West Ham old boys Kevin Nolan and Carlton Cole train with Slaven Bilic's men ahead of trip to Tottenham

A couple of old faces joined West Ham's current crop for training on Thursday as Kevin Nolan and Carlton Cole returned to Rush Green.

The former Hammers duo, who spent a total of 13 years with the east London club, have been given access to the club's facilities by manager Slaven Bilic.

And they took full advantage of the offer, linking up with the first-team as they were put through their paces ahead of Saturday's trip to rivals Tottenham.
