“I was born and raised in Atlanta, and to have the team here in my city is just unreal. West Ham really is massive - people have come to support the team from so many different places, and none of us will ever forget this.”
Cartter Crosland, Chairperson of the Chattanooga Irons in Tennessee, added: “We travelled from about two hours away, so not too far, but we couldn’t miss out on coming here tonight.
“It was a brilliant occasion, and way more of a personal experience than I thought it was going to be. Getting to actually spend time and have conversations with Graham Potter, Anton Ferdinand and Jack Collison was unbelievable, and I loved hearing about their experiences here in the USA.
“West Ham will always be special to me and my family. Me and my fiancée actually got engaged at the Olympic Park, outside London Stadium, so I’ll always have such a special bond with the Club. Come on You Irons!”
