Miklosko made almost 400 appearances for the Hammers from 1990 to 1998 and was much loved by supporters, who regularly sang his name long after he left the club.

He later returned as a goalkeeping coach.

Miklosko withdrew from cancer treatment in December 2024, three years after his diagnosis.

Days later he returned to West Ham's London Stadium for a Premier League match against Liverpool to a hero's reception.

"Rest in peace Ludek, our beloved, inspirational goalkeeper and gentle giant of a man."
