Blackburn fans plan special West Ham chant as 7,000 Hammers head north

Blackburn Rovers supporters are organizing a joint tribute to former West Ham United goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko during Saturday's Championship fixture at Ewood Park. Around 7,000 visiting West Ham fans are expected to attend, with plans in place for both sets of supporters to applaud and chant Miklosko's name in the opening minute following his passing in September at age 64.

Miklosko earned iconic status at Blackburn after producing an outstanding performance against Manchester United on the final day of the 1994-95 season, which helped secure the Premier League title for Rovers. Supporter David Stainton contacted West Ham fan groups to propose the coordinated tribute ahead of the match on November 7.
