West Ham United news
The Hammers are the pride of the East End of London and play at the Boleyn Ground although their home is more commonly referred to as Upton Park.
West Ham have been in the Premier League for the last three years after two seasons in the Championship but have been unlucky to produce and then lose current England stars like Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Joe Cole.
The Hammers also produced England World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore who lifted the trophy at Wembley in 1966.
Other notable former West Ham stars include Trevor Brooking and Geoff Hurst, who hit a hat-trick against West Germany in the World Cup final win, while current performers include Craig Bellamy, Dean Ashton and Kieron Dyer.
