The genesis of West Ham United Football Club is probably the most
fascinating of any professional side. The team that would become
the pride of East London and pioneers of the modern game first came
into the world as Thames Ironworks. Its players were the tough
hammer-men who burnt and beat rivets into some of the greatest
ships ever built, including the mighty HMS Warrior, a seagoing
war-machine, which was, like the company that built it and its
football club, ahead of its time. This is a tale of how
philanthropy, religious beliefs, Corinthian ethics, entrepeneurial
enterprise and the enthusiasm of working people for a game made a
sporting institution that would come to embody the culture and
history of the Docklands.
