He probably scored one of the most important goals in recent history besides our truimph in Europe always thankful to Vaz te COYI

[@troyperkins8158]

Loved Vaz Te for the hammers - also scored a great diving header in the top flight for us against Man Utd and the overhead kick versus Man City. Brilliant signing by Big Sam

[@gilly2bad]

Vaz Te is a Hammer's Legend. 🤩

[@scottjones835]

Absolutely loved this! Such a humble and driven guy, his goal will forever live on amongst west ham fans. Very articulate in explanations, gives a complete different view regarding from a ballers aspect. Great great interview, and a great great guy. Well done. Vaz te leg end!! Love you ginge x

[@waseembutt8614]

What a great interview and discussion - Vaz Te will always be a legend for that goal he scored but to hear his story how he got there and subsequent issues to maintain that level was amazing - super bloke COYI ⚒

[@domcadmangotch]

This guy is not talked about enough, THAT goal is not talked about enough, that season isn't talked about enough! I mean seriously, that goal literally set the foundations for our current success! If you're not in the Premier League, you can't be in Europe and this man put us back in the Premier League so all West Ham fans should be forever grateful to this man and what he did for us! Proper modern legend, what a fantastic player and inspiration! We love you Ricardo and we will never forget you! 👏👏👏😁

Can we please get Sam on this podcast one day?! The stories he'd be able to tell us, the truths he'd be able to tell us, the honesty he'd give us would just be SO good and I believe it would be the best episode yet so Chris, Ginge please can you do your best to get Big Sam Allardyce on one day?! I know I can't be the only one who would love to see that #COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️

His English, Vaz Té, is articulate and intelligent

[@HDGAMER8462]

Vaz Te, what a player on his day. Shamed it had to end this way for him but i give him the upmost respect because of that goal in 2012.

Great interview, great guy. Probably one of my favourite interviews ⚒⚒⚒

Such a humble guy and his 10 goals that season were so vital. Gutted how it ended for him but always a legend COYI

[@Blunders1000]

"It might just be Carlton Cole....... VAZ TEEEEEEEE!!!!"🎉

[@brianorakpohit]

I was there, like all the Play Off finals. Went Embankment before and after the game. I wasn't as nervous for Blackpool. I just thought, with respect, if we don't beat this lot we don't effin deserve the top flight.

[@chairmanalf7856]

I was there as well, I also felt the same at the Preston play-off final. However, I was at Cardiff for the Palace play-off final, but didn’t really feel as confident for that match.

[@rcertac45]

Akhisar legend

[@Woody_29bby_cyi]

No way VAZ TEY!😅⚒️⚒️⚒️

[@danked6731]

such a putty about his shoulder injury Also I can't believe how long it's been 14 years, Jesus it feels like yesterday.

[@ashleymaunder7679]

Antonio's injuries now we know, one leg shorter then the other leg from his knee injuries

[@riddley39]

Was delivering for Asda home shopping and walked into a posh building one day and saw him sitting on a sofa in the lobby. I looked at him and said “yo what’s up bro you should come spurs” looked at me as if to say fuck off mate 😂👌

[@noone-qg1od]

Moyes out now

[@WGK90]
