Glenn Looks Forward

Glenn Roeder has two big fixtures to think about before the end of the season - the visit of Bolton Wanderers and, three days earlier, The Queen!

Along with the Duke of Edinburgh, The Queen is visiting Upton Park as part of her Golden Jubilee tour of the area to officially open the 15,878 capacity Dr. Martens stand.

Glenn is looking forward to the event and says:

"It is a huge honour; I was quite taken aback when the chairman told me that the Queen was coming to open the new stand.

"It is a massive boost for West Ham United that the Queen is going to come; it will be a magical moment for the club and a special day for the people who are going to be immediately concerned with meeting her.

"I have already been very fortunate and lucky to have met her already when she held a reception for the England and Scotland World Cup squads after France '98 at Buckingham Palace, so I am already very honoured to have been in her company."
