Declan Rice Shares Hilarious ‘King Kong’ Story About Former West Ham Teammate

Declan Rice, the England and Arsenal midfielder, recently shared a humorous anecdote about his former West Ham teammate, Rihards Matrevics, affectionately known as 'King Kong'. The story, which has captured the attention of football fans, revolves around a memorable incident at a Nando's restaurant. Rice recounted how Matrevics, a towering Latvian goalkeeper, once caused a stir by attempting to order a large amount of food, leading to a comical misunderstanding with the staff.

The tale not only highlights the lighter side of football but also showcases the camaraderie among players. Rice and Matrevics, who played together at West Ham before the latter's departure, are set to reunite in an upcoming England match, adding an emotional layer to their story. Rice's recounting of the 'King Kong' nickname and the Nando's episode has brought smiles to fans and provided a glimpse into the off-field dynamics of footballers.
