West Ham keeper Adrian proud of clean sheet in front of 89yo grandfather

West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian was delighted to keep a clean sheet in front of his 89 year-old grandfather in victory over QPR.

Making his first-ever trip outside of his native Spain, Juan joined Adrian's father Manolo and other members of the San Miguel family in cheering the Hammers to a deserved victory.

"It's an important victory for so many reasons," Adrian told whufc.com. "First, we put in another very good performance and, second, we got our first clean sheet. My family also came over from Spain, including my grandfather who is 89-years-old, so it was unbelievable. He enjoyed it very much.

"My grandfather watched me play every time I played in Real Betis, but this is the first time he has come to watch me play in England. He is a very old man and this is the first time he has been out of Spain, but he has enjoyed it very much.

"My grandfather gave me congratulations for the victory and also for the clean sheet!"
