West Ham United legend Phil Parkes is excited about the club's move to Stratford.

The former goalkeeper is right behind their Olympic stadium switch.

"Having seen the plans, they look absolutely fabulous," said Parkes to whufc.com. "The roof has been extended and it does look amazing. It's a transparent roof, so it's going to let light in and keep the water out. It really does look like a top-class stadium.

"The fact is, with a roof over the top of it, it will bounce the sound back down to the players on the pitch, so it could even generate more noise. It could amplify the noise more, rather than disperse it.

"Looking at the plans, it's going to be a fabulous stadium and a UEFA Category Four stadium as well. There are not many of them around, so it's absolutely superb."
