One of the most revealing photos of the season shows West Ham captain Mark Noble after David Moyes's team had won at Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final last month.
Noble had played just the final 13 minutes but the picture shows him wearing a towel and flip flops, sweeping up the mess in the away dressing room. It is, by all accounts, a regular habit and, as Noble prepares to play his last home game before retirement on Sunday, the baton is about to be passed to someone else.
'I am actually in the background of that photo and it looks like I am refusing to help,' laughs West Ham right back Ben Johnson.
