- Frédéric Kanouté joins Chris and guest host Anton Ferdinand this week on Iron Cast and it's a classic.
Freddie tells some brilliant stories about his time at West Ham, from Razor Ruddock in the changing rooms to the language struggles of East London.
Freddie also opens up on the truth behind his controversial transfer north of the river to arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in 2003.
Now working as an agent managing emerging football talent, Kanouté has his say on Mohamed Kudus’ chances of winning African Footballer of The Year, something Freddie managed back in 2007.

Loved it when he was with us, such a silky, graceful yet powerful footballer, and a great finisher.
Quite similar to Henry in style but far more humble and gracious in personality. Love the way he can recall matches he played for us over 20 years ago.
Great interview guys!⚒️
Freddie & di canio dangerous pair great touch great awareness and natural goal scorers one of the best strike partners we had.
What a great player, still remember watching his debut at Wimbledon, scored a great goal but will always be remembered for Di Canio's worldie - top top player!!!
Kanoute.....Always a name that pops back in my head as a player I wish we had now
What a genuinely lovely guy. Glad to see him back here for a chat.
Freddie Kanoute was a monster.
Absolute legend.At Sevilla he was a monster
Kanoute was a total enigma of a player. Some weeks he was unplayable and I thought he was going to go up a level and then he’d have a poor game. It wasn’t a complete surprise he reached the level he did at Seville but I never saw him as being as prolific as he became. There was always a player there though.
He speaks really well and comes across as a good bloke. Enjoyed that interview.
We all think of the sliding doors moment against Arsenal. Especially the context - they had won a silly number of games in a row and were untouchable (invincible the following season) and yet we played so well against them (on top for large parts and a penalty conversion away from winning) - did to them what they had been doing to others - and without our star player (Di Canio was injured, I think? Hence Kanouté took the pen). People think I'm crazy when I say "if we didn't go down that season, we would've been European regulars and title contenders". We finished 5th a couple of seasons earlier and that was before Cole, Carrick, Defoe, Johnson were really in the team. Di Canio was wanted by Alex Ferguson, and the first purchase in the Abramovich Chelsea era was our teenager Johnson, followed by Joe Cole. Houllier at the time loved Cole and Carrick, and tipped us to challenge at the top. You'll never see a relegated team have all their players snapped up by the teams at the top of the league. We could've been a real force for the next decade. Look at the kind of goals we used to score back then. Honestly sexy football. Now we're somehow supposed to be content with top half and Europa Conference. I understand why Roeder dropped Di Canio for speaking out but the club needed him to survive! *sighs* What could've been.
That, and how refreshing to have so many of our youngsters treating it up in the league. So many England stars.

This is that day. Just look at the shot from Sinclair before the game has even warned up. Henry got them out of jail with an amazing goal. Context: this was an untouchable Arsenal team and we should've won even without our best player and with youngsters.
I met Freddie in Dubai. Excellent player. Di Canio's unsung partner.
Loved Kanoute, he had this knack of dribbling out of tight spaces and leaving players for dead over 5/10 yards. (How did Lyon not see his potential )
This is a great series.. enjoyed last week and this... Freddie was great
Loved Freddie Kanoute ⚒
Love Freddie topman
Great player. I had never seen a player jump so high and control the ball on his chest ! Sebastien Haller was the only other West Ham player I have seen do this. Was gutted when he went to Spurs but at least we got the Z man in exchange
Close but no cigar... Zamora was part of a swap with Defoe, not Kanoute..
Speaks extremely well.
Mo kudus 🔥 ❤
Brilliant chat n players cheers
Those were the days. West Ham actually played with strikers.
I remember that debut game so well! It's almost a shame that Paulo scored that pinger as otherwise that game could have been remembered for one of the all time great debut's! He was sensational.
Dont know if I can ever quite forgive him for the move to N17 though 😂
Fantastic video! Thank you
Sadly it was the same year that the winter transfer window was implemented. I think we got caught out because normally you can deal with injuries by buying someone but the winter window meant you had to plan for injuries before hand. So it just turned into a car crash in slow motion. I think that’s the reason we got relegated with the most points ever.
This. I have said this to many people in the past. We basically didn’t adapt to it. We needed a full back and a striker for months but when we could eventually sign Brevett and Sir Les in January we were already bang in trouble.
didn’t recall that Sir Les Patterson ever played for us 🤣🤣
Great player
So Freddie speaks better English than Anton?
Couldn't get away from him. Six of us went to Barca to see them play Sevilla...and who scores for Sevilla?
Never heard him speak… speaks English better than Anton
This chap has won most of the uefa trophies and league titles with sevilla. He aint no slouch
He'd be worth £50m in today's game.
We need a striker like Freddie Kanoute now but if we had one Moyse would leave him on the bench until the 90th minute.
Or on the left wing
No Moyes will play him in the central defence.Moyes out now
We could do with a player like Freddie now! Although, Dave would probably play him centre half.
MOYSE OUT NOW.
When he was transferred from Spurs and went to Spain frankly I was surprised. I always thought Kanoute was an underrated forward that played on relatively poor teams in the Premier League
We all know Kudus is a baller but sadly he'll never win the African Footballer of the Year award, not when you've got Salah and Mane etc still playing anyway
Sadly Salah will most probably win it every year these days but with Mane now wasting his life over in Saudi, you'd hope that our starboy will at least get a nomination #COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️
Ape lan jiao
Moyes has to go now, we've had enough of it all.
MOYES OUT TONIGHT
I wonder where the clueless manager would play him ? left wing, right back or in goal ... please let this rubbish end soon !
Love Anton ⚒️ the interviewer total helmet, as for FK he couldn’t FK off quick enough to tott 💩,
Moyes out!!!!
