‘What a special club’: Ex-West Ham player who David Moyes signed sends good luck message ahead of Europa Conference League final.
David Moyes will lead his West Ham team out for the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina at the Fortuna Arena in Prague tonight.
The Hammers are looking to win our first trophy since 1980 and the Conference League final is our biggest game since the FA Cup final way back in 2006.

Joao Mario is a player who Moyes brought to the London Stadium during his first stint in charge of West Ham.
Had things worked out differently, he could have been taking to the pitch tonight in the claret and blue. However, he never returned to the club after his successful loan spell. In spite of that, the Portuguese ace clearly still has fond memories of his time in East London…
Ex-West Ham player sends good luck message ahead of Europa Conference League final
Mario, 30, was a really poplar figure in the East End during his short stay with the club five years ago.
And judging by his tweet today, it sounds like he was a huge fan of his time with West Ham as well:
That is really great to see from Joao Mario, and it goes to show that the Hammers are indeed a truly special football club.
Tonight has the makings of a really special occasion for everyone involved with the club. Win, and we have Europa League football to look forward to next season.
Most importantly though, a victory in the Europa Conference League final would end our 43-year wait for a trophy. As a fanbase, we really do deserve our time in the sun.
Let’s just hope that every single player selected by David Moyes shows up tonight. Nothing less than 100% commitment and effort will do. COYI XXX
