Former West Ham Star James Collins Spotted During Visit to Hammers Training Ground This Week

West Ham fan favourite James Collins has apparently paid a recent visit to the Hammers' training ground.

The Wales international was seen on Robert Snodgrass' Instagram, with the image then being spread on social media by various fans.

Collins, who was affectionately nicknamed 'Ginge' by West Ham fans, was informed through email over the summer that he was not being offered a new contract at the club.

It was a cold way to end a relationship with a player regarded as a cult hero by West Hams fans. Collins made 214 appearances for the club over ten seasons - the Irons re-signed him in 2012 following his three-year stint for Aston Villa.
