West Ham United's former No1 Ludek Miklosko was a welcome visitor back to Chadwell Heath this week and it's clear he is keeping an eye on the clubs progress.
The former Czech international, who made 365 appearances for the Hammers during an eight-year playing career, now lives back in his native Czech Republic working as a sports agent. He still manages to keep track of his former club's progress though and is pleased with how they are playing.
Miklosko said: "Every week I'm always looking out for their results and I'm very impressed. I believe we will get promoted back to the Premier League at the end of the season which is where a great club like West Ham belong."
The fans' favourite and former Hammer of the Year has also managed to attend a couple of games this season and felt that the players were showing a new-found desire. His return to the Boleyn Ground gave him a chance to catch up with some old friends on the coaching team, having been a goalkeeping coach at the club until 2010.
"I made it here for one game early on in the season and it was great to see the boys playing so well. They look hungry for promotion and deserve the results they are getting.
"I've still got friends here and they say the mood around the club is great, the training ground is a very happy place, and everyone is enjoying themselves and working towards the same goal of promotion."
Miklosko, of course, still keeps a close eye on the progress of the Hammers goalkeepers, and has been particularly impressed by Robert Green's recent performances. While the England international has been outstanding in the first team, the development of Miklosko's fellow countryman Marek Stech on loan and in training has caught his eye as well.
"Marek is fantastic lad, determined to do well here. He needs to get a few games under his belt, gain a bit more experience and I'm sure he will do very well.
"Rob is playing very well at the moment, he's always looking to learn and improve himself and this is what makes him a top goalkeeper."
