Grant’s still warm body attracts Lions

WHILE West Ham were in the process of squandering a 2-0 lead away at Wigan on Sunday, and rubber-stamping their relegation to the Championship, an aircraft flew over the DW Stadium with an unexpected message of support for the Israeli manager.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t Hammers co-owner David Gold saying: ‘Don’t worry Avram, you’ll still have your job in the morning,’ but instead a cheeky rival fan, informing Grant of his new cult status in the blue quarter of south-east London.

‘Avram Grant — Millwall legend,’ read the banner, above, which will probably be the nicest thing he hears anyone call him in a while.
