Watch heartwarming moment David Moyes hands his dad, 87, his winner’s medal after landing first major trophy as manager
DAVID MOYES gave his dad his winner’s medal after claiming the Europa Conference League.
West Ham beat Fiorentina late on to secure Moyes‘ first major trophy as a manager.
His father David Snr watched on from the stands, just as he did in the previous round, and the 87-year-old congratulated his son pitchside.
Moyes, 60, was delighted to see his dad and quickly took off his medal to place it around his neck.
The pair posed for photos as the Hammers boss beamed from ear to ear.
Moyes partied on the pitch in front of the travelling West Ham fans before continuing his celebrations in the dressing room.
He danced around and sung along to ‘I’m Gonna Be’ by the Proclaimers, as one of his players sprayed champagne at him.
Moyes stormed the pitch after Jarrod Bowen‘s late winner and shared his delight after finally getting his hands on silverware.
He said after the match: “This is fantastic.
“I’ve had a long career in football and you don’t get many moments like this. Thankfully tonight we’ve had a great time and we got the result we wanted. The game probably didn’t go to plan the way we wanted. But in the end, winning finals is the important thing.

“I would have to say so [proudest moment of his career].
“The moments you get to celebrate with your family and everybody here, and to win in the last two minutes in the game, it’s a great feeling.”
