West Ham United F.C. goal records

The West Ham United F.C. goal records page on Wikipedia has not been updated since 20 January 2007 and this does not look very good with players such as Harewood and Sheringham shown as current. Is anyone able to put it all right? Rrsmac 23:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


Too many pages?

Why do West Ham have so many separate articles on Wikipedia? Is there really a need for separate articles for their goalscoring records, their appearance records, their hooligans, a detailed review of their current season, a timeline of the club, an explanation of the nickname of their youth development scheme, and a season-by-season overview? 84.92.8.221 14:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Whenever I create something new, some other wikipedian always comes along and decides to seperate it all up (the timeline used to be part of this article, the history was butchered into its current form by another one etc). However, in the end, wikipedia isn't limited by page numbers. So as long as there are people to maintain and update and create informative articles - then there will be lots of them.--Koncorde 20:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protect

I would suggest to semi-protect this article because there has been a lot of vandalism from non-registered users lately.

Trevor Hartley

Hi, I have initiated a small article on Trevor Hartley because he was for a very short time in managerial roles at Spurs ( I know another sad THFC supporter!). Anyhow I know little about his time at WHU as player apart from what was readily available on the www. So please add anything you think is relevant, thanks Tmol42 (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:1964 Cup final.jpg

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Infobox

Don't mean to revert and start a revert war off, but Sarumio is probably right to set the top name to the "short name" of the club (i.e. "West Ham Utd", or even "West Ham") and leave the full name below. In the case of teams such as "Portsmouth" and "Arsenal" it's obviously a little more contentious in that they are basically the same name as that of the town/area in which they exist. "West Ham United/Utd" however is clearly still representative of the team and common enough to recognise.A similar comment could be made about the intro to most of the football teams in England:

"West Ham United Football Club is an English football club".

It does look untidy to repeatedly tell the world that the football club is a football club who play their football in the football league against other football teams called football clubs. etc etcKoncorde (talk) 13:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

"Supporters" section

I've discovered a couple of excellent public domain photos of West Ham supporters from the 1920s/30s, but there's nowhere in the "Supporters" section to fit one. Would anyone object if one of the two huge blockquotes was moved/removed.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

No problem here - look forward to seeing them. Up to you but the Bubbles quote is quite adequately covered by the article I'm forever blowing bubbles and the Bow Bells song is, at best, historical. I've been following them since 1963 and I've never heard it on the terraces.--Egghead06 (talk) 16:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Just remembered I was meant to be doing the above - d'oh! Anyway, I managed to get a photo in without having to remove any of the song words......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:08, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Gianfranco Zola listed as manager

Zola is not the manager! they are still deciding. i was just wondering why he's listed as the manager, when he's never been confirmed as it!

The chairman of West Ham is Björgólfur Guðmundsson not the guy that is listed, he has nothing to do with West Ham. Look here:http://www.whufc.com/page/Staff/0,,12562,00.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.211.34 (talk) 14:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Timmy Mallett-gate

Some inexperienced wikipedia users seem to be insisting on adding this section to the Trivia section. The instruction in the big box to not add miscellaneous information in list format but to instead distribute throughout the article is obviously not clear enough for these editors. I am therefore campaigning for support for these so called editors to refrain from disobeying direct requests from Wikipedia and allow real editors to get on with their work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.215.105 (talk) 19:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

You have made up this name Mallett-gate to satisfy some need to put in this 7 year old non-notable and trivial info. Please stop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.37.8 (talk) 08:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I think the fact that the sources for this article are the BBC and a national newspaper and not the West Ham Chronicle suggest that this is a notable article and worthy of inclusion - especially when you compare these internationally known sources to most of the other sources used in the article. I am also following the wikipedia guidance to refrain from adding 'trivia' to a miscellaneous list which should be removed anyway. I therefore feel justified in undoing your edit - you have no right to remove my creative input just because IN YOUR OPINION it is not notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.146.153 (talk) 20:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Then it seems we just disagree. You put it in with it's own special made up sub-heading of Mallet-Gate and I move it to Trivia (as this vital info is described by West Ham) - then you move it back again. So we go on until until something or someone stops us. Your move next I believe? Is this what they call an edit war??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.131.128 (talk) 11:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes it is. Your argument is ridiculous. You can't cite West Ham's opinion that the matter was trivial as your justification for putting this entry into the trivia section. They aren't exactly an unbiased source are they? It would be like me citing Timmy Mallett as saying that it was of world-importance. I have used two entirely unbiased sources - the BBC and Guardian - who also happen to be national bodies. They clearly felt that the matter was of enough interest to the whole nation to write dedicated articles about the event. I therefore can't see that, using your current reasoning, your argument that this matter is simply trivia has any basis whatsoever. Find an unbiased source saying this is trivial and then maybe I might agree with you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.166.141 (talk) 10:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Zavon Hines

