Football History

Podcast: Reflections on Upton Park, West Ham

West Ham’s Boleyn Ground, Upton Park. The club moved to the Olympic Stadium for the 2016-17 season.

My guest is Danny Lewis, author of Boleyn’s Farewell: West Ham United’s Upton Park Swansong, which chronicles the last game at West Ham’s former home of 112 years. We look at the history of West Ham United, from its roots as the dockers’ team to its move to Upton Park and – ultimately – the club’s move to the London Stadium.
