West Ham defender Ben Johnson has set the record straight about a snap of him appearing to shirk dressing room duties.

One of the best West Ham photos of the season shows captain Mark Noble after David Moyes's team had won at Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final last month.

Noble had played just the final 13 minutes but the picture shows him wearing a towel and flip flops, sweeping up the mess in the away dressing room.

"I am actually in the background of that photo and it looks like I am refusing to help," Johnson told the Daily Mail.

"I got hammered by my mates but I have actually mucked in all this season. He does it every game but he wasn't at Brentford the week before that and I was about to get on the coach when I could suddenly see his face in my mind. So I turned round and did it.

"If he isn't there, then who is gonna do it? Coming from the academy and knowing he has put so much time and effort into me, the least I can do is carry it on. What he has done for me and my family has been wonderful."