Zavon has been selected by England U-21s for an upcoming fixture. He has been previously selected by Jamaica but never played in the match. All this means that his little flag should be changed (if he plays) from Jamaica to that of England. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.136.221 (talk) 17:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Records

Tone of Troubled Zola season

This section is written more like journalistic comment than in an encyclopedic tone, and would benefit from more references. I'd fix it myself, but I'm not an expert on where to find these. Bearing in mind WP:BLP, we are talking about a living person here, and sources are required. Rodhullandemu 15:53, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Ilan and Mido not on the team list

Honours

I see that the Bobby Moore trophy and the SBOBET cup are included as honours, but these are one-off friendlies basically for advertisement. Should they really be included? I also remember West Ham beating Vitesse Arnhem for the Out Performance Display Trophy at Roots Hall in a similar pre-season match but this is not included.. should they be removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.7.253 (talk) 16:02, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

IMHO including these as 'trophies' is scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm all for removal.--Egghead06 (talk) 16:26, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
I'd agree, friendly honours such as these have no place in this section. Indeed I believe the whole BSOBET cup section should be removed as it gives undue prominence to a very minor competition. Dpmuk (talk) 08:58, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Removal of Miralem Sulejmani from current squad

I've removed this player from the squad list as although reliable sources (see Miralem Sulejmani) are reporting the move to be happening they're also stating that it's dependent on the granting of a work permit. It would seem, therefore, that he's not actually a West Ham player until the permit is granted and so is inclusion in the squad list is inappropriate. Dpmuk (talk) 22:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Trevor Brooking and Kevin Keen

Instead of toing and froing deleting and readding these two to the Managers section I have readded Keen as Brooking is there. Either both should be in or both out. For completeness I would put them in as they were both caretakers managers but if anyone has any strong reasons why not please add here.--Egghead06 (talk) 14:48, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

They should both be in. There's no alternative view that could convince me otherwise. They managed a game, they were interim managers officially according to the Board. There can be absolutely no other way of looking at it. Anonymous edits should be reverted and protection requested if need be. Koncorde (talk) 16:04, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Don't you think it's ridiculous to include Trevor Brooking and Kevin Keen (who only 'managed' the club for one match) in the manager list, when they were NEVER managers of West Ham United? I think it makes this wikipedia page look amatuerish and I can't understand the decision to change this. Please change is back to only include the thirteen official permanent West Ham United managers in the list. I beg you! Thanks, West Ham United supporter (anon). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.106.253.96 (talk) 20:43, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

No, it's entirely in-keeping with the official records of West Ham Utd to include the list of people that have managed the club even in a care taker role. Much like including Alan Shearer during his period in charge of Newcastle, or Stewart Houston, Pat Rice, Steve Burtenshaw at Arsenal, or Peter Taylor, Howard Wilkinson or Joe Mercer in their roles as England Manager. I'm also a West Ham fan, as I believe is Egghead. Koncorde (talk) 21:54, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Famous fans

Is it worth having a separate section for this (as per QPR and others)? There is a big list on Upton Lark [1], although some of those are surely debatable.

Famous people that could be considered West Ham fans include:

