Wanstead’s Ezra Mayers makes memorable start for West Ham

Former Aldersbrook Primary School pupil Ezra Mayers made his first senior team start for West Ham United earlier this month, helping his side to a 2–1 win over Queens Park Rangers in the third round of the FA Cup.

“Walking out of the tunnel for the first time, through all the bubbles and the fans singing, was very special, and something you don’t get when you come on as a sub,” said the 19-year-old Wanstead-born defender.

Ezra joined the club’s Academy of Football at the age of eight and signed his first professional contract in January 2024.
