‘The person who represented me at the time said, "You need to hand in a transfer request and get in early because all the lads are going to leave".
‘I remember going in and I was so nervous. It was [then-West Ham chief executive] Paul Aldridge and I gave him the letter and he said, "What’s this?" And I said, "It's a transfer request". He looked at me as if to say, "Are you kidding?"
‘The backlash was crazy. I felt like I was on my own and people were absolutely abusing me.
‘To this day I can imagine West Ham fans look at me and think, "Who does he think he is? How can you do that? You're a Judas". And it's quite sad really because I can honestly say I still love that club.'
