About this book

WEST HAM and Fiorentina are locked at 1 – 1, with extra time looming. Every Hammers fan in the stands is on their feet. Lucas Paquetá threads the ball through to Bowen — he’s in. Can he do it? Goal! The stadium erupts. David Moyes sprints down the touchline, fists in the air. Around the ground, grown men hug strangers, sing, cry, collapse to their knees. West Ham lead in a European final with seconds to play.

Follow the story of West Ham United Football Club through a book of authentic newspaper articles and reports dating back to 1904. This edition charts the club’s history — exactly as it they was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The 1 – 0 FA Cup triumph over Arsenal in 1980
– The unforgettable Boys of ’86 finishing third in the league
– Victory in the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League Final
– Historic matches, legendary players, and unforgettable Upton Park nights
– Highlights from the most recent seasons
