Video: Growing up as a Hammer

Young Hammers fan and one time mascot Aidan Dowler is a season ticket holder at London Stadium and shared his memories of growing up supporting West Ham in the second episode of the club’s series celebrating the club’s 125th-year anniversary.

The first episode centres on Colin Cornell, a West Ham fan of 63 years, who has therefore supported the Club for over half of its entire history.

The East London local and active Any Old Irons member discusses his earliest memories of Boleyn Ground, his time spent following the Irons on the road, his attendance of European finals and showpiece occasions – and his optimism for the Claret and Blue future.

To commemorate West Ham United’s 125th anniversary year – it was in 1895 that Thames Ironworks FC were formed – West Ham TV are celebrating the unique anecdotes, memories and connections which have bound supporters to the Club for life.

Throughout the mini-documentary series, they will speak to Hammers fans, young and old, about their memories following their beloved West Ham United.
