United for Sport Relief

Sport Relief was an unqualified success this year with more than £20m being raised and West Ham United are continuing to support this year-round good cause.

Former Olympic athlete Kriss Akabusi, a season-ticket holder, turned up at the Boleyn Ground to lend his backing to Radio 1 DJs Chris Moyles, Chappers and Dave as they ran a mile around the pitch. The gang - cheered on by Kieron Dyer - clocked up a time of 8.43 minutes as part of their successful bid to run a mile at every top-flight club in England and Scotland in the course of just one week.

Speaking to WHUTV, Akabusi revealed he has been most impressed this season with the likes of George McCartney, Hayden Mullins and Carlton Cole for their efforts in helping the squad to a solid league position. "In general, we have had a fantastic season," he said. "We are mid-table, we ain't going down and we have got a good base but let's get Dean Ashton scoring, let's get Kieron Dyer and Craig Bellamy coming at them ... that's what I want to see, that's West Ham United."

Meanwhile, TV presenter Ben 'The Hammer' Shephard, another lifelong fan, beat singer Lemar, a Tottenham Hotspur supporter, in a special three-round celebrity boxing match. Having received specialist training from Ricky Hatton, Shephard fought back from a difficult opening round to win the day against his taller - Amir Khan-coached - rival. You can also see him talking about his experiences as a West Ham United fan on WHUTV.
