Ashton Forced To Retire Respect to the man

Striker Dean Ashton has been forced to retire through injury.

The 26-year-old has succumbed to a long-term ankle problem which he initially sustained when training with England in August 2006.

Chief executive Scott Duxbury told the Hammers website: “This is a sad day and our thoughts are with Dean. I would like to place on record our thanks for all his efforts and wish him the best.”

Ashton, capped at every England level from Under-17s up, was marked out by Capello when the Italian was appointed England manager.

Had it not been for injury he would surely have earned greater international recognition and be jostling for a place in next year’s World Cup in South Africa.

Ashton once said talk of him being injury jinxed was a “myth”, but there is no denying that his early retirement is a cruel end to what could have been a fairytale story.

This video shows Dean battling his ankle injury back in 2007, which goes to show why he is probably sick to the back teeth of physiotherapy by now.Still he was a great player and as you can see did all he can to get back.

Best wishes Deano

This was filmed by skysports during Deans Rehab in 2007

Zola described his shock after the 3-1 League Cup victory over Millwall was marred by violence in and around Upton Park.

One man was stabbed in the chest near the stadium among the chaos, with a number of arrests made for disorder and breaches of banning orders.

Zola said: “Here, I’ve played seven years and never seen anything like this. I was completely shocked.”

The Football Association have called for fans involved in Tuesday’s violent scenes at the West Ham against Millwall game to be banned for life.

Two extra-time goals saved West Ham against rivals Millwall in the Carling Cup amid large-scale crowd trouble.

Danny Gabbidon failed to clear a long throw and the ball fell to Neil Harris to open the scoring for the Lions.

Jack Collison hit a post for the hosts, but Junior Stanislas clipped in to level and scored a penalty as fans encroached on the pitch, before sub Zavon Hines sealed the win.
