Carlton Cole - Top Man

[Spammy The Vee]

Somehow one of my # 2 sons mates managed to get Carlton to send him a phone filmed message. My #2 son Charlie is aged 23 and not finding it easy holding down a job and doing Grad School at night, he was a bit down in the dumps and Carlton's "Big Up" to a fellow "Die Hard Hammer, like myself" has really lifted his spirits - he gave the rest of the family a shout out too. Top Man for sure !

[fjthegrey]

Nobody is surprised.

That smile..

Absolutely adore the bloke. Have a signed photo of him hanging proudly on my wall. Give the man a statue.

Attended one of those player meet and greets and had a birthday card for a mates 30th that I wanted Carlton to sign. He wrote a nice message inside but rolled his eyes when I told him I was overchuffed.

A living God

One of my all time fave West Ham players. For me he will always be Sir Carlton Of Cole. A Legend.

[Crouchend_Hammer]

The greatest living Englishman and my all time favourite Hammer

[denzel]

Always believe in

An absolute farce that he's not included on the official site's Hammers of the Decade feature.

Would be unfair on the others though, wouldn't it.

Make him a club ambassador just brightens the place up with his infectious enthusiasm

[Bamber Gascoigne]

A living God

[Graza]

Never the best player (other than that one purple patch where he got an England call up), always gave it all, mad as a hatter but comes across like a top bloke. We are West Ham, what more can you ask for.

(I do still ask when a player is having a shocker of a time controlling the ball if they've borrowed Carlton's Teflon covered boots...)

[Ozza]

West Ham isn’t only about silky skilled players it’s also about people that would bleed for the club, that make it part of their DNA.

Love the bloke

I think he is club ambassador mate

[Ironing Board]

Personally, I think Trevor Sinclair was a superior Top Man model. He managed to look both casual, yet stylish at the same time.

Yes he does, as FJ mentioned, no one is surprised, just a top top man
