        <description><![CDATA[Hope this is ok to post. Ive recently come across some interviews done by the facebook 
group 'Sex, Drugs + Carlton Cole. They have interviewed a few previous players, who give 
a real insight on what it was like to play for West Ham. There are some great stories in them 
and thought i had to share.
