Guy has been arrested.

Sounds like he was out to make sure Davenport never plays again, stabbing him in both legs is a bit suspicious.

[Nemesis 277]

wow I just got to say what is this world coming to he & his mother were stabbed!!!

[StevenDavis 112]

Too many cunts going about attacking folk with knives.

The other day some bastard attacked a 13 year old girl with a knife near where I live. Prick.

All the best to Calum though, he's only 26 iirc, not a good time to end your career.

You're a cybic.

Aye, i agree though, botched robbery or whatever more than likely just to stab in the body but him having his 2 legs done.

Sounds very much like he's pissed someone off with something. Shoicking about his mum though.

A man is being held on suspicion of attempted murder after a West Ham United player was stabbed in the legs.

Calum Davenport in action for West Ham United

The 25-year-old man was arrested in Derby, and a second man is also in custody.

Calum Davenport, 26, and his mother were attacked at the family home in Bedford.

They are both in a "serious condition" in hospital.

Bedfordshire Police said the man was due to be escorted to Bedford for questioning.

A spokeswoman for the force said a 19-year-old man arrested earlier remains in custody in the town's Greyfriars police station.

West Ham released a statement on the stabbing which read: "West Ham United can confirm that Calum Davenport was being treated in hospital on Saturday afternoon after an incident late on Friday night.

"The 26-year-old defender and his mum both suffered stab wounds at home in Bedford.

"His mum is recovering while Calum underwent surgery this morning and his injuries were described as serious by doctors.

"The club's medical team are in contact with hospital staff.

"The thoughts of everyone at West Ham are with Calum and his family and, due to the ongoing police investigation, no further information will be released at this time."

Neighbours said they heard shouting in the street on the night of the stabbing.

One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said she was woken up at 5am by shouting and arguing outside the house.

She said: "There was a lot of shouting going on. I heard a bloke say, 'She is the mother of my child'.

"There was screaming going on from a woman. She said 'There's blood everywhere'."

The neighbour said she then heard a man's voice saying he had called an ambulance.

She could hear a small group of people, which she thought was two men and a woman aged approximately in her late 20s, the woman said.

Davenport is former England Under-21 international and joined the Hammers in the summer for £3m.

I just saw this on the BBC3 news!

I hope they're both okay - must have been someone who knew who he was - why else would you stab a man in the legs unless it was part of his livelihood... dirty bastards!

[HashPizza 198]

That attack is very sickening, they obviously went for his legs so he couldn't play football.

[nemisis 358]

And they went for his mother so he couldnt get his washing done.
