The beautiful game brought to High Street North

It’s not a familiar sight for West Ham United fans but the Barclays Premier League trophy came to the bank’s branch in High Street North, East Ham.

The branch displayed the silverware for one day for customers to have their photograph taken with the ultimate prize in English football.

Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales could not resist dropping in to have a look. He was met by Barclays branch manager Tony Driscoll and former Hammers legend Alvin Martin.

Alvin was there to meet football fans, answer their questions and sign autographs.
