Irons triumph at Wembley
Yes! Yes! Yes! In Diamond Jubilee year, the Hammers are happy and glorious.
West Ham United are back in the big time as they beat Blackpool 2-1 in the Championship play-off final.
Ricardo Vaz Te is the hero as he scored the winning goal just three minutes from time.
Carlton Cole had put the Hammers 1-0 up in the first half. But Thomas Ince had hauled Blackpool back into game straight after half time.
But Ricardo’s winner takes the boys back into the Premier League.
