Lucas Neill has told WHUTV how the "stick" he took from some Blackburn Rovers supporters spurred him and the team on to victory.
The West Ham United captain was again singled out by sections of the home support on Sunday, despite pleas by Mark Hughes for fans to go easy on a defender who served the club for six years. Neill won 2-1 at Ewood Park in last season's run-in and followed that up with a superb display in Sunday's 1-0 success.
Speaking to WHUTV, he said: "You always want to win at your old club. When are the fans going to learn that if you boo players of the past, they are going to come back to haunt you? This is two from two now.
"When you start getting stick it just makes you want to do better than you think you can already anyway. For me it just makes my smile much bigger." Log on or register with WHUTV now to hear more from Neill on:
