Dyer - All you need is Slav

West Ham fan Danny Dyer was thrilled to be back at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday and hopes the Club can achieve big things under the leadership of Slaven Bilic this season.


The Eastenders Star has already been to the Bournemouth and Newcastle matches this season and is hoping to attend as many games as possible in the final ever season at Upton Park.


Dyer says he will be full of emotion as the Hammers prepare to play their final ever league game against Swansea on May 7.


But the famous actor is also looking forward to seeing the Club make a big move into the new Stadium next summer and sees no reason why they cannot compete with the big guns in England.


Dyer said: “I am gutted that we are leaving the Boleyn and there are a lot of memories for me as I have been coming here since I was a kid.


“But we have got to look at the bigger picture and we are going to have one of the best grounds in the league. We need to move forward and hopefully we can attract bigger players.


“I want to experience Champions League football. It is our time and we are due it.


“We have a strong team this season and why shouldn't we be dreaming about a top four finish. Why can't we be treated to a bit of glory?


“I started coming over with my old man during the 1985/86 season and seeing the great partnership between McAvennie and Cottee.


“I am a Custom House boy and I can still remember the walk to the ground and the smell of the burgers as you got nearer. I am a true believer in that your club chooses you.


“We have got the Bilic on the scene now. All you need is Slav!!”


Dyer has also joined the big fan club behind Dimitri Payet and feels he is already following in the footsteps of fans favourite Paolo Di Canio.


Payet has wasted no time settling into his new surroundings and has been one of the star performers in the opening ten games of the season.


Dyer added: “Payet is a beautiful man. He pulls the it off well. He is a like a Di Canio player and gets you off your seat.”
