After captain Declan Rice took his place in the West Ham history alongside legendary trophy-winning skippers Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds, fans filled the streets of Czechia’s capital – as well as back in London.

Footage showed supporters cheering at the top of their lungs and leaping on top of each other in excitement.

In Prague, where West Ham fans had been ambushed by ultras in the hours prior, the streets overflowed with jolly supporters.

Back home was no different, with maroon and blue shirts spilling out of pubs.

Inside bars in the Czech Republic capital, fans leapt onto tables, kissing each other as tears streamed down their faces.

Many could be heard singing: “West Ham are massive everywhere we go.”

Others chanted: “2-1 to the cockney boys”.

The Europa Conference League final took place at the 19,300 capacity Fortuna Arena, with West Ham receiving a ticket allocation of just 5,000.

Jarrod Bowen nipped in for the clincher, landing the team its first silverware in decades.

David Moyes, who raced on to the pitch David Pleat-style following the goal, can now be spoken in the same breath as both Ron Greenwood and John Lyall.

His side took the lead with Said Benrahma’s penalty after VAR spotted a handball from Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi. He was hearing a bandage after his head was cut open by a West Ham idiot in the first half throwing a vape.

Yet just five minutes after West Ham put themselves in a terrific position, Giacomo Bonaventura delivered a polished finish to bring the Italians level.

But then Bowen controlled a through ball from Lucas Paqueta and his finish was just superb. Cue absolute mayhem.
