Former West Ham star James Collins has revealed the team-mate who had the "biggest c*** you've ever seen".

Collins, 40, spent a decade with the Hammers across two spells from 2005-2009 and 2012-2018, making 214 appearances in total. The ex-Wales centre-back, who retired in 2020, has plenty of tales to tell from his time in east London.

And he opened up on some of them during his recent appearance on Under The Cosh, including the first time he locked eyes on the manhood of winger Kyel Reid. Collins couldn't quite believe what he was seeing.

He exclaimed: "F***ing hell. Kyel Reid has the biggest c*** you’ve ever seen in your life. Ever f***ing seen, ever seen. And I don’t think he will mind me saying this. Honestly, it’s phenomenal."

Reid was a West Ham academy graduate who made a handful of appearances for the senior side until his departure in 2009. The 36-year-old is still playing non-league football for Rayners Lane.

Collins also detailed the time he and Andy Carroll brawled at the end of a pre-season tour in Germany during Sam Allardyce's tenure. "We were in this bar, p***ed, got a bit lively and Kev [Nolan] and Andy started having an argument about something," he recalled.

"I got in the middle and told them to leave it out. Andy's gone, you could see his eyes are gone, he wanted to chin someone. I thought, I'll have a go.

"I swung for Andy, missed him by a foot and he has gone and hit me on the cheek - never so hard in all my life. It didn't knock me out but I took a knee. [Mark] Noble is in the middle of us, it's pandemonium.

"We stood up, had a pint, shook hands and got on with it. Don't get hit by Andy Carroll! He is one strong geezer. Next morning, my cheek is out here. We've gone down and Sam has heard something has gone on.

"Sam was fuming, saying it was a disgrace. We thought we were in for it. All the squad leave, the door closes and Big Sam goes, 'Oh you buggers, what have you been up to?'. He absolutely loved it."
