BRIEF HISTORY OF WEST HAM UNITED EPISODE 2

Thames Ironworks FC ceases to be and West Ham United is Born.
Who were the founding fathers of the club?

I live in Manchester, and watch non league football, but back in the 60s and 70s I always enjoyed watching West Ham on tv or whenever they played at Old Trafford or Maine Road. They always played open attacking football and had some great players, Moore, Brooking, Bonds, Best, and on, and on. So watching this potted history of what was to me the premier London club, is a sheer pleasure. Thank you.

we had a dream team then. But we did not win much .

[@billmorris8358]

That's why I was so chuffed that they won the cup in 1975

Great vid. From a Forest fan born in Walthamstow:) cheers for the effort. We can all appreciate the hard work gone into the research.

Fascinating to hear about the start of the involvement of the Cearns family with our great club. I too was a shareholder until the Icelandic takeover - owning all of one whole share !! 😎

Very nicely done, thank you. I was born into a Hammers family - my Grandparents were from Canning Town and my Gt Gt Grandfather worked as an Iron Boat Builder. I'd love to think it was for TIW but i doubt I'll ever know for sure. My own claims for fame are I was at school with Paul Ince; my brother who is older was at school with George Parris and my Dad played at the same tennis club as Trevor Brooking!

Another very interesting video Nigel and it was also great to listen to you on Irons United elaborating on the beginnings of West Ham too, you're doing a great job and it looks like we will all get to learn a lot more about West Ham with every new video!!

I was born into a big part of West Ham and I’m honoured to be a cearns

Wonderful video, I look forward to learning more. I have a family connection with Plaistow, the Deering family & strangely have always had a liking for West Ham.
