Thomas Freeman was a ships fireman and Walter Parks, a clerk. The team played on a strictly amateur basis for 1895 at least, with a team featuring a number of works employees. The repair yard of the Castle Shipping Line was a very near neighbour and their work team, initially known as the Castle Swifts, would informally merge with the Thames Ironworks own team. The last ship built there was the dreadnought HMS Thunderer in 1912 and the yard shut soon after. Thames Ironworks built many ships and other structures, the most famous being HMS Warrior. Thames Ironworks was based in Leamouth Wharf in Blackwall and Canning Town on both banks of the River Lea, where the Lea meets the Thames. The earliest generally accepted incarnation of West Ham United was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks F.C., the works team of the largest and last surviving shipbuilder on the Thames, Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, by foreman and local league referee Dave Taylor and owner Arnold Hills and was announced in the Thames Ironworks Gazette of June 1895. HistoryĮarliest club shot, during its founding year as Thames Ironworks in 1895 West Ham adopted their claret and sky blue colour scheme in the early 1900s, with the most common iteration of a claret shirt and sky blue sleeves first emerging in 1904. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Millwall, and the fixture has gained notoriety for frequent incidents of football hooliganism. Three West Ham players were members of the 1966 World Cup final-winning England team: captain Bobby Moore and goalscorers Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. The club's highest league position to date came in 1985–86, when they achieved third place in the then First Division. They are one of eight clubs never to have fallen below the second tier of English football, spending 63 of 95 league seasons in the top flight, up to and including the 2020–21 season. West Ham also won the Intertoto Cup in 1999. The club have reached two major European finals, winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965 and finishing runners-up in the same competition in 1976. West Ham have been winners of the FA Cup three times (1964, 19) and runners-up twice (19). In 1940, the club won the inaugural Football League War Cup. They were promoted to the top flight in 1923, when they were also losing finalists in the first FA Cup Final held at Wembley. The team initially competed in the Southern League and Western League before joining the Football League in 1919. They moved to the Boleyn Ground in 1904, which remained their home ground for more than a century. The club was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. The club plays at the London Stadium, having moved from their former home, the Boleyn Ground, in 2016. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.
