Moon Walk To Upton Park


There was some disbelief at the weekend when this blog revealed that Michael Jackson was a West Ham fan - despite the obvious clue provided by the naming of his pet chimp Bubbles. Now a few people might feel like apologising following the revelation that we are in for a player called Moon in tribute to the King of Pop.

Jackson, of course, is famous for his Moon Walk and there can be no doubt that this move for Bryce Moon is a response to Michael's death. It seems that the club are determined to keep the memory of Jackson alive at the Boleyn Ground.

Football pundit Lee Vitout was quick to point out that uniting Moon with Neill would be the perfect tribute. "Lucas rarely gets above walking pace so put the two together and we would have the Moon Walk!" he laughed.

On the other hand, having missed out on Fanni and Master Bates, this may just be the club's latest attempt to help journos and irritating blog authors to write silly headlines.

No, only you write irritating blogs.

Looks like the Moon deal could fall through now. He was involved in a serious car crash on Monday in which a woman died.

He was the driver and was on his way home from a party. It's not looking good for him so I would expect that any deal would now hinge on how that pans out...

i think journalists are more concerned with the death by dangerous driving headlines than the puns

He was in a car crash yesterday, killing a woman in the process, no thanks!
