West Ham will receive 40 medals on Wednesday, whether as winners of the Europa Conference League or runners-up. Whatever happens, the word inside the finalists’ camp is that one will be mailed to Craig Dawson, who left for Wolves in January.
Dawson has not heard anything official from his old club. But for this titanic central defender, all that matters is West Ham’s squad, staff and supporters celebrate a momentous night in the Czech capital.
‘It was actually a Wolves fan who told me I’d get a medal,’ Dawson, 33, tells Mail Sport ahead of Wednesday’s showdown with Fiorentina.
