The 26 year old West Ham midfielder arrived at the lakes on Saturday(3) at 6am. Due to an injury he was unable to play in his club’s successful 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the English Barclaycard Premiership.

Chris Logsdon, manager of Mid Kent Fisheries, said: “Although Lee couldn’t play for his club on Saturday due to an injury he listened to the game on the radio and he thoroughly enjoyed his time at the fisheries.”

The star appearance at Chilham followed a crucial game for the Hammers at the weekend, with the club fighting relegation in the premiership.

Despite the club’s important win over Chelsea, West Ham is not out of the danger zone and now has to out-perform Bolton points-wise on the last day of the season to retain its place in the premiership.

This means winning or drawing the final game against Birmingham City on Sunday(11).
