So first of all, after my post the other day about how to write a West Ham article, the following had better turn out to be true. But, I’m putting my neck on the line and reporting what I’ve heard nontheless!

A source today has reported seeing promising Charlton forward, Danny Uchechi, pull up to our Chadwell Heath training ground and start signing autographs for the West Ham fans who were around. Here’s the email I received:

Charlton Youngster Danny Uchechi was at Chadwell Heath training ground this morning. The Nigerian international was picked up from Upton Park stadium in a cab, also in the black cab was financial director Nick Igoe. The cabbie was instructed not to talk to either of the men, but once the player entered the Chadwell Heath area he immediately stopped the cab driver after seeing west ham fans getting some autographs from danny gabbidon, and then wound his window down and signed west ham items such as balls and shirts. He stated he must sign for his fans.

To be honest I didn’t who he was when I saw him this morning, but a Charlton supporter recognized him from when West Ham u18s drew 3-3 with Charlton.

Like I say, I have this on pretty good grounds, but it’s not directly from me – I’m just the messenger! In the meantime, here is a forum thread about him over at Addickted.net

I’m trying to track down some photos of the fella actually signing the autographs which are apparently in existence somewhere, I will post them up here if I can get my hands on them, add a bit of meat to the report and all that!

As promised, here are the photo’s of him signing autographs in the back of the cab:
