Moyes proud to be part of West Ham title celebration: It's now sunk in!

West Ham United supporters lined the streets to celebrate the Europa Conference League title.

The Hammers have won a title for the first time in over four decades, with manager David Moyes lifting the trophy on Wednesday.

A day later, tens of thousands of their fans were on the London streets to celebrate with the squad.

Captain Declan Rice and others were all engaging with the fans, while Moyes looked delighted as well.

The streets were packed from West Ham's old Upton Park ground to Stratford, where they now play.

Moyes stated: “I had about three hours' sleep but that's only because the bar shut in the hotel very early when we wanted it to be open much longer!

“For me, the thing about it, being a football manager, in the football industry, the majority of weeks you go home disappointed because your team hasn't won, so to actually get to the final of a European competition and win it was massive.

“It sunk in for me when we got back to the East End of London tonight and saw the supporters on the streets. It was incredible.

“West Ham is a huge football club with huge support in East London and the proof of that is tonight. There were thousands of supporters on the streets tonight and the support we had last night in Prague was unbelievable.

“I hope we can continue to make progress and I think we have done over the last two or three years and last night was progress because we won a trophy. It was massive for us to win a trophy!"