  • Michael Jackson, singer and musician

Nick Frost, actor and comedian

Elijah Wood is as big a fan of WH as Blair is of Newcastle !! Now Keira Knightley was taken to UP from a very early age by her Dad and is a fan. + David Essex, Kris Akabusi
Esprit 14:29, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, Elijah Wood was the main reason I said could ;-) I was going to look up the quotes and follow that up. I'll do that now. I have a copy of Hammers News (12.2 - Oct 2005) where they interview him. He is pictured wearing a West Ham shirt. The relevant questions are:
After the first game, people usually become Hammers' fans for life, was that the case for you?
I was definately hooked on the experience straight away, and if I was a sports fan then I'd probably be a die hard West Ham fan right now. The only thing is that I've never really followed sports, even in America. I normally only tend to get involved in sports when there is geniune human drama involved, like in Play-Offs or Cup Finals, because then there is something at stake which makes it more interesting for me.
Will you watch the Hammers' games in future or look out for their results?
I'll definately look out for their results. I think I may even do it subconsciously to a certain degree after being part of it. i know if I ever pick up an English magazine or newspaper I'll definately turn to the sports page and look for the Hammers' results because of the amazing experience I had at the club. It was a fascinating experience for me to be thrust into your world for even the short period of time that I was involved in it. To live in east London and get to know east London, after having hardly spent any time at all there, was an excellent experience.
I think Tony Blair is an Arse. He lived ten minutes from Highbury before becoming PM. [note: he probably isn't, I just couldn't resist the opportunity of that first sentence]

Ownership

This section of the page is absolutely dreadful. Terence Brown had a 37% shareholding in West Ham, he was not the owner, he did not even have a full controlling influence. About 85% of the club was owned by institutional shareholders (like Barclays Bank), Brown and the families of the club's founders. -- Crazyknight (talk) 14:06, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Olympic Stadium

In 2011 there is no way of verifying when/if West Ham will vacate the Boleyn Ground, when/if they will move to the Olympic Stadium, the final seating capacity of this stadium and certainly not what it will be after conversion to a football ground.--Egghead06 (talk) 07:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Nicknames

Only West Ham fans call them "The Acadamy" this should be stated on the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.186.127 (talk) 13:48, 12 November 2011‎

Rivalries

West Ham and Tottenham are not rivals from the Tottenham perspective. This is a deeply one sided rivalry that Tottenham fans do not recognise in the slightest. It would be like West Ham and Barnet suddenly having a deep hatred for one another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.186.127 (talk) 13:48, 12 November 2011‎

If that's the case, then please add references to a reliable published source to the article to confirm it. This 2003 survey (scroll down to the last couple of pages) suggests that West Ham fans regarded Tottenham as their 2nd-choice rival, after Millwall, and Spurs fans regarded West Ham as their 3rd rival, after Arsenal and Chelsea. Thing is, without supporting references, it's just an opinion that the rivalry is one-sided, and we're not here to report personal opinions. Though I think it's about time the existing contents of the section were properly sourced. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
There is a rivalry between the clubs and added refs show this. If some fans believe this is not so then this is their own view. Don't confuse the history and rivalry between the clubs and the views of fans - they are not always the same thing.--Egghead06 (talk) 16:11, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Squad table format

A discussion is being held here on the possibility of rolling out a new squad template. The new template, named {{football squad player2}}, differs from the standard squad layout in several ways:

  • It features a sort function
  • Comes in a single column format that can be understood by screen readers.
    • Single column format ensures that low resolution browsers, including mobile devices, do not get part or all of the second column cut off.
    • Single column format ensures less clutter, particularly at lower resolutions, for wide sections such as the Arsenal loan section.
  • It gives nationality its own column; at present flags are featured in a blank, untitled column
  • It complies with Wikipedia's guidance on flag usage.
  • It leaves enough space to add images of current players, an example of which can be seen at Watford F.C#Current squad.

It is proposed that the new template be added to some of Wikipedia's most high-profile club articles, which might include West Ham United F.C.. To give your thoughts, please read and contribute to the discussion at WikiProject Football.

There is some toing and froing re his flag icon. West Ham are now showing him with the US flag as they do Guy Demel the Ivorian flag even though he is a French citizen. Even though it irks me surely the US flag should be used until he gets picked by England if ever. Any comments?.REVUpminster (talk) 19:59, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Nicknames

Can we re-write the nicknames section, to bear more relevance to the actual fans idea of the nickname of the club.

As a West Ham United fan I consider the nickname of the club to be The Irons.

The Hammers is a nickname that come more from the media than the club/fans itself.

In fact I would also put The Academy of Football ahead of the Hammers in any list for the same reason.

