July 30: The day this club became immortal !

330712_10150778605125693_6124978_oYes it really was 49 years ago today – and some of us reading this site in on July 30, 2015 were there.

World CupThat unforgettable moment in history when West Ham won the World Cup and till they ain’t got the message: “IT TAKES THREE IRONS TO WIN THAT TROPHY”

A crowd of 93,000 spectators – including the Queen and Prince Phillip – filled London’s Wembley Stadium to watch the host nation play West Germany in the final game of the 1966 championships.

Another 400 million people around the world watched the keenly fought match on television.

IT’S WHY THIS CLUB IS IMMORTAL TO SO MANY GLOBALLY!
