  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Although statistical sources including Soccerbase and Spector's West Ham profile give him two league goals for the club, his first West Ham "goal", against Derby County in November 2007, was credited as an own goal by the Dubious Goals Panel, so the figure of one league goal in total is correct.[4][5]
