In 1927, an advertising campaign appeared for soap. It featured a curly haired child blowing soap bubbles, who was likened to one of the West Ham players. This unlikely imagery provided the Hammers with their club anthem

hello Fabioburke
this has been asked before and you will probably get several answers . one of them is that it started when west ham played swansea (town then) in a fa cup match at the old vetch field and it was in fact the swansea fans who started to sing it to the west ham fans

thanks for your help-I've heard this theory along with a couple of others but am inclined to go with this one.
