Weirdist Hammer of the Year winner ever.
Had a great season, had a poor second season then went to Portsmouth for one year then disappeared, never to be seen again.
Where is he now?

Was it that weird he won it? He had a great season, as you say.
Big drop off afterwards. Ilunga was very similar several years later. Brilliant left back for a season, then complete gash from then on.

He reminded me of Illunga. One good season and then faded into obscurity.

You could make a case for Cresswell being a similar but less extreme version of the same thing.

He's in Luxembourg at his restaurant/brasserie called Upton Park in a shopping centre in Esch-sur-Alzette, which is about 25 minutes by train from the capital.
I went there while on a weekend in Luxembourg nearly three years ago. Schemmel was there and is a lovely bloke. Had a great burger in there.

Can concur with OTB - I went there when I went to Luxembourg. His place is great, and he’s a really nice bloke. Absolutely loves West Ham

Archie Gemmell - Schemmel?
He was paraded on the pitch after the final game at Upton Park

Yes Huffers.
No one to my knowledge knows what the connection is between Seb and a Scottish footballer old enough to be his dad, apart from a sound a like surname.
Schemmell is reputed to have said " Who is zees Archie?" when told about his nickname.
Our younger fans will be none the wiser I expect.

I went there a couple of months back. No Seb but some of the worst food I have ever had the misfortune to consume! I think that he has copied the food served at Upton park to add to the authenticity. Shame, nice bloke from what I gather but no restauranteur.

Should never have cut his hair. Didn't he do it as a losing bet between him and Sinclair - if Sincs scored in the last match of the season he had to cut it all off, and Trev promptly did?
