The core of Upton Park in the London Borough of Newham.is Green Street.

West Ham United play their home matches at the Boleyn Ground  

John and Matyn support the team and for several years had season tickets. Now its a few matches a season.

Family associations go back to the 1920's as John's mother was born just off Green Street and started work in the original Boleyn Castle (represented on the badge). It was demolished and is now part of the car park.

The theme tune for "The Hammers" is "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" which should be playing now.
