West Ham keeper Ruud Boffin has the answers as reserve comes into the equation
Ruud Boffin, the goalkeeper with a crazy name, finally made his West Ham debut at Blackburn, three months after joining from Maastricht.[LNB] The 23-year-old deadline-day signing had to play after injuries to No 1 Rob Green and his deputy, Czech Marek Stech. [LNB]It was lucky that Boffin didn't get injured himself as on the bench was Jake Larkins, a 16-year-old, fresh out of the club's Academy and without a start in the reserves.

The Belgian enjoyed a pressure-free first half and when he was called into action at the start of the second period he pulled off a superb, point-blank save from Ryan Nelsen, only to see the defender grab the opener off his knee, following the rebound.[LNB] Blackburn 1 West Ham 1: I'll beat the Christmas jinx, insists under-fire Grant, after Stanislas grabs pointHammer horror!
