West Ham fans were loving the club’s invitation for a 10-year-old to interview some of the club’s stars.

Devoted Hammer Billy O’Daly was asked to go along to the recent Premier League launch show on Sky Sports.

It was there Marko Arnautovic, Jack Wilshere and Manuel Pellegrini were all discussing West Ham ahead of the new season.

The trio were speaking about the club’s aspirations with Dave Jones, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville.

The programme was aired last week before the club’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Chief interrogator Billy

The kid was chosen after submitting a question to Wilshere on Twitter with a video.

The Irons fan was tasked with getting information out of the trio, which went down very well on Twitter with the fans.

Arnie gets cheeky

One funny moment in particular came when Arnautovic turned the tables on the youngster.

The Austrian jumped in to ask who his favourite player was, to which Billy immediately replied: “You!”.

The 29-year-old was sceptical, and then asked whether he was only saying that for the camera before hugging him for telling the truth.

It was an endearing moment that certainly showed the striker in an excellent light.

Arnautovic is of course known for being a character, and clearly he is a nice guy off the pitch – he also came across well, and honest on Sky’s launch programme.
