Son of a gun Lee pleased with senior West Ham call

Ollie Lee was delighted to be in the West Ham squad for their Carling Cup win over Millwall.

Lee, the son of former Newcastle and England star Rob Lee, told WHUTV: "It was nice to get the call and be on the bench and just be around the atmosphere of a West Ham versus Millwall derby.

"It was nice to be involved, even though I didn't get on.

"I had actually gone in and done a weight session and Pete Williams told me that I was in the squad. I didn't even know. The kitman told me to look on the board and I saw my name up there, so I was delighted.

"The manager said that if I got on, I should just do my best. Obviously, I didn't get on, but it was good game and a good result."
