Lee Bowyer has given the clearest indication yet that his bad boy days are over, by calling on Kieron Dyer to join the Hammers

Bowyer and Dyer were involved in an on-the-pitch spat whilst both playing for Newcastle but Bowyer - whose time back at Upton Park has been refreshingly without the kind of behaviour for which he is infamously known - says it's all in the past.

"We're fine now," the Hammers midfielder told the Daily Telegraph.

''Back then when it happened, it was just a crazy moment but I honestly don't have any worries about it at all now.

''Admittedly, when I was younger I made many mistakes but now I'm older, I just want to keep myself to myself."

And Lee highlighted the quality he thought Dyer could bring to Upton Park:

"He's a great player, another international, and I think that if he comes to West Ham the competition he would bring would be very good for the squad. He can play anywhere across the middle and as a striker, so why not go for him? Let's wait and see what happens."
