Former West Ham, QPR and Czech Republic goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko has died at the age of 64.

Miklosko made almost 400 appearances for the Hammers from 1990 to 1998 and was much loved by supporters, who regularly sang his name long after he left the club.

He later returned as a goalkeeping coach.

    At one point he made 162 consecutive appearances for West Ham and that run was only stopped as a result of being sent off. You simply don't get to do that unless you are good at your job. Another victim of that dreadful disease. 

    RIP

    Very sad. Another top keeper taken a couple of weeks after Pompey's Alan Knight.

    Very sad to be taken so young.

    He was a VERY popular player with the West Ham supporters.

    Sleep well Sir.

    RIP to Ludo and also Knight who died on the 1st September from Prostate cancer.
    Alan played a staggering 683 times for Pompey over 22 years and Ludek played 608 league apps with 318 being for  West ham over 8 years.

    2 big strong keepers who died too young in their 60's because of the big C.

    Those of us who are still here because our cancer was caught early enough and it didn't move on to stage 4, remain humble and grateful for our extra time.
