Ahmed Hossam Hussein Abdelhamid - better known as Mido - is one of football's most famous bad boys, having fallen out with virtually every club for whom he has worked.

However having told West Ham that he would play for just £1,000-a-week, David Sullivan decided to take a punt on a player who lists Ajax, Roma and Tottenham amongst his former clubs.

West Ham become the eleventh club for whom Mido has played - not bad for someone who, at time of joining, is still just 26.

2009/10 Match Notes & Ratings

2-2 v Everton (a) 1st April 2010
by Staff Writer

Still without a goal, still with many question marks hanging over his head. Rightfully hauled off.

0-1 v Stoke City (h) 27th March 2010
by East Stand Martin

Offered little and even wasted a great chance when he somehow found himself behind the Stoke defence.

1-2 v Bolton Wanderers (h) 6th March 2010
by Gordon Thrower

(Replaced Franco, 67 mins) Came on for Franco. Apparently.

0-3 v Manchester United (a) 23rd February 2010
by Staff Writer

(Replaced Franco, 46 mins) Looked unfit and nowhere near breaking his Hammers deadlock.

3-0 v Hull City (h) 21st February 2010
by Daniel Prescott

(Replaced Cole, 79 mins) Came on with the game won. Will get a goal sooner rather than later.

3-0 v Hull City (h) 21st February 2010
by East Stand Martin

(Replaced Cole, 79 mins) His appearance was more about clocking up game time and match fitness.

3-0 v Hull City (h) 21st February 2010
by Gordon Thrower

(Replaced Cole, 79 mins) His appearance was more about clocking up game time and match fitness.

2-0 v Birmingham City (h) 10th February 2010
by Gordon Thrower

A decent start to his Hammers career. Still a bit rusty but there were encouraging signs there.

1-2 v Burnley (a) 6th February 2010
by Rob Chapman

(Replaced McCarthy, 46 mins) For quite a while in the second half he seemed the most likely to score. Made a constant nuisance of himself and looked keen as mustard. Nearly on the score sheet twice. Encouraging start.
