Interestingly, the 33-year-old defender could be in line for a winner’s medal if West Ham are victorious out in Prague tonight – that’s in spite of the fact that he left the London Stadium to join Wolves in January.

Hammers boss David Moyes is on the cusp of making history tonight. The fans and players are obviously desperate for us to win the trophy.

It seems as though someone outside of the club is just as desperate for that to happen as well…

Craig Dawson breaks silence as West Ham head into Europa Conference League final

The centre-back sat down for an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail about his move from the Hammers to Wolves in January.

And Dawson wished his former club nothing but the best of luck ahead of the Conference League final tonight:

‘It was actually a Wolves fan who told me I’d get a medal. But I don’t know if that’s the case or not. I just hope they do it, win it and achieve something special together. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish I could be in Prague to cheer on the lads. Instead I’ll be glued to my television screen at home with my football-mad son who will be trying to stay up and watch it! It was sad to leave. Very, very sad. I loved every minute of my time at West Ham. But the opportunity came to come to a historic club in Wolves and it was the right time for me to move home with my family. It’s crazy, West Ham fans are everywhere. There are so many of them. When I signed, I knew it was a big club, with a big history, with a big fanbase, but you don’t realise how massive it is until you’re in that bubble.”

Those comments have made me miss Dawson even more!

What a brilliant player he was for us, and he’s clearly an equally brilliant human being.

I wish him all the best in his future endeavours and the nice thing is that he has done the same for the Hammers.

If West Ham win the Europa Conference League final tonight, it will be so good to see big Craig Dawson given a medal as well.
