Joe Cole lauds 'special' Declan Rice and says Europa Conference League win solidifies him as one of West Ham's greatest EVER players alongside club legends Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds

Declan Rice stands alongside Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds as one of West Ham's greatest ever players, claims Joe Cole.

Rice captained West Ham to Europa Conference League glory in Prague on Wednesday, beating Fiorentina to win the east London club their first piece of silverware in 58 years.

Cole, a former West Ham player himself, is no in no doubt that Rice, who was vague when asked if it was his final game for the club amid interest from Arsenal and Man United, has solidified himself among the pantheon of greats.
