Russell Brand reveals his dad broke his ribs celebrating West Ham's Conference League win

talksport.com, 8 June 2023, 19:28
Russell Brand has revealed his celebrations of West Ham's Conference League triumph were a little enthusiastic as they led to his dad breaking some ribs.

Hammers fans far and wide are still celebrating their 2-1 win over Fiorentina, with Jarrod Bowen's 90th-minute strike sealing the victory late on.

It's West Ham's first major trophy in 43 years and celebrations are understandably going to be filled with passion among fans, however, Brand admits his dad they got a little over-exuberant at his home.

"Sometimes I feel it's a little bit difficult to calibrate, to absorb it," Brand said on White and Jordan.

"I was there with my dad, Ron Brand, all my mates that are West Ham fans and a few others...

"My dad broke his ribs, it might be worse than that, he's not answered his phone this morning!

"He broke his ribs celebrating. He leapt up and obviously you can see I'm a strapping man and when I embrace someone that's it you may very well lose some skeletal infrastructure.

"I think he got into a pew, a repurposed pew, and Ronnie Brand took one on the ribs.

"I hope he's okay. If you're listening, Dad, I hope you're well. Answer the phone."

Get well soon, Ron!
