About West Ham United FC
West Ham United were formally founded in the July of 1900 after five years as Thames Ironworks Football Club. The winners of three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup, the ‘Hammers’ lay claim to the Academy of Football, renowned for its development of prodigious talent and an illustrious list of England internationals. West Ham’s very own Bobby Moore led England to FIFA World Cup glory at Wembley in 1966, with fellow Hammers Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters scoring the Three Lions’ four goals. Following 112 years spent at the historic Boleyn Ground in Upton Park, the Club is set to embark on a momentous move to the iconic former Olympic Stadium (pictured above) in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this summer.
