West Ham United Info
West Ham United F.C. Crest
West Ham United Manager
West Ham’s current manager is Italian Gianfranco Zola, who won great acclaim in English football as an attacking midfielder and forward for Chelsea in years previous. Zola was well known for his aggressive, dedicated offensive play and his creativity and technical prowess with the ball. He became West Ham’s manager at the beginning of the past season(08-09) and his positive effects became quickly evident, with a focus on creative passing, quick-thinking tactical play and positive, attack-heavy football showing through and bringing new life to a famous and storied team.
In 1898 Thames Ironworks FC became a professional team, joining the old Southern League’s second division, and ascending to first division shortly thereafter. Due to internal problems the team disbanded, but reformed as West Ham United in July of 1900.
The team’s traditional colours are claret(a deep red) and light blue, the latter usually on the sleeves. The current season’s home kit features a check pattern on the shirt and blue trim rather than full sleeves for a change of pace(which helps also to differentiate their shirts from the nearly identical kit of Aston Villa), and the away shirt is a dark blue with a light blue stripe, a reference to the all-dark blue kit that was the original shirt worn by the team.
The club was formed originally in 1895 by the workers of Thames Ironworks under its original name, Thames Ironworks FC. The team remained an amateur group for the next few years, achieving considerable success. They won the first West Ham Charity Cup in 1895, a tournament of local teams, and the London League in 1897.
West Ham played in the new Division 1 during the Premiership’s inaugural season in 1992-93, finished in second and was promoted to the Premier League for the following season, where it has remained with the exception of the ’03-’04 season.
West Ham United Stadium
The Hammers play at the Boleyn Ground, more commonly called Upton Park after the area of East London in which it is located. The stadium has been their home since 1912, when the team established themselves at the grounds of the old Green Street House, which was known also as Boleyn Castle due to its size and association with Anne Boleyn. This later became known as the Boleyn Ground. The stadium seats 35,303 at top capacity and is arranged in the familiar rectangular design of English football grounds, with tiered seating sections outlining the field at right angles to one another. The second world war had its effects shown in East London when a German V-1 rocket struck the stadium in August of 1944, fortunately while the park was unoccupied. The team played all of its games away until December when its repairs were completed.
West Ham’s youth system is also well-renowned and has brought a number of prominent British players to light, resulting in the other descriptive nickname for the club, The Academy of Football.
In honor of its origins as a group of iron workers the team is referred to by the nicknames The Hammers and The Irons, and the club crest is an image of the front of the old ironworks with a pair of crossed hammers in the forefront. The fact that the word ‘hammer’ sounds like ‘ham’ is simply a fortunate coincidence.
West Ham United is an English football club based in the borough of Newham in East London. They currently play in the English Premier League, having finished 9th at the end of the 08/09 season.
