Manuel Lanzini and Buster

Like My Dreams - Buster's Story

Brave young West Ham United fan Buster enjoyed a day he will never forget on a visit to Rush Green training ground as part of the Club's Like My Dreams initiative. 

Buster, who is undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, met Manuel Lanzini during the players' visit to Newham Hospital's Rainbow Centre, which provides 24-hour inpatient and day care for children and young people, in December.

 

Buster told Lanzini about his favourite players and the matches he had been to at London Stadium. He also told Lanzini he hoped Argentina would win the FIFA World Cup, and the No10, who presented him with a personally signed shirt, said he would welcome the youngster to Rush Green if his home country were triumphant in Qatar.

Argentina, of course, won the tournament and Lanzini honoured his promise earlier this year, and West Ham TV was on hand to capture an emotional day for Buster as he met his heroes.
