It was undoubtedly Dimitri Payet's night at the West Ham end-of-season awards dinner, with the Hammers star picking up a remarkable five awards.
It appears his name was at the heart of the evening's soundtrack too, as videos reveal players, staff and fans alike singing his name at the top of their lungs.
Payet has had an incredible first campaign in east London, and the Frenchman scooped awards for Hammer of the Year, Players' Player of the Year, Signing of the Season, Top Goalscorer and Goal of the Season at the club's annual ceremony in Park Lane on Tuesday night.

Plenty of fans were in attendance, and footage has been uncovered on Twitter which shows manager Slaven Bilic and Cheikhou Kouyate both giving a raucous rendition of Payet's terrace chant.
To the tune of Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart, the chant reads: 'We've got Payet, Dimitri Payet! I just don't think you understand. He's Super Slav's man, he's better than Zidane. We've got Dimitri Payet!'
In one of the videos, posted by @Stef_whufc among others on Twitter, Payet is unable to speak to the audience at the ceremony above the din of noise being created by those in attendance.
One presenter attempts to calm the audience with a hush, but Payet appeared happy to take in the chant before addressing the crowd with a microphone.

West Ham's star players turned up at the London Hilton Hotel in Park Lane suited and booted for the ceremony, after a season which has seen them still in with a chance of a Champions League spot with three games to play in the Premier League.
And while Payet was barely in his seat as he dominated proceedings, West Ham dished out a number of other individual and team awards.
One of the highlights of the night was a lifetime achievement award for Hammers legend Sir Geoff Hurst.
The former West Ham striker is most famous for his hat-trick in the 1966 World Cup Final but he was honoured for his 13 years at the Boleyn Ground that brought him an incredible 242 goals, as well as his services to the club as an ambassador.
