Who's Who : First XI Pen Pictures and Autographs ...
You would have thought that compiling a list of players to have pulled on the Claret 'n Blue for the Hammers since the formation of the club as West Ham United in 1900 was an easy one, just sit down and start copying from the numerous record books.
But when you get down to the nitty-gritty of comparing such publications that's when the anomalies bubble to the surface, and even then it's not clear-cut. Take the year 1911 for instance, two players with the same sounding surname, "REDWARD" and "REDWOOD". George Redwood gets a paragraph or two, but the descendents of F.E. Redward probably don't even realise their great Granddad played a small part in West Ham's history he's simply not mentioned. Under each of the Managerial picture links below I've recorded the "pen pictures" for each player to have made a First Team debut for that manager.
