Last night was a special one.
A truly epic finale to what has been 112 glorious years of elation, ecstasy, and emotion.
West Ham “welcomed” Manchester United to the Boleyn Ground for it’s 2398th and final chapter of its illustrious story.
While some have dubbed last night pre-game events as a ‘throwback to the 1980’s hooligan days’, it’s been widely blown out of proportion – speaking as someone who was there watching.
It was a carnival atmosphere, one for everyone to remember. While some fans might’ve stepped over that line, the vast majority walked it to perfection. The perfect mix between intimidation and aggression – the West Ham way.
Here are the best images from the pre-match build-up outside the Boleyn Ground.
