Well, a couple of lucky free kick goals for Arsenal's Declan Rice against Real Madrid. Still, he's not a bad player and let's hope Real Madrid now try to buy him so we don't have to see him down the road at the Library. Declan is certainly one of the best West Ham players I've seen and he'd get into my greatest Hammers X1. I just missed out on Martin Peters so haven't included him, though I did catch the end of the careers of Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst. Frank Lampard Junior doesn't get into the side as most of his great stuff was for Chelsea and we don't have enough men to carry him.
My all time Hammers X1 would be something like this: Parkes: Bonds, Martin, Moore, Dicks; Rice, Payet, Devonshire, Brooking; Hurst, Di Canio. And if permitted the luxury of a second X1 of super subs it would be this: Miklosko; Stewart, Ferdinand, Collins, Lampard Sr: Cole, Carrick, Noble; McAvennie, Cottee, Tevez. Sadly I couldn't find a place for Marco Boogers or Simone Zaza, but there you go.

No Maxi Cornet? Where's The Yeti? When will the genius of Kaba Diawara be recognised? I also notice no Defoe and Ince, which is fair as their best days were elsewhere. The serious answer to the best player not included in your 22 must surely be Scotty Parker. Matt
Ralph Milne?
Yes Scotty Parker is unlucky, but would have to drop Noble, Cole or Carrick for him. Ralph Milne is indeed a WHU legend,.
