West Ham extend Obama invitation



Obama last visited Britain in July

West Ham are to invite US President-elect Barack Obama to watch a game at Upton Park when he next visits the UK.

Obama saw West Ham play during a visit to see his half-sister Auma in 2003.

"We are very proud of what Barack Obama has achieved and respect what he has done," West Ham director Mike Lee told BBC Sport.

"We plan to send him a letter of congratulations and invite him to come to game at Upton Park the next time he is in London," added Lee.

Obama was elected the first African-American US president on Tuesday with a resounding win over Republican rival John McCain.

A keen sports fan, Obama's 10-year-old daughter Malia plays for a girls' football team in Chicago.

The President-elect last visited Britain in July when he met Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron.

At that time he would have been unable to have watched West Ham as the club were preparing for the start of the current season.

"...while goalkeeper Paddy Kenny is close to inking a new contract with Sheffield United that would result in him doubling his wages to £26,000 per week. Although he might not look like much of an athlete, Kenny is a good keeper who has attracted plenty of interest from other suitors. Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Birmingham City have all been sniffing around the Blades' last line of defence, while America's president elect is so enamoured with Kenny's ability to repel attacks that he has him earmarked as a potential national security advisor..."

.... paddy would advise against it.

Today's rumours come from behind bullet-proof glass that's 12ft high and three inches thick, not that we'll have much to worry about if Dimitar Berbatov is taking aim.
