# Where are they now: West Ham’s 2012 play-off winners

It’s been four years since West Ham defeated Blackpool 2-1 at Wembley in the 2012 Championship Play-Off final to secure promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Since then, the Hammers have been on the up and up. Three consecutive mid-table finishes helped the club stabilise themselves as a Premier League club and set the foundations for the future, and we have Sam Allardyce to thank for that.

Last summer was time for change, however. Slaven Bilic came in with fresh ideas, enthusiasm and a genuine love for the club which has helped the club no end, overseeing West Ham’s most successful season in the Premier League era to all intents and purposes.
