It's actually quite nice.
Was it commissioned because they couldn't relocate the heroes statue from Upton Park?

Looking like another Bobby Moore wankfest, no doubt unvieled by the grand dame himself Trevor and Alan Sealey completely forgotten about.

Fuck these owners with their nice statues and their good manager and good squad and their fucking European football.
GSB OUT. Let's march against this sort of thing. Bastards.

I think the "European Champions" line is somewhat disingenuous, not knocking the achievement but the Cup Winners Cup was always considered the least significant of the 3 European trophies.

You're right it shouldn't say European champs.
Should say world champions

Can see the older generations of West Ham fans having fun explaining that trophy to the younger generations........might be easier to tell them its the equivalent European competition Tottenham are currently in........

The Inter Cities Fairs cup as it was known then was the least significant of the three, the ECWC was second to the European cup

You had to win a competition to qualify for the cup winners cup, the clue is in the name.
The Europa League is the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA Champions League and above the UEFA Europa Conference League after being the third-tier competition from 1971 to 1999 before the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued.

Exactly you had to win something to enter the competiton and not come nowhere near being champions to be entered for the "champions" league like nowadays
One of the greatest nights in out history and a superb match as well
I still believe Alan Sealey should have been represented on the statue though for scoring both goals
