A week on from West Ham United’s UEFA Europa Conference League triumph, recall some of the best quotes from across the celebrations in Prague and East London…
David Moyes
It sunk in for me when we got back to the East End of London tonight and saw the supporters on the streets. It was incredible. West Ham is a huge football club with huge support in East London and the proof of that is tonight. There were thousands of supporters on the streets tonight and the support we had last night in Prague was unbelievable.
Vladimír Coufal
It’s beautiful. Everybody in the Club deserves it and that it has happened in Prague is even more emotional for me. It is massive. We win the games for the Czech Republic and then I will drink for a month.
Kurt Zouma
You can see how happy the fans are, and how happy we are, it’s just time to celebrate! We have to thank the fans because they have always been behind us, supporting us through every adversity, and seeing them happy like this – that’s what we play for.
Mark Noble
It’s just pure emotion. Just being part of nights like this is so special. All of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, the hard work, the graft. It really is amazing.
Alphonse Areola
We have made history; we are part of this Club’s history. We’re delighted and so proud to be a part of West Ham’s history. When we saw the families all there, savouring the trophy and the victory, that’s what means the most.
Roberta Moore
You can see how much the team means to so many people and it’s such a brilliant achievement to win the competition. I couldn’t be happier for everyone involved – it’s taken us a long time and now every deserves to really celebrate what we’ve achieved.
Emerson
We need to take this moment and the confidence from it into the next season, into the Premier League, and try to do it in the league and also the Europa League too. It’s a good competition and it’s always good to play European competitions. I’m looking forward to it.
Declan Rice
Look how special it is. I’m telling you now, look at them, what a special group of people. It’s incredible and I’m just so happy!
Tomáš Souček
It’s special to lift the trophy for the West Ham fans who were waiting a long time, many years, and now they can celebrate, and they really deserve it. It’s a miracle and I am enjoying it!
Ben Johnson
It is a joyous moment, and I am so privileged to experience this. It has been a great experience for me and for everyone involved in the squad.
Jarrod Bowen
I obviously dreamed of scoring but to score the winner in the last minute…you always say you want to score a last-minute winner! But to do it in front of these fans, I thought I was going to cry. I’m just so, so happy. I can’t put it into words!
Michail Antonio
Unbelievable! Nobody wanted to leave the celebrations. There was a bit of everything. A bit of dancing, a bit of drinking. It has been a pleasure, obviously!
