# Where are West Ham’s 2012 play-off winning players now?

In May 2012, West Ham United [secured promotion](https://www.whufc.com/club/history/greatest-matches/blackpool-1-west-ham-united-2) back to the Premier League in epic fashion.

The Hammers defeated Blackpool at Wembley Stadium, striking late through Ricardo Vaz Te to seal a 2-1 victory.

Sam Allardyce guided the Hammers back to the top flight after a very entertaining season for the London club.

As stated on the [club’s official website](https://www.whufc.com/club/history/greatest-matches/blackpool-1-west-ham-united-2), the Hammers only lost eight times in total during the league and play-offs that season.

The Hammers are now back in [a relegation fight](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) and could see themselves dropping down to the Championship next season.

The team are narrowly out of the relegation zone [on goal difference](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) but have some quality players in the squad, who we hope could help them survive the drop.

But, where exactly are those players from the play-off winning squad now? Below, we’ve had a look at what each of those players are up to these days.
