West Ham United have been a household name in the Premier League for the most part of three decades now and they are one of eight clubs to have never fallen below the second tier of English football.
Some high-profile names have represented them throughout their illustrious history and they have made some incredible signings since the turn of the century.
The surprise capture of Argentine superstars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano in the same window in the 2006-07 season in particular made plenty of headlines.
They have made plenty more big-money signings since then, though!