Koos (talk) 12:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Irons tend to be used by older fans but Hammers is just as well used. I looked at an old official programme, incidently called Hammer, from 1971 which featured an airial photo of the Boleyn Ground titled The Home of the Hammers. As for academy I have never heard that shouted from the stands even at youth matches.REVUpminster (talk) 13:38, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
The Academy is usually only referenced by people like John Motson or in our promotional literature. It's less a nickname, and more just an honorific title.
As for which way around Hammers and Irons goes, there's references to both, and whichever way around it is is really not important given that the article has remained pretty much without complaint for 3 or 4 years now. We're almost universally referred to by 3rd parties as the Hammers regardless of our own popular term. In addition the WHUFC.com website makes numerous references to the Hammers primarily.[3] [4] Koncorde (talk) 18:32, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Birth of West Ham

Where does this statement come from:

The reborn club continued to play their games at the Memorial Grounds in Plaistow (funded by Arnold Hills) but moved to a pitch in the Upton Park area when the team officially severed ties with the company (losing their works provisioned offices in the process). After being made groundless in 1901 the team became transient, playing their home games on a number of local teams' grounds until moving to its current home, Upton Park (in the guise of the Boleyn Ground stadium), in 1904.

My book by Charles Korr makes no mention of being transit. It says at the end of 1904 season Hills told them to vacate the memorial grounds and their office at the thames ironworks..... moved to boleyn ground in may 1904....amalgamation of west ham united and boleyn castle football club..their best players to west ham reserves....four directors of boleyn castle to purchase stock in west ham and one or more to be elected to the board of west ham. I have truncated the book. Any comments??? REVUpminster (talk) 18:31, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

As it was likely me that wrote it, there's a chance I just conflated 1901 and 1904 or some such. You are right of course, as is your source, so no idea how it got to be wrong. Koncorde (talk) 21:40, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
In fact, having looked at the main history article, perhaps someone edited it after me as I clearly didn't say anything about being transient in 1901:

"The reborn club played their games at the Memorial Grounds in Plaistow (funded by Arnold Hills) but moved to a pitch in the Upton Park area when the team officially severed ties with the company[17] (losing their works provisioned offices in the process). The new ground was originally named "The Castle", for the 1904–05 season (a local pub in Plaistow to this day is called "The Castle"[25]) sited on a plot of land near Green Street House. The original gates to the ground, with the original Hammers crest (now painted in claret and blue), can be seen in Grange Road, London E13." Koncorde (talk) 21:43, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Ownership

This section,just expanded, regarding ownership needs qualifying as to what ownersip means. Control of West Ham by the Cearns was only because Hills never interfered as he was the majority shareholder up until his death and beyond with his family. owning 1100 shaes. 1142 of 4000 shares were unsold until 1961. REVUpminster (talk) 17:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

I did consider this when expanding it. As you say ownership as a term means little if technically the club is run by a company. From 1900 until Brown owned the club, 'control' was in the hands of the Cearns. Maybe it would be more accurate to change the heading to for example, Chairmen, directors and ownership? --Egghead06 (talk) 17:19, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Of course West Ham was a limited company run by the minority shareholders because of Hills disinterest. There were originally 10 directors from whom the chairman was elected. The Pratts and Cearns never owned fifty per cent of the club. It was more mafia than family (my joke). It was only when directors could be paid salaries, and not just dividends, that football clubs became valuable and the rot set in (my opinion). The book I use lists all the directors and their jobs up to Jack Petchey (property developer) 1978-. He sold his shares to Terry Brown who a few years later became chairman. Becoming a PLC let in the outsiders.REVUpminster (talk) 18:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Been having a go but had to alter Will Cearns to William J Cearns so as not confuse him with his son Will Cearns. Three of his four sons Will(W F Cearns , Len (L C Cearns), and Brian (Brian R Cearns) who were all directors. REVUpminster (talk) 16:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Squad list

I've changed this back to the sortable, table version. To me it looks better and is easier to amend but if anyone has any other views, please discuss.--Egghead06 (talk) 02:00, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Could you divide the table into two smaller ones, because the page is unnecessarily longer? I'd do it myself, but I don't know how to do it with this table, only with previous one. Zrinschchuck 8:52, June 10, 2013

Why did it need to change? The old table was perfectly good and had uniformity with the vast majority of football club squad lists. New table is far too long and pretty ugly looking i'm sorry to say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.121.16 (talk) 08:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Regardless of the abrupt instructions above........An editor (not me) created a sortable table and then we launch off on a series of reverts between the two.

