As a Premier League captain on your birthday, perhaps you would expect several shiny apples from squad members looking to impress you.
Not so Mark Noble.
The West Ham legend, who has 525 appearances for the east London club, was instead pelted with eggs and flour on a rowing machine by his fellow squad members on his 34th birthday.
A hilarious video shared on Instagram by team-mate Jesse Lingard showed the whole caper, with the Hammers players surrounding Noble's machine as he completes a training exercise.
