Pablo Zabaleta is celebrating his 37th birthday today. He came to West Ham towards the end of his career on a free transfer and we all thought another player coming for a pension. Over the next 3 seasons Pablo proved us wrong as he always gave 100% in his 80 games for us ⚒

As Leverkusen were celebrating their equaliser last night and a number of West Ham fans started making their way to the exits, all remaining West Ham fans got to their feet and gave a spontaneous round of applause to their team that had given everything they could on the night⚒️
You've followed us every step of the way, and you fought alongside us until the very end tonight.
We are forever grateful for your unwavering support. ❤️

David Moyes has made some great signings since returning to West Ham as Manager and most of them have hit the floor running. However, bringing Kevin Nolan back to West Ham could turn out to be his best⚒️

A Massive Well Done to all West Ham fans after the game Monday night. Even after a 4-1 win they had the decency and respect to help look for the Leicester boy that went missing. Glad to report that little Jamie Vardy was found safe and well in Angelo Ogbonnas pocket. Best fans⚒️

After breaking his leg twice aged 37 at West Ham Stuart Pearce, who is celebrating his 59th Birthday today, was written off. However, he came back the next season to win Hammer of the Year at 39 in 2001. Psycho is now back at West ham - for the third time - as First Team Coach⚒️

I've said it before about Kevin Nolan that without him coming to West Ham in 2011 we could have done a Leeds or Sunderland when we got relegated. He was the major reason we got promoted that season and was a Great Captain for West Ham. Happy 39th Birthday Kev⚒️

Arguably the best player to come out of Ireland since George Best. Liam Brady finished his playing career at Upton Park after 119 games for us. We have seen enough players use West Ham to boost their pension fund but not Chippy - 65 today - who was still a quality footballer ⚒️

Phil Parkes played exactly the same amount of league games - 344 - for both West Ham and QPR. Parkesy played over 400 first team games for both . It comes as no surprise that both West Ham (3rd) and QPR (2nd) highest ever league positions have one thing in common - Phil Parkes ⚒️

Arguably the most naturally gifted player to wear claret and blue. Dev spent 14 years at West Ham played 448 games - would have been a lot more but for injuries - and cost only £5,000. Voted 5th Greatest Hammer behind Moore, Bonds, Brooking and Hurst which says it all ⚒️
