Enner Valencia appreciates the way West Ham United fans have embraced him.
The Ecuador striker is in his first season in England.
"It's completely different in Ecuador and Mexico. A lot tougher!" he told the Mail on Sunday.
"You lose a game and you've got to be careful when you're leaving the stadium in case some nutter jumps out at you. Here, on the other hand, if you lose a game, the fans are still there asking if you'll sign a programme and that's something really nice about English football. They're a lot more friendly. The culture is completely different here."
