About
Relive one of the proudest days in West Ham United history with the West Ham United 1980 FA Cup Final Admiral Shirt, a tribute to the unforgettable afternoon the Hammers lifted the FA Cup at Wembley. On 10th May 1980, John Lyall's Second Division Hammers stunned the footballing world by defeating top-flight Arsenal 1:0, thanks to Trevor Brooking's iconic header. It remains one of the great FA Cup upsets of all time and a defining moment in the club's storied history, a result that captured the hearts of the East End and confirmed West Ham's reputation as the spiritual home of FA Cup magic.
This shirt commemorates that historic Wembley victory and the team that delivered it, a side packed with cult heroes including Trevor Brooking, Billy Bonds, Phil Parkes, Alan Devonshire, Stuart Pearson, and the brilliant young Paul Allen, who at 17 became the youngest player ever to appear in an FA Cup Final at the time. Admiral were one of the most influential kit makers of the era, helping shape the look of football as we know it today, and their West Ham Cup Final shirt remains a true design classic. Faithfully reproduced with all the detail of the original matchday shirt, this retro release lets you wear a true piece of Hammers silverware history. Whether you're a lifelong West Ham fan, a collector of legendary cup final kits, or simply someone who appreciates the romance of FA Cup nights, this shirt is a wearable reminder of one of Upton Park's greatest days.
