They play at the Boleyn Ground, which is known more commonly as Upton Park due to its location in the London district of the same name and the London Underground tube station used to travel to the football ground. They are nicknamed The Hammers by the media, but are better known as The Irons by their own fans
The team's supporters are famed for their passionate rendition of their team's anthem, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", the lyrics of which are as follows:
I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky
And like my dreams they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding, I looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air
United! United!
For England's World Cup winning side in 1966, West Ham provided the captain, Bobby Moore, and England's two goalscorers in the final, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst
