Street style and terrible
James Collins is determined to prove he has the style to keep West Ham in the Premiership.
Collins, a powerful, dominant centre-back, has found his chances limited at West Ham since signing from Cardiff in the summer of 2005. But after putting a run of injuries behind him he is developing into a key figure in the Hammers' late charge for survival.
Former West Ham manager Alan Pardew once described Collins' dress sense as "street style and terrible".
But Collins stands his ground. "What it is about my gear is that the boys are too scared to admit they like it. They haven't got the guts to wear what I do."
