Just seeing one image of a player, or a certain claret-and-blue strip, can immediately conjure happy memories of days gone by, and that's what this section is really all about. We cannot offer pictures for sale but hope that simply viewing them will bring pleasure.

We would like to thank the photographers concerned for kindly allowing us to display their excellent work here. In particular, long-serving club photographer Steve Bacon, who has photographed more people associated with the club than anyone else. Our appreciation also goes to Hammers historian John Helliar, Tim Crane, Terry Connelly and the ex-players who loaned us pictures from their personal collections.
