You’d struggle to name a player that’s more popular amongst West Ham fans at present that Lukasz Fabianski. Since his move from Swansea, the goalkeeper has really endeared himself to the London Stadium faithful.
After the Joe Hart-led struggles of last season, it was obvious that West Ham needed a new goalkeeper, and whilst the now-34-year-old Fabianski wouldn’t have been the first name on a lot of wishlists, he’s certainly proven the club’s pursuit of him right.
He’s enjoyed a brilliant campaign at West Ham, with consistency between the sticks really helping to win us points throughout the year.
Wishing @LukaszFabianski a very happy birthday!

Unsurprisingly, then, when West Ham paid tribute to the goalkeeper in celebration of his birthday, lots of supporters have taken the opportunity to show their support for the 33-year-old. They’ll take any chance they can get to praise him, even if he’s been underrated by those outside of the club this term.
They’ve been so impressed by him, that much is clear. You can see what they’ve had to say below…
Didn’t realise he’s 34, hope we can get another 4-5 years out of him. Easily Hammer Of the Year!

The man who has stopped us from relegation, no thanks to an oft-leaky defence.
