West Ham star "pooed in teammate’s shoe" in brutal prank, Michail Antonio claims

A West Ham United player once pooed in his teammate’s shoe as a prank, current striker Michail Antonio has revealed.

Antonio has enjoyed a hugely successful season with the Hammers so far, becoming the East London side’s all time leading Premier League goal-scorer.

The forward has become an iconic figure at the club, having joined permanently in 2015 from Nottingham Forest.

He has also recently started a podcast, ‘The Footballer’s Football Podcast’, collaborating with rival fo Callum Wilson, who currently leads the line for Newcastle United.

In a recent episode, the pair discussed the “biggest characters” they had played with. Antonio revealed that his answer was Scottish forward Robert Snodgrass, before sharing a shocking story about a prank that took place during his time at the club.

“He’s something different, that boy. Banter for days, some of the stuff I can’t even talk to you about on here,” he began.

“There was like a group of boys that all pranked each other. It was Robert Snodgrass, Ryan Fredericks, Declan Rice, David Martin, Mark Noble, Aaron Cresswell, and Jack Wilshere.

“Every single day, they would either steal each other’s phones, steal each other’s clothes, drive each other’s cars out of the training ground and park it so they couldn’t find it, take people’s keys, superglue their trainers to the ground… The banter is unreal."

But it was Antonio’s next revelation that sparked the biggest reaction from Wilson. The striker remembered: “Someone’s shoes got pooed in.”

Laughing, Callum couldn’t contain his surprise, exclaiming: “What?”

Repeating the statement but refusing to reveal the names of the culprit and their victim, Michail confirmed: “Someone pooed in someone’s trainer, and was waiting for the person to put their foot in the shoe.

“They weren’t their running trainers, either. That was his actual Air Jordans.

“Luckily he didn’t put his foot in them, but because he left them at the training ground, they were in there for three days. And he’s come in, and he’s like (sniffing), ‘what is that? Something stinks’.

“But no-one knew what it was until after training, when he’s picked his shoe up and he’s like, ‘nah this doesn’t feel right’, and he’s actually looked in it and then thrown it across the room, like ‘oh s**t’.”

Michail noted that he usually declined to get involved with the group’s off-field antics, preferring instead to watch.

“Some of the stuff that was going on with those guys, it was carnage,” he laughed.
