West Ham's Carlton Cole praised captain Scott Parker for his "inspirational" half-time pep talk as the Hammers came from 3-0 down to draw with West Brom.
Cole, who suffered a mouth injury as he scored the second of West Ham's three goals, said Parker's passion spurred them on to fight back.
"We were diabolical but at half-time Scott was inspirational," said Cole.
"Scott was in the zone - I've never seen him like that. If you were there you would have had a tear in your eye."
Cole's goal added to Demba Ba's double as West Ham clawed their way back from 3-0 down at half-time to claim a valuable point in their quest for Premier League survival.
But, according to Cole, West Ham are indebted to their captain for his rousing locker-room monologue.
"Scott Parker showed a lot of passion in the changing room and it spurred us on," said Cole. "We did not want to disappoint ourselves, the manager, our families and the fans.
"I know you could say that if you are a professional footballer then you should have that in you anyway, but sometimes you need your captain to step up like that."
I see Demba Ba is doing well there... Shame we weren't in for him, I think he's a good player especially for that price. A regular goal threat even when he's not playing directly as a striker, which we definitely need the most right now.

The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
