West Ham great Ray Stewart visits St Andrews preseason training

West Ham great Ray Stewart has enjoyed seeing the squad doing preseason at St Andrews in Scotland.

The former Scotland international won the FA Cup with the Hammers in 1980, was part of the famous Boys of '86 team which achieved the Club's highest-ever league position of third, and scored an incredible 76 penalties across a 432-game, 12-year career in Claret & Blue.

“It's a great trip down memory lane for me," he told whufc.com. "To come here and see the two clubs, with my young son Mark, has been great.

“It's always nice to see West Ham up here in sunny Scotland, and it's great for my lad too, seeing the young boys coming through and what they're about.

David Moyes has been fantastic, inviting me here and making me feel so welcome.

“He reminds me of the great manager John Lyall. John was fantastic for West Ham United and David is too.

“He makes everyone feel welcome and involved, it doesn't matter who you are, and that reminds me of the old days.

“The Club is in safe hands and it's going in the right direction, that's for sure. We had Europe last year and we've got Europe again next year, and we've picked up big time over the last couple of years."
