Stephen joined West Ham’s victory celebrations yesterday, after the football club beat Fiorentina 2-1 to win the Europa Conference League on Wednesday.
West Ham United beat Fiorentina 2-1 late on Wednesday evening with a last minute goal. The victory over Fiorentina meant West Ham won their first trophy since 1980 and their first European trophy since 1965. To celebrate the accomplishment, West Ham United organised a victory parade through the streets of East London.
The victory parade travelled from their old home at Upton Park, in Stephen’s constituency of East Ham, to Stratford Town Hall. They were greeted by Newham Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz. Stephen joined in the celebrations from Stratford Town Hall.
“It is wonderful to see people throughout Newham celebrating this accomplishment,” Stephen said. “I congratulate West Ham United on their achievement and hope it is the start of many more trophies heading Newham’s way!”
