Mark Noble will happily spend his last ever West Ham home game on the bench – if it helps his team take another step nearer qualification for European football next season.
The midfielder, 35, has been at the club for his whole career and has told manager David Moyes not to let sentiment sway him when he selects his starting line-up to face Manchester City on Sunday.
The fiercely loyal player will also refuse to take a penalty for his boyhood club and sign off in style, if the Hammers get one.