  • Ensure consistency - make sure all you either have all "Division 1", 2, etc. or "Division One, Two etc. I've seen both in the article.
  • Crest and colours and Supporters, hooliganism and rivalries sections could do with some more referencing. Any given par should have a minimum of one ref...
  • Any extra info on the mile end mob can be added?
  • Maybe sprinkle some bits on key players to the team over various periods (e.g. in Glory Years)

Overall, nicely written and well on track to getting GA status. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for taking up this article.I am deeply sorry I am very late to respond.

  • They are all the same.Division 1 is same meaning as Division One.However in some cases like Southern Division 1 it is written as 1 only not one like Football League Two instead of Football League 2.
  • In glory years enough info has been provided like that of Bobby Moore and all..
It mentions what they were doing in the national team I guess, but it might be good noting how/what they did for the team itself.
Done
  • Provided reference in Crest
  • Can you please tell me what do you mean by "mile end mob"?
See the first sentence under Hooliganism - it doesn't specify whether thet are West Ham supporters or not....
They are West ham supporters http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1209028/Man-stabbed-West-Ham-Millwall-fans-brawl-outside-stadium.html

RRD13 (talk) 16:01, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Also - several other sections have no inline references at all (glory years and ups and downs) - I find double checking with reliable sources always good as you often find out other interesting info or some factual errors etc,

  • Have added some good refs to the Glory Years section.--Egghead06 (talk) 04:15, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
  • And made a start on the Ups and Downs.--Egghead06 (talk) 04:57, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

NB: From the Castle Swifts F.C. and Old Lukes F.C. - I reckon the relationship to Castle Swifts F.C. and Old Lukes F.C. warrant a single line at the beginning of the history section. Also the material on Ted Fenton as you can see the groundwork laid for the glory years.

I think all this - to be cited and comprehensive - really needs a book or two on West Ham - do you have any? If not, maybe we should just archive this nomination and work on the suggestions without a deadline and renominate. I'd be happy to take another look as it is an interesting topic. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:50, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Forever Blowing Bubbles (West Ham United album)

The above is a redirect into a reissue section on the more notable Back Home (England album) on the basis that it recycles two Bobby Moore recordings. The artwork is here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Forever-Blowing-Bubbles-West-United/dp/B00000843V/ .

Not only do I know this by seeing and taking part in that on Sunday (West Ham - Man City), but I also took a picture of news article in The Sun and linked it as reference. I also added Bobby Zamora as an ex-hammer who gets praise (Again, I recall seeing this in match against Villa). I hope this isn't taken off, as I put effort into it.

Isn't the captain of West Ham Scott Parker now, instead of Matthew Upson? Or is it because Upson's injured?


Stephen Henderson

On 16 March 2012, Henderson initially joined West Ham United on emergency loan from Portsmouth until the end of the season.[1] and was part of the squad that won the Football League Championship play-offs 2011–12 ensuring West Ham United returned immediately to the Premier League. On 21 May 2012, Henderson joined West Ham permanently on a three-year contract after his loan spell.[2]

Formatting is a disaster

The Supporters section is a complete mess because of the addition of the "rquote|right" and "rquote|left" templates one above the other, together with the table from the previous section dipping down deep into this one. One sentence, on my screen, reads:

The
1975 FA
Cup
version
–which
contains
the
original
lyrics,
and
features
vocals
from the
team's then-current players – is always played before home games, with the home crowd joining in and carrying the song on after the music stops at the verse line "Fortune's always hiding".

Firefox, Windows 10, 19" screen. I didn't mean to give the impression that the screen is blank apart from those words. "Bow Bells are ringing" is to the right, squeezing them onto the left-hand margin. "I'm forever blowing bubbles" is to the right of the paragraph above, squeezing that paragraph and "Bow Bells" to the left, and the kit table is to the right of it, squeezing all of them to the left. The result is that the sentence I quoted is essentially vertical, not horizontal. 2001:BB6:4713:4858:B46E:8624:611E:D6FD (talk) 14:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Just, for instance, both quotes are rquote|right and shouldn't overlap or force text to realign.
The table descending into the lower section also seems odd. I can move the entire section / adjust the table to test - but even 1028x768 or similar resolution I am not sure what you are seeing. I will load up Firefox and have a look if it's something their browser does. Koncorde (talk) 14:43, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
