West Ham have been hit by more sad news ahead of the Premier League clash with Brighton in what has been a difficult couple of weeks.
It was just 11 days ago that West Ham were left praying for the survival of striker Michail Antonio.
When images emerged of Antonio’s Ferrari, the Hammers admitted they feared the worst.
Antonio’s lucky escape from a horrific car crash put football into perspective – even if it might end his career after he suffered a broken thigh bone.
Less than one week later, on Friday evening, West Ham announced the absolutely devastating news that young Academy star Oscar Fairs had passed away.
Under 15 Academy goalkeeper Oscar had been fighting against a rare brain cancer.
Oscar had been with his beloved West Ham since the age of six and was a lifelong fan and season ticket holder.
The young starlet dreamed of reaching the West Ham first team and playing for his beloved Hammers one day. But he sadly lost his battle against the illness.
