Nolan’s first-half goal gave West Ham United a 1-0 win over Alan Pardew’s side yesterday.
Kevin Nolan: “I’m delighted with the reception, and I’d like to thank them very much.
“It was emotional. I got quite a good reception coming off the bus. I was expecting a few boos.
“Seeing everyone, the old legs went to jelly. I had to compose myself and get ready for a game.
“As soon it normally hits the back of the net, the chicken (goal celebration) usually starts coming, but I wasn’t doing that.
“I said I wouldn’t celebrate, no matter what. I’m true to my word. Everyone knows I’m an honest lad.
“But I was absolutely delighted to get on the scoresheet and win the game. It was important. I’m just delighted to get a solid performance and a nice tap-in.”
