HAMMER OF THE YEAR WINNERS
First introduced in 1958 by the West Ham United Supporters' Club, the Hammer of the Year award has been presented to West Ham United's finest players in recognition of their individual efforts in a particular season. The inaugural winner was Andy Malcolm and since its introduction famous names such as Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Sir Trevor Brooking, Paolo Di Canio, Julian Dicks and Mark Noble have had their achievements recognised by the Hammers' faithful.
Voted for by the fans themselves, any winner of this award knows that they have truly written their name into Hammers folklore.
2021/22 hammer of the year - declan rice
Congratulations to Declan Rice on winning his second Hammer Of The Year award!
Once again Declan was the engine room of our team both domestically and in our fantastic European campaign.
Declan made 48 appearances scoring 5 goals including 3 in the Europa League.
Due to the presentations to Mark Noble it was not possible to present Declan in person with the original HOTY trophy but we hope to do this at a match at the beginning of next season.
Congratulations Declan!

Congratulations to our outstanding Czech Republic midfielder Tomáš Souček who has been crowned 2020/21 Betway Hammer of the Year!
Tomáš was presented with the Betway trophy on a special awards programme on West Ham TV but will hopefully be receiving the original Supporters' Club trophy in front of the fans shortly.
Tomáš was an ever-present in the top-flight, starting and finishing all 38 matches, ending the campaign as the Club’s joint-leading scorer with ten goals, alongside Michail Antonio.
Congratulations Tomáš !
