      “Good luck tonight daddy we love you so so much, so proud of you every single day,” she wrote.
      More heart-warming stories followed with pictures of the twins in mini West Ham United outfits – showing their support for their father.

      Their support clearly worked as West Ham proudly lifted their first European piece of silverware since 1965 after a tense and difficult final.
      In the 90th minute, with extra-time looking nailed on, Bowen managed to deliver the moment which will be likely watched time and time again.
      Dani and Jarrod first went public with their relationship in December 2021, which made her West Ham supporting father Danny Dyer incredibly pleased.
      They first revealed their relationship to The Sun, with Dani saying: My dad thinks Jarrod’s a lovely guy.
      “He’s invested in all of the West Ham players – because he supports the team and follows some of them, he’s like: ‘They’re all my friends.’ I’m like: ‘Right, OK, Dad.’ 
      “But he’s always been such a big football fan. As soon as Santi was born, the West Ham babygros were coming in from Grandad.
      “That was the first thing everyone bought me, actually, and I was like: ‘I need vests. And could anyone bring some nappies round?’”
      Dani moved in with boyfriend Jarrod in November after putting her £750k home on the rental market.

      She moved into the Essex pad in the summer of 2021, around the same time her ex-partner and father to her son Sammy Kimmence was jailed for three and half years.

      Supporters collapsed in tears at full-time after the 2-1 victory over Italy’s Fiorentina.
      After captain Declan Rice took his place in West Ham history alongside legendary trophy-winning skippers Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds, fans filled the streets of Czechia’s capital – as well as back in London.
      Footage showed supporters cheering at the top of their lungs and leaping on top of each other in excitement.
      Others were seen collapsing in tears at full-time as the Irons were crowned champions.

      Many tore their shirts off as they screamed in celebration, while others had their phones in their hands – capturing the historic moment.
      Adults and children alike cheered for their beloved team, closing their eyes with their arms around one another.
      In Prague, where West Ham fans had earlier been ambushed by Italia ultra hooligans, the streets overflowed with Hammers.
      Back home was no different, with maroon and blue shirts spilling out of pubs.

      Inside Prague’s bars, fans leapt onto tables, kissing each other as tears streamed down their faces.
      Many could be heard singing: “West Ham are massive everywhere we go.”
      Others chanted: “2-1 to the cockney boys”.
      The Europa Conference League final took place at the 19,300 capacity Fortuna Arena, with West Ham receiving a ticket allocation of just 5,000.
      Just hours prior to the match, supporters had been attacked in what was dubbed an unprovoked brawl.
      Black-clad hooligans in hoodies and masks could be seen hurling chairs and flares toward a bar full of Irons fans.
      Around 300 West Ham supporters, including families, had been drinking at the pub when they were ambushed by a gang of 100 yobs brandishing chains, belts, and bottles.
      People were said to have been raced to hospital, while local police arrested the yobs on the ground.
      After the match, as celebrations spilled into the streets, West Ham fans clashed with cops in riot gear.
      A flare was let off in the crowd with one eye-witness saying “all hell broke loose”.
      Trouble also broke out during the match in the city’s Fortuna Arena as West Ham fans hurled plastic pint pots at a Fiorentina player.
      Cristiano Biraghi had blood pouring from his head after being struck as he went to take a corner.
      The referee was also handed a disposable vape thrown from the crowd.
      The game was West Ham’s first European final for 47 years — but concerns were raised beforehand about the prospect of trouble.
      The stadium holds just 20,800 — with a mere 4,890 seats allocated to West Ham supporters.
      However, an estimated 20,000 were in Prague, many heading to the fan zone.

      A jubilant Bowen was about to be interviewed by BT Sport when a West Ham fan ran over to him.
      But the forward was not interested as he shoved the pitch invader away and told him to go away.
      The fan was singing an X-rated song about Bowen’s girlfriend and former Love Island star Dani Dyer.
      Said Benrahma put the Hammers ahead from the spot just after the hour mark but Giacomo Bonaventura levelled on 67 minutes.

      And the game looked to be heading for extra-time before Bowen was slipped through on goal.
      The England international coolly slotted past Fiorentina stopper Pietro Terracciano to win the game.
      Bowen was almost lost for words when he finally got round to speaking.
      He said: “I obviously dreamed of scoring but to score the winner in the last minute. It’s what you always say you want to do.

      But last night, when they were in danger of bottling it, West Ham held their nerves and saw of play-acting Fiorentina.
      Moyes’ side took the lead with Said Benrahma’s penalty after VAR spotted a handball from Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi. He was hearing a bandage after his head was cut open by a West Ham idiot in the first half throwing a vape.
      Yet just five minutes after West Ham put themselves in a terrific position, Giacomo Bonaventura delivered a polished finish to bring the Italians level.
      But then Bown controlled a through ball from Lucas Paqueta and his finish was just superb. Cue absolute mayhem.
      This game was certainly a bit of a slow burner. The only really notable incident in the first half was the behaviour from some West Ham fans which could get the club in trouble.
      Ilkay Gundogan’s FA Cup strike after 12 seconds on Saturday is unlikely to ever be beaten although Michail Antonio had a crack at goal after 38 seconds although keeper Pietro Terracciano saved comfortably to his right. Incredibly, that was the only shot on target in the opening 45 minutes.
      Antonio did well to keep a lid on his temper as he was constantly kicked, nudged and having his shirt pulled with little protection from the officials.
      In contrast, Fiorentina winger Nicolas Gonzalez who had a pathetic attempt at trying to win a penalty by claiming he had been hit in his face, which was weird because he received the tiniest of nudges to the back of his head from Rice.
      Although it is no excuse, when Gonzalez went down again after winning a corner, this frustrated West Ham fans so much they started lobbing plastic beer glasses onto the pitch with a vape hitting Biraghi.
      He applauded the fans sarcastically before realising his head had been split open.
      In first half injury time, Luca Jovic thought he had nodded his team into the lead when reacting first to a header from Christian Kouame which had hit the post.
      Benrahama will also have been thankful as he failed to cut out the initial far post cross from Gonzalez.

      There was a nervous wait for West Ham fans but to their relief after a long VAR check, the goal was ruled out.
      Moyes’ team had lost concentration and their performance had dipped following the issues with the crowd.
      But after a slightly wobbly start to the second half, they composed themselves and got the huge break they were hoping for.
      When Bowen controlled the ball in the arena it hit the outstretched hand of Biraghi and there was never any doubt that it would be spotted by VAR.
      Benrahama’s penalty was superb and all West Ham needed to do was keep their cool but they failed to do so.
      Left-back Emerson was beaten in the air by Gonzalez and Bonaventura took one touch before guiding a decent shot beyond Areola.
      The game opened up and both teams had their chances. Moyes tried to freshen things up by replacing Benrahma with Pablo Fornals with 14 minutes left.
      In the 89th minute, Areola delivered a vital save to smother a long distance shot from Sofyan Amrabat.
      And with extra-time looking nailed on, Bowen delivered that moment which will be seen time and time again on repeat.
      Rice lifted the trophy, his final action as a West Ham player. He will now hope the next 12 months will be as rewarding. The omens certainly look promising.

      Regardless of where he moves to in the summer, he will be a key part of England’s bid to win Euro2024 in Germany.
