West Ham United Football Club

West Ham United Football Club

World Cup winners' medals from West Ham's three 1966 stars are the pride of the east London club's collection.

The medals won by Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters are on display in the museum at the club's Upton Park home - as are others won by the club's most celebrated players.

Supporters' donations helped towards the £4 million cost of the museum.

The club dates its history back to 1895 and the formation of a football side by workers from the Thames Iron Works.

From the grainy photograph of boys knocking a ball about in the street to the artist's impression of the club's soon to be 40,000 seat stadium, this Museum not only traces the history of a football club, but that of the game itself.

On entering, visitors are greeted with a projected image of Arnold Hills, owner of the Thames Iron Works and Shipbuilding Company.
