WEST HAM UNITED CREST ON IT. AND SO HAPPY TO WELCOME BILLY HORSCHEL PITCHSIDE HERE AHEAD OF THE WEST HAM UNITED GAME. BILLY, I HEAR THAT MARK NOBLE WAS TRYING TO GET SOME SWING TIPS FROM YOU YESTERDAY TRAINING WHEN WE SAW YOU. IS THAT TRUE OR NOT? >> HE’S ALWAYS TRYING TO GET SWING TIPS. I THINK HE’S TRYING TO LEARN FROM MY LITTLE BOY, AXEL. WE PLAYED GOLF ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND AND AXEL TOOK SOME SOME POUNDS OFF OF HIM ON THE GOLF COURSE. SO YEAH. SO YEAH, I THINK MARK, HIS GAME HAS GOTTEN REALLY GOOD OVER THE LAST YEAR, BUT HE’S STILL GOT A WAYS TO GO TO. >> GET BETTER. GREAT INFO BY THE WAY. >> IT IS GREAT INFO. AND AXEL IS HOW OLD. >> HE’S SIX. >> EVEN BETTER. JUST QUICKLY FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW BILLY, GIVE US A QUICK REASON WHY WEST HAM. >> IN COLLEGE. BOSTON DVD’S. ONE OF THEM HAPPENED TO BE GREEN STREET AND WATCHED IT SEVEN TIMES IN THREE DAYS AND BECAME A WEST HAM SUPPORTER FROM THEN AND THEN ON, I WANTED TO BE AND BE WITH THE FIRMS AND BE, BE, BE FIGHTING PEOPLE. >> SO LOVE IT. >> WHICH IS AMAZING. AND I KNOW, I KNOW, YOU GET OVER TO ENGLAND AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO WATCH GAMES. WHAT’S THE ONE FIXTURE THAT POPS UP EVERY SUMMER? YOU THINK THAT’S THE GAME I NEED TO GO TO? OH. >> YOU KNOW. I WOULD SAY TOTTENHAM OBVIOUSLY OUR BIGGEST, YOU KNOW, HATED, MOST HATED TEAM. BUT YOU KNOW WHENEVER WE CAN PLAY TOTTENHAM AND I’VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE ONE THERE IN LONDON STADIUM AND WE WON. BUT THAT’S ONE OF THEM. AND I LOVE GOING TO THE AWAY GAMES AS MUCH AS I LOVE GOING TO LONDON STADIUM, I LOVE GOING TO AWAY GAMES. 3,000 SUPPORTERS WATCHING THE GAME ALL TOGETHER, CHEERING YOUR TEAM ON. I MEAN, YOU CAN’T BEAT THAT. >> I SUPPOSE FROM MY POINT OF VIEW AS WELL. THAT QUESTION, A TWO PART QUESTION REALLY ONE IS WHAT GETS YOU THE THE HOOK INTO FOOTBALL AND THAT PASSION. YOU OBVIOUSLY ON THE ROAD A LOT. SO YOU KNOW, KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH IT. AND SECONDLY, DID YOU EVER PLAY YOURSELF. >> YEAH I THINK THE PASSION OF IT COMES FROM THE FANS SEEING THE SUPPORT FROM THE FANS. I LOVE BEING AROUND FANS THAT HAVE THE SAME SORT OF SUPPORT, ENERGY LEVEL. YOU KNOW, THEY LIVE AND DIE BY THEIR TEAM. THEY WANT TO SEE THEIR TEAM DO WELL. SO OBVIOUSLY ALL THE CLUBS HAVE THAT. BUT WEST HAM’S ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL. AND NO, I DIDN’T PLAY SOCCER GROWING UP. MY OLDER BROTHER PLAYED, WHO’S 13 YEARS OLDER THAN ME, AND THEN WHEN MY YOUNGER BROTHER AND I CAME ALONG, WHEN WE ASKED TO PLAY, IT SORT OF WENT IN ONE EAR TO MY DAD AND OUT THE OTHER LIKE IT DIDN’T EVEN HE DIDN’T EVEN HEAR US. SO YEAH, I’VE ALWAYS LOVED IT, BUT IT WAS NEVER A SPORT. I PLAYED ON IN A SORT OF A COMPETITIVE LEVEL IN SCHOOL OR JUST IN RECESS. P BUT NOTHING SORT OF TEAM WISE LEVEL. >> BILLY AXEL TOLD US THAT JARROD BOWEN IS HIS FAVORITE PLAYER. JUST QUICKLY, WHO’S YOURS RIGHT NOW? >> JARED BOWEN FOR US. YES, BONES. GREAT. LISTEN, DEX, A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE, HE’S STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS. HE GOES TO A TEAM WHERE WE CANNOT SUPPORT, BUT HE’S GOT DOWN. I ASKED AXEL TODAY BECAUSE HE WAS NUMBER 2. HE’S NUMBER 4 NOW. DECLAN, IS. IT GOES BOWEN WARD-PROWSE PAQUETTA. OR MAYBE IT’S MAYBE IT’S RICE THEN. PAQUETTA. >> SO YEAH, WELL, I THINK HE REFLECTS A LOT OF WEST HAM FANS, TO BE FAIR. SO LOVELY TO SEE YOU, BILLY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AND WISH.
