Sprinting on his uncle's potato field with weights strapped to his arms made Jarrod Bowen fitter than ever. He's one of West Ham's hardest trainers under David Moyes' constant challenging, and knows he has chance to emulate Trevor Brooking's 1976 heroics

Jarrod Bowen has come to epitomise everything positive about West Ham United under David Moyes.

Not only has the 25-year-old had a sensational season for the Hammers but he has done so off the back of hard work and graft both on and off the field - traits which sceptics feel are lacking among players in the modern-day, multi-million pound game.

In the summer of 2020, around six months after Bowen signed for West Ham from Hull City in a £20million-plus deal, he went to his uncle's potato farm in Herefordshire for some additional training in preparation for the new season.
