West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has spoken of Ravel Morrison's failure to make it at Upton Park.

Morrison has been palmed off to Cardiff City on-loan this season.

Allardyce told the Telegraph: "Ravel's upbringing certainly had an impact on his football life.

"Then again, there are people who've had that sort of upbringing who fight their way out of that like Incey [Paul Ince] here. He's got that inner drive to succeed."
