West Ham gifts – For Hammers Fans!
Have you walked along Green Street on a Saturday afternoon? Have you joined the throng of claret and blue walking towards the gates of the Boleyn Ground (Upton Park) Then I suspect you’re a Hammers Fan and proud to be a Cockney Boy.
West Ham United started life as the Thames Ironworks in 1895 and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. Former players include football legends such as Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Trevor Brooking, Phil Parkes, Julian Dicks, Martin Peters and Paulo Di Canio. West Ham have a massive fan base and are one of the best loved football teams in the UK.
During the 2005–06 season, the Hammers reached FA Cup final, taking favourites Liverpool to a penalty shootout after a thrilling three-all draw. Although West Ham lost the shootout, they gained entry to the UEFA Cup, a great boost for West Ham supporters.
West Ham’s current manager is GianFranco Zola. Zola played for many years for West Ham rivals Chelsea FC. He was also a hero of the Italian national side.
Recently the club has been bought by David Sullivan and David Gold after the previous owners left the club in debt due to the collapse of the Icelandic banks
West Ham gifts includes toy bears, clothing, games, fan dolls, footballs, flags, kits and scarfs. The club has a shop within the Boleyn ground. There are plans to move the stadium to a site in Stratford after the Olympic games in 2012.
How about this for a great West Ham gift. The West Ham No.1 Fan is 23cm tall, wears a replica shirt and jeans and loves his team as much as he loves his dear old mum. As well as waving his scarf and swinging his hips, the West Ham No.1 Fan sings the following chants:
‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles’, ‘West Ham ‘Til I Die’, ‘We All Follow The West Ham’, ‘Come on You Irons’ and ‘East, East, East London!” – The chants were sung by season ticket holding fans.
