West Ham United defender Jordan Spence has paid tribute to Hammers academy chief Tony Carr.

Spence is currently away on-loan at Scunthorpe and told whufc.com: "It's hard not to remember the things he tells you, they got drilled into us every single day. I think it is just the good habits and the good grounding, getting taught to play football the right way.

"We get a good grounding and we get taught by someone whose track record speaks for itself. That development and now with the management staff at the club, the opportunity is there. It's something that's helped and will continue to help us."
