Fans of West Ham United have been gushing after footage emerged on social media from four years ago.
On Sunday, it was four years to the day since the Hammers played their final game at the Boleyn Ground and fans gushed after footage, which was originally posted by @vinnywhufc, was re-posted (via @whufc_news).

Yes, without any doubt

In the final game at the club’s old home, Winston Reid scored the winning goal ten minutes from full time to secure a 3-2 victory over Manchester United (per BBC).
However, while the result was a positive one in the footage, supporters could not help but gush after the video of Upton Park re-emerged.

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these West Ham fans, they clearly still feel a great amount of regret that the club left the Boleyn Ground.
Hopefully, the fact that the Hammers were able to record an impressive victory against the Red Devils in the ground’s final game (per BBC) is somewhat of a comfort to supporters.
