Marco Borriello, the Roma
striker who joined West Ham on loan during the transfer window, has hailed
fellow European Adrian for his goalkeeping heroics that have allowed the
previously leaky Hammers to go more than six hours without a single defensive
breach!
As the side close in on the
Hammers previous 5-game clean sheet record that was achieved by the glorious
Boys of ’86 side, the pressure is mounting, but Adrian stands solid – rather like
the ancient stone wall that he is named after. Already the cool-headed keeper
is eyeing up Edwin Van der Saar’s 2008-9 Premiership record of 1,311 minutes
without conceding and then, the 22 clean sheets season-long record held by Phil
Parkes (1980-81)

Stewart’s parsimonious Uncle Hamish who was so tight that he made a squeaking
noise when he walked
Meanwhile, it’s also happy days
for Hammers previous netminder Jussi Jaaskelainen who, after a stunning and
lengthy career between the sticks, finally has time to devote to his second career
as a car wash attendant.
