'The lads wanted him to sort his hair out!' Zamora on Tevez
Ex-West Ham striker Bobby Zamora has revealed the way Carlos Tevez was welcomed into the Hammers dressing room after his shock move at the start of the 2006-07 season."We had a really funny bunch of lads at West Ham, the majority were young English guys, so all on the same wavelength, all on the same banter," said Zamora."It was a very, very funny place. "I remember, day one, Carlos coming in with his crazy hair. He had mad, mad hair and him not understanding a word of English, banter was flying with all of the lads."All the lads were like: 'Mate, your hair is horrendous, like, what? You are gonna have to get this sorted out'. He obviously had no idea, smiling away. That was a bit of an introduction for him to the changing room!"Not a Hammers fan?

"Going down to the last game of the season of course, which was Manchester United away. To come away with a win there - and obviously Carlos scoring. I'm claiming an assist on that."Carlos is certainly up there with the greatest South American strikers for sure."Tevez's final day goal was controversial given the signings of both he and Mascherano had breached third-party ownership rules, leading to the threat of a points deduction as punishment. However, the Premier League stopped short of this measure, fining the club £5.5m, but the Hammers had to pay relegated Sheffield United £20m after a tribunal process."Obviously, towards the back end of the season there was talk of court cases and point deductions," added Zamora. "There was obviously the paper talk about what could happen, but we had no idea really."Listen to the full podcast here
