West Ham United Major Rivalries

Almost all football clubs have rivalries, but probably no other two clubs share a more embittered and controversial past than West Ham United and Millwall FC . The rivalry between the two goes back to their beginnings, with both teams being founded by firms on opposite sides of the city.

Tensions have always been high whenever these two meet on the field, and reports of violent clashes between rival factions of their respective fan groups. Tensions persisted to the 21st century when the teams met in the Football League Cup round 2 in 2009. The event led to pitch invasions, as well as riots and scuffles outside The Hammers' venue.

In addition to Milwall, West Ham's rivals include London-based opponents Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur .

Leicester FC Major Rivalries

Leicester FC has no fierce rivalries that can even closely compare to West Ham Utd. and Millwall FC.

Nottingham Forrest FC is considered Leicester's top rival, and the two clubs are bound to play at least two games in the upcoming 2022/23 season, given that Nottingham Forest secured a place in the Premier League after winning their Championship playoff game.

Leicester has a regional rivalry with Derby County FC, which compete in League One (the third professional football tier of English football). The derby is known as the East Midlands derby. There is also a small rivalry between Leicester and Coventry City. Games between these two teams are known as the M69 derby.

Notable Players That Played For West Ham Utd.

The years between the early 1960s and late 1970s are considered West Ham United's "glory years" and saw some of the best players wear the club's jersey.

Some notable names include Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters, who were part of the English national team that won the 1966 World Cup - England's only World Cup title.

Later-generation players have also left their mark on the club, including Ray Stewart and Alan Devonshire, who, while with the club, won the 1980 FA Cup and West Ham 2000 player of the season.

Another of the many honourable mentions is Hammer of the Year and Hammer of the Decade Mark Noble, who holds the record for most games played, and has spent more time at the club than any other player in the club's rich history.

Notable Players That Played for Leicester City

Аmong the names worthy of the label Leicester FC legends are goalies Ian Walker and Tim Flowers, who collectively have played over 600 games for the club and more than 150 clean sheets.

But if there ever was a Leicester FC golden generation, it is the 2015/2016 squad that won the Premier League and was highly competitive in European tournaments.

A few players from that generation that should be singled out include Algerian national Riyad Mahrez, with 39 goals for the club, as well as goalie Kasper Schmeichel, who has the most club appearances, and former captain Wes Morgan.

One name that has and continues to leave a lasting impression on the club more than any other player in its history is the incredible Jamie Vardy. The 35-year-old has scored over 120 goals and counting and logged at least 270 games. A true legend in every sense of the word.

West Ham United Most Successful Managers

Sam Allardyce is the first of several West Ham managers that comes to mind. "Big Sam" helped promote the Hammers back to the Premier League and kept the team on a stable footing for much of his tenure before a dreadful finish to the 2014/15 season.

Croatian Slaven Bilic and David Moyes also deserve to be mentioned. The former, while eventually being sacked following a 4-1 loss to Liverpool at home, remains the only manager under which the Hammers averaged 1.33 points per game in the Premier League. On the other hand, Moyes' two stings at West Ham helped the club retain its Premier League status.

Harry Redknapp is arguably the Hammers' most successful manager, who helped the club take fifth place in the Premier League in the 1998/99 season. Future Premier League stars Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Jermain Defoe, Michael Carrick, and Rio Ferdinand all played under Redknapp, and each of them, with the exception of Lampard, debuted during his time managing the club.

Irishman Martin O'Neill helped Leicester FC reach the League Cup final three times, winning the cup on two of those three occasions.

Claudio Ranieri elevated Leicester to unprecedented heights, winning the club's historic first Premier League title in the 2015/16 season after narrowly escaping relegation the year before.

• Frank O'Farrell
• Jock Wallace
