| Mark James Noble (born 8 May 1987) is an English former professional footballer who currently serves as sporting director of Premier League club West Ham United. A boyhood fan of the club, Noble spent eighteen years with West Ham as a central midfielder, serving as club captain for seven seasons. Aside from two brief loan spells at Hull City and Ipswich Town in 2006, Noble played all of his first team football for the club, earning him the nickname "Mr West Ham".
Noble has the most Premier League appearances for West Ham, in addition to being the longest serving player in the squad at the time of his retirement, having been in the first team since 2004. He won the club's Hammer of the Year trophy twice, as well as being voted Hammer of the Decade at the end of the 2010s.
Noble represented England at U16, U17, U18, U19 and U21 levels, captaining the U21 side, scoring three goals in 20 games.
Known for his proficiency in scoring penalty kicks, in 2020, Noble was rated as the player with the second highest conversion rate for penalties in the world over the last 20 years. His 90.5% conversion rate was only beaten by Robert Lewandowski's rate of 91.1%.
Following his retirement from the professional game, Noble returned to West Ham as sporting director in January 2023. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
