The only other player that West Ham has had in the past decade that could even hold a candle to the performance that Payet had last
season was Carlos Tevez and his
magical goal scoring run at the
end of the 2006 - 07
season to keep West Ham in the Premier League, but Payet's goal scoring, free kicks, and passing led the Hammers to amazing heights that haven't been reached since the 1980s or the FA Cup win in 1980.
