Formed 117 years ago under the name "Thames Ironworks FC", West Ham United have always been a club who have wanted to do things the right way. But the right way has cost them in recent years.
From playing a large part in England's 1966 world cup winning team, where the legendary Bobby Moore captained the squad, Geoff Hurst scoring a hat-trick, and a goal from Martin Peters whom all played for The Hammers. To collecting 3 FA Cup's, a Charity Sheild, a European Cup Winners Cup. To the ups and downs of relegation, and the potential upset of administration. The famous West Ham United would always be a proud club, who would fight to the end, whether it be controversy surrounding hooliganism or controversy surrounding fielding illegal players, the mighty claret and blue would always make the headlines.
So here I go, a die hard Hammers fan trying to change the story into a fairy tale, reaching that one goal we've always been dreaming of like any club... success.
