A 100-year-old West Ham fan has been honoured by the club after she was serenaded with a chant from the terraces during the Hammers' 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace last Saturday.
Mabel Arnold has been a season ticket holder at the Boelyn Ground for 82 years and was presented with a commemorative jersey at half time for her commitment and dedication to the London club.
