West Ham transfer news: Toni Martinez ‘quite close’ to signing from Valencia, confirms Slaven Bilic

West Ham's all-time England XI

• 1/13 West Ham's all-time England XI

  ...But who makes the cut?

• 2/13 GK: David James

  Edges Rob Green out of the team, this eccentric former England No1 keeps net in our side.

• 3/13 RB: Glen Johnson

  His stint in the first team may have been short-lived, before moving to Chelsea, but this academy graduate has gone on to make 54 appearances for England.

• 4/13 CB: Rio Ferdinand

  A ball-playing centre, the Hammers fans were always going to love Rio.
  Harry Redknapp handed him his first team debut at just 17, and the boy from Peckham never looked back.
  He would make 127 appearances for the Hammers before moving to Leeds and then Manchester United.
  A former England captain, Ferdinand made 81 appearances for the national team.

• 5/13 CB: Bobby Moore

  The first name on the team-sheet. Moore famously captained England to World Cup in 1966, and went on to make 108 appearances for his country.
  He would make 544 appearances for the Hammers, guiding them to the FA Cup in 1963/64 and the Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup the following year.
  More was also runner-up in 1970 Ballon d’Or.

• 6/13 LB: Stuart Pearce

  He may have been 37-years-old when he arrived at the Boleyn, but with 78 England caps to his name, the affectionately nicknamed ‘Psycho’ brought a wealth of experience to club.

• 7/13 DM: Paul Ince

  One of two unpopular inclusions in this Hammers midfield. This boyhood West Ham fan made 72 appearances for the club after being spotted as a kid by club legend John Lyall.
  But Lyall’s dismissal following the club’s relegation at the end of the 1988/1989 campaign culminated in Ince leaving the Boleyn for Old Trafford after being pictured in Manchester United kit.
  Ince would go on to make 53 appearances for England.

• 8/13 CM: Trevor Brooking

  A knight of realm, Brooking was born and bred in Barking – just like Bobby Moore.
  He would make over 520 appearances for the Hammers between 1966 and 1984, and was capped 47 times by England.

• 9/13 CM: Frank Lampard

  The son of a club icon, and the manager’s nephew, Frank Lampard junior was always going to stand out from the crowd at the Boleyn.
  Like Ince, Lampard is not remembered fondly following his move to Chelsea, but he was an obvious choice for our XI.
  Lampard scored 24 goals in 148 games for the Hammers between 1995 and 2001, and went on to win 106 caps for England.

• 10/13 AMR: Joe Cole

  This boywonder may not have reached his full potential, but he’s the archetypal West Ham player.
  Cole made 157 appearances for the Hammers over two spells, and won 56 caps for his country.

• 11/13 AML: Martin Peters

  He may have left the club for rivals Tottenham, but Peters will forever be associated with the club having made over 300 appearances for the Hammers between 1959-1970.
  He made a total of 67 appearances for his country, scoring 20 goals, one of which coming in the 1966 World Cup final.

• 12/13 ST: Geoff Hurst

  He’s the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final. This Boleyn Ground legend was always going to lead our line.
  Hurst would score a formidable 248 goals in 499 games for the Hammers, and 24 in 49 for his country.
