He's doing a decent job over there apparently. I was talking about him to Mark Robson the other week and he said Konchesky, like himself, are proper West Ham men to living the dream.
Robson was called by Jonnie Jackson to join our coaching staff last year but had recently taken his role at West Ham. Any other club and he'd had left to join us - but he was delighted to be working for his Hammers so decided to stay where he was
I do remember him goading us at West Ham after they had just scored against us at Upton Park, I think in our relegation season….
I also recall us singing “Britney, what’s the score?!” to him after we beat them 4-0 in the home game. (She was going through her skinhead phase around that time)
All of those moments were a long time ago however and he has always spoke highly of us since, so he’s fine by me and I hope he has a lovely day on Saturday watching the Addicks romp to victory. 👍🏻

I remember him giving it to us when they scored. He hadnt even been getting any stick from the away fans! Was funny when he had to be substituted after being run ragged in the 4 nil win. But guess he had the last laugh! Long time ago and no hard feelings. Nice to see former players back at the club.
Remember him grinning and laughing at us during to 6 goal drubbing by Leeds at The Valley.
Still his transfer to Leeds after Prem relegation helped us build the side that took us back the following season.
Danny Mills. Both didn’t have much hair at the time in your defence
I thought Mills was very subdue and respectful when he played us. He didn't celebrate his goal in his first game against us at The Valley, and this was before that was the done thing. He had every right too with the stick we were giving him. In fact his attitude annoyed me even more!
Think I remember him kissing the spurs badge whilst he was on loan with them 😂. Hilarious.
Always liked him for us though and nice to see him still with an interest in the club. Carved out a bloody good career, caps for England, played for Liverpool and scored in an Fa Cup final.

Konchesky, along with Brown and Kishishev would be in my 25 man squad of players since I started going in '76.
