Legends to be honoured at OS

West Ham will lay signature stones to their legends at the Olympic Stadium.

With West Ham seats being installed and outside, a legends area has now been created which will feature a new sculpture as well as large blocks for club legends voted for by fans.

Bobby Moore, Sir Trevor Brooking and Paolo Di Canio are among the heroes to be honoured

A club statement read:  “World Cup winning trio Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters head the list of those to be immortalised at the new Stadium, alongside decorated management duo Ron Greenwood and John Lyall,

“Long-serving legends Billy Bonds and Sir Trevor Brooking, who boast a remarkable nine Hammer of the Year accolades between them, will rightfully be celebrated in Champions Place too.

“Cult hero Julian Dicks, now a member of Slaven Bilic’s coaching staff, is among the eleven, together with the mercurial Paolo Di Canio, and, in his Testimonial year, Club captain Mark Noble earns his place in esteemed company.

“The dearly departed Dylan Tombides completes the line-up, as the second anniversary of his tragic passing approaches. The prodigiously talented Dylan, who lost his brave battle with testicular cancer in April 2014, will forever be remembered with great affection by the Club he loved.”
