Which former West Ham player do you wish had a different career at the club? Give us your reasons below 👇

It's been 13 years since Ravel Morrison scored THAT goal vs Tottenham... 🤯

Marco Boogers. We will never know just how shit he could have become.

Have to add , Payet’s talent was off the scale. Opposing teams were terrified of him. Particularly his free kicks anywhere near the goal. But he was always unstable and an ultimately unreliable mercenary which as Souness pointed out in the Times after his arrival : , “ there has to be a reason why we’ve never heard of this guy before…..” We soon found out.

What do you think was Payet’s best free kick? The Man United one in the fa cup is up there but the Palace one is my favourite I can’t remember seeing another free kick like it to be honest

I felt cheated out of seeing how good we could have become if Dean Ashton had never got that horrible ankle injury. For the first time since since 1986, I really thought he would help us win a trophy and beat the big teams. He was also a great guy and is now an excellent pundit. (Thanks a lot SWP….).

Can you remember his incredible overhead kick at Old Trafford? I think that must have been one of his final acts for us

Payet still has unfinished business

Dean Ashton. He would have been one of the greatest strikers for West Ham and England.

dantowen819511mo ago

Elite finisher! I hadn’t realised he was only 22 when he broke his ankle

eoin1mo ago

Retired during what should have been his prime years. Huge 'what if'

Reece Oxford no doubt about it. He was so far ahead of everyone else his age around 14-16. Ripped it up at the emirates opening day in 2015, but sadly never fulfilled his potential

dantowen819511mo ago

What do you think happened there? I remember he had a few loan spells which didn’t go to plan

jonny1mo ago

Scammaca for me, feel he had all the markings of a top striker but just wasn’t cut out for the Premier League!

kyle.dimond1mo ago

Could just fill this list with strikers. Sebastian Haller another I had high hopes for. Both of them picked right back up when they left too

eoin1mo ago

Felipe Anderson. Really Saw him going further at West ham than he did. Unbelievable ability but ultimately disappointing

FIFA gem

^^First player that came to mind but also Reece Oxford. He had really good traits to become a good modern-day centre-back.

dantowen819511mo ago

There were shades of Rio about him. Tall, elegant, great reading of the game

jameslloyd14.jl1mo ago

Really thought Wilshere would’ve had the reset he needed at West Ham. Seemed like the perfect club at the time but he just couldn’t shake off those injuries

dantowen819511mo ago

If I remember rightly, Wilshere did pretty well on the odd occasions he did play. Story of his career though!

chillout1mo ago

A lot of players end up having so much talent and it just seems to go to waste. Gazza could have achieved far more than he did. Dele Ali, Wilshere, Balotelli and Taarabt are among them - for different reasons.

dantowen819511mo ago

Dean Ashton maybe? A top top talent but then he broke his ankle at 22 and never really bounced back fully

chillout1mo ago

Yes - that’s a good shout. Retired at 26.

It would have been sick if Robbie Keane had a little bit more time.

markmarston1mo ago

Always thought Reece Oxford would go on to be one of the best players in the Prem! That’s genuinely how he was spoke about

jordan.harris1mo ago

Brilliant shout! That debut against Arsenal was absolutely incredible

kyle.dimond1mo ago

Forgot all about him but that’s such a good shout. Memories came flooding back

jordan.harris1mo ago

Was gutted for Kalvin Phillips that his loan went so badly. Really wanted that to be the spell that got his career back on track, but it couldn’t have gone worse

markmarston1mo ago

Yorkshire Pirlo 🐐

chillout1mo ago

Most of the big transfer deal players who didn’t work out - I wish they had had non West Ham careers. Tevez, too - I loved him as a player, but his contractual situation ended by being costly!

dantowen819511mo ago

Mascherano is a funny one! I think he only played five times

freddie1mo ago

I still want to say Payet… he could have been one of the greatest the Prem had seen…

dantowen819511mo ago

Payet I think performed at a level beyond even Di Canio and Bowen during some of his time at West Ham

chillout1mo ago

Payet could have been a West Ham great - but sadly never really wanted to be a Hammer. Whatever happened to him ? Morrison was a tragedy - so much talent gone to waste.
