West Ham are right in the thick of a Premier League relegation scrap alongside several other big sides this season, fierce rivals Tottenham among them. With the games ticking down, the Hammers climbed outside the relegation zone with a 4-0 thrashing of Wolves and a goalless draw at Crystal Palace.

While momentum may have taken a hit with defeat to Leeds United in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Premier League survival is ultimately the main aim ahead of facing Everton next up on 25 April – the latest in a string of ‘must-win’ games for Nuno Espirito Santo.

WEST HAM HONOURS BOARD

THE ACADEMY OF FOOTBALL

Founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks, West Ham United is the beating heart of East London. Moving to the Boleyn Ground in 1904, the club cultivated a reputation for stylish, “proper” football, famously providing the spine of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning side in **Moore, Hurst, and Peters**.

The 1960s and 70s were the golden era under **Ron Greenwood** and **John Lyall**, yielding three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup. After decades of “yo-yo” years and a controversial move to the **London Stadium** in 2016, the Hammers finally broke a 43-year trophy drought in 2023, lifting the **UEFA Conference League** in Prague. Today, despite boardroom turmoil, West Ham remains a global icon of working-class grit and technical flair.
