legend,no if's or but's,LEGEND,this is what West Ham is all about

[@eavyeavy2864]

no really got no concept of reality

[@eavyeavy2864]

Live in past

[@chrisab66]

Loved this and also the one with Mark Ward. Any chance of putting all the Iron Cast podcasts on You Tube (if you had cameras of course) as being quite deaf I tend to also lipread which I can't do if its listen only!

[@domcadmangotch]

I sure hope you're wrong about the current academy lads Kev, I sure hope it's not gonna be another year or 18 months until we see some of them break into the first team because I believe and I know that A LOT of my fellow hammers believe that quite a few of them deserve a shot in the first team NOW Certainly Mubama, Marshall, Scarles, Earthy, Kodua and Hegyi to name but a few Honestly, I really cannot understand why Moyes isn't or hasn't I'm sure he's aware how well the 18s did last season winning the double, I'm sure he watched a lot of the games even so he obviously knows how good they are and he also obviously knows how much some of our current first team forwards are struggling like Ings, Cornet and Antonio so why doesn't he take a chance on some of the players who did so well last season?! Honestly, Divin especially will be wondering what else he's gotta do to get a chance! He's gotta be so careful cuz if he doesn't give em game time, they'll be off just like Ngakia, Perkins, Holland, Ashby etc and these ones are wayyyyy too good to lose so come on David, PLEASE!!!! The sooner you listen to the fans and you realise that you don't need to splash the cash on a new striker in January because what you need is right under your nose, the better 🙏🙏🙏

[@markyboy7012]

Let’s not forget Keen he’s been a No.2 to a fair few good managers. He was at Liverpool & has coached under Steve Clark. He’s no fool.

[@ralphenjoyingthesun4233]

Kev keen please Coach our team now till the end of the season you were.mustard. ! Cant stand Moyes ball any longer .. I remember 86 going to so many away games in london that year loved it

[@johnwarr9416]

[@noone-qg1od]
