West Ham fan Chris Knoll, better known as 'Knollsy', posed for selfies with fans after West Ham's 3-1 victory over Leeds at London Stadium on Sunday.

The 58-year-old has been widely praised for putting himself in harm's way in the aftermath of West Ham's victory over the Dutch side in the Europa Conference League semi-final.

It comes after he was given a standing ovation for helping to protect the families of the club's players after Thursday's match against AZ Alkmaar.

After the victory, the father-of-four was spotted by fellow fans and posed for selfies with a number of them.
