West Ham United FC Summary
West Ham United F.C. Crest
West Ham United is an English football club based in the borough of Newham in East London. They currently play in the English Premier League, having finished 9th at the end of the 08/09 season.
West Ham’s youth system is also well-renowned and has brought a number of prominent British players to light, resulting in the other descriptive nickname for the club, The Academy of Football.
In honor of its origins as a group of iron workers the team is referred to by the nicknames The Hammers and The Irons, and the club crest is an image of the front of the old ironworks with a pair of crossed hammers in the forefront. The fact that the word ‘hammer’ sounds like ‘ham’ is simply a fortunate coincidence.
The club was formed originally in 1895 by the workers of Thames Ironworks under its original name, Thames Ironworks FC. The team remained an amateur group for the next few years, achieving considerable success. They won the first West Ham Charity Cup in 1895, a tournament of local teams, and the London League in 1897.
West Ham United Manager
West Ham’s current manager is Italian Gianfranco Zola, who won great acclaim in English football as an attacking midfielder and forward for Chelsea in years previous. Zola was well known for his aggressive, dedicated offensive play and his creativity and technical prowess with the ball. He became West Ham’s manager at the beginning of the past season(08-09) and his positive effects became quickly evident, with a focus on creative passing, quick-thinking tactical play and positive, attack-heavy football showing through and bringing new life to a famous and storied team.
The team’s traditional colours are claret(a deep red) and light blue, the latter usually on the sleeves. The current season’s home kit features a check pattern on the shirt and blue trim rather than full sleeves for a change of pace(which helps also to differentiate their shirts from the nearly identical kit of Aston Villa), and the away shirt is a dark blue with a light blue stripe, a reference to the all-dark blue kit that was the original shirt worn by the team.
In 1898 Thames Ironworks FC became a professional team, joining the old Southern League’s second division, and ascending to first division shortly thereafter. Due to internal problems the team disbanded, but reformed as West Ham United in July of 1900.
West Ham United Stadium
The Hammers play at the Boleyn Ground, more commonly called Upton Park after the area of East London in which it is located. The stadium has been their home since 1912, when the team established themselves at the grounds of the old Green Street House, which was known also as Boleyn Castle due to its size and association with Anne Boleyn. This later became known as the Boleyn Ground. The stadium seats 35,303 at top capacity and is arranged in the familiar rectangular design of English football grounds, with tiered seating sections outlining the field at right angles to one another. The second world war had its effects shown in East London when a German V-1 rocket struck the stadium in August of 1944, fortunately while the park was unoccupied. The team played all of its games away until December when its repairs were completed.
West Ham played in the new Division 1 during the Premiership’s inaugural season in 1992-93, finished in second and was promoted to the Premier League for the following season, where it has remained with the exception of the ’03-’04 season.
Manchester United Brief Summary
Manchester United Crest
Manchester United F.C. is a football club playing in the English Premier League. They are one of the most popular and successful football teams in the world, as well as the richest of any sport.
Manchester United are popularly known as The Red Devils, Man U, or Man Utd.
Man U’s history begins in 1878 when the club was formed, and known then as Newton Heath L&YR F.C., a worker’s football team from Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. In 1902 the team fell into financial turmoil, until a large investment by J.H. Davies, a local brewer, saved the club. They started fresh, with a new name: Manchester United.
Since the new beginning in 1902, Man U has had a few struggles, but that is overshadowed by their enormous success.
Between World War I and World War II the team juggled between victory and failure, moving back and forth from the first division to the second division. After WWII, the team has been nothing short of spectacular, being regulated from the top division only once.
Man Utd have won 18 domestic league championships, tying them with Liverpool for the most. They have also won many other honours, both domestically and internationally.
The club has produced some of the most historic, and recognizable names in football. Matt Busby, Bobby Charlton, Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Christiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, just to scratch the surface.
Manchester United Stadium
The home of the Red Devil’s is Old Trafford, and has been since 1910. The stadium has also been given the name, "The Theatre of Dreams," by Manchester United’s famous manager Sir Matt Busby. The stadium itself has had an intriguing history. At the beginning of World Ward II, it was used as a depot for the army, and football competition continued there just as before. Then, in December 1940, it was damaged by a German air raid. Play was temporary moved until the following March, when only a few days later it was bombed a second time, rendering it useless. Man U did not play anymore games at Old Trafford until it was repaired in 1949.
After years of rebuilding and renovation, Old Trafford has become biggest stadium of any English Premier League team, with 76,212 seats. Old Trafford is a 5-star rated, "Elite" UEFA stadium, meaning it meets the high standards of UEFA to hold the Champions League Final.
Manchester Utd Manager
Sir Alex Ferguson is the current manager of Manchester United. Before his managing days, he was a striker with several professional teams throughout Scotland. His managing career began in 1974, at the relatively early at the age of 32. Ferguson earned ?40 a week for managing East Stirlingshire. From there he quickly moved up the ranks, joining more prestigious clubs. By 1985 he was chosen as manager of Scotland’s national team.
Fergie’s stint as Scotland’s manager was short lived, as he took over the managerial duties at Manchester United in 1986. It was a slow start, but soon, with Sir Alex at the helm, Man U began to flourish. During his career at Manchester Utd., Ferguson has won the English Premier League eleven times, the League Cup three times, the FA Cup five times, the Champions League twice, and many other various championship wins. In the 1998-99, under his leadership, the Red Devils won the Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, a feat never accomplished by any other club. He was knighted in 1999 and inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.
