West Ham United boss Avram Grant hailed the courage of Scott Parker in victory over Wigan Athletic.
Parker played despite suffering the effects of a chest infection and Grant hailed the all-action midfielder.
"Scott was great. He has all the good old fashioned character about the English game," Grant said.
"He always gives it 100%, he was sick but came in and wanted to push to play, and scored a fantastic goal.
"He did unbelievable things today and is the modern midfield player - wins balls, blocks shots, scoring goals, giving assists. What more can you say?"
