For a brief, glorious few months Dimitri Payet might have been considered the best player in the Premier League.

West Ham have a habit of nurturing out-of-the-box attacking talent – think Paolo Di Canio, Joe Cole or Felipe Anderson.

But for periods in the 2015/16 season, Payet was the best of the lot.

It was on this day in 2015 that he joined from Marseille and the Boleyn Ground had rarely seen anything like it.

The club have marked that four year anniversary with a highlights reel of his best bits – and they truly are magnificent.

We all know how it ended, but West Ham fans – don’t be sad it’s over, just be happy that it happened in the first place.
