West Ham boss David Moyes has hailed the influence of captain Mark Noble on and off the field as they chase Europa League glory.

Hammers boss Moyes feels the picture that emerged of the veteran midfielder sweeping the dressing room after Thursday's stunning victory at Lyon perfectly epitomises the club's values.

West Ham reached the semi-finals of a European competition for the first time in 46 years with a 3-0 victory over the French side at the Groupama Stadium.

Moyes said: “There are young players who have been really fortunate to be on the bench in most of the games in European competition, and Mark is the first one to try and make sure that they realise a lot of the old values, like tidying up after you, keeping things right, not just leaving it.

“I think a lot of us will say he is a great example. He takes the lead himself, he just does it himself. And if Mark Noble can do it, anyone can do it.

“It's the sort of values we want because it might not necessarily make you a better team but it makes you better individuals.

“It means that you're working with humble people, it means that you're also working with people who understand lots of things in life and 'Nobes' is well aware of that. And that's the message we're trying to get through the young players.

“It's not just about being a player. There's much more to that than just that."
