Who wears the Gloves at Upton Park


Today we look at the the player profile of Robert Green. The new legend in the East End.

Robert Paul Green was born in January 1980. He currently is West Ham's number one choice keeper and might be England Number One choice soon if Cappello realises that he is the best keeper in England at this current time.

Green started his carreer at Norwich and made 223 apps for them and has currently made 70 apps for the Hammers but looks like he could be making alot more in the future. Green made his West Ham debut in a 1-0 defeat to Spurs on the 22nd of October 2006. Green's start at Upton Park was hit by injury but he soon recovered but when he was fit he kicked Carroll out of the team after his impressive performances he put in. Two of Greens best performances in a West Ham shirt were at the Emirates and Old Trafford where we won 1-0 in both which helped secure our Premiership Status. He was the 51st player to win Hammer of the Year in 2008 after some sensational performances.

He has made one England app when he was at Norwich. He was the sixth Norwich player to play for England. He played against Colombia after coming on after the bench. He will probably be making many more England apps soon if he keeps up his great performances.

He is quickly becoming a legend at Upton Park and like many footballers he does make a few mistakes but this can only make him a better player.

Next week we look at Matty Etherington the tricky left winger.
