Does anyone know the origin of this??

West Ham decided that its hammer mascot was a bit unfriendly for kids so added a cuddly teddy by the name of Bubbles.

Dont know but i like the 'Hammer-ets' Mmmmmmmmmm ;)

DJ Dunk - nah!

I thought that was Michael Jackson's forte...

<groan> yes I know but it is Friday afternoon :D

1923

First Wembley cup final (West Ham 0, Bolton 2) – "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" popular song of the time, became West Ham anthem.

Oh, and Mussolini becomes dictator of Italy ;)

Because there was a player in the early 1900's on the wing who had really bad curly hair, who the fans nicknamed bubbles, and then used the song forever blowing bubbles to sing when he played, it just stuck as the teams song :D

Okay, how about this one then . . . .

An advertisement for soap featured a curly-headed baby blowing bubbles, and this was likened to one of the West Ham players, so the song was jokingly aimed at him, but the, sometimes appropiate, words of 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles' ensured the song was to remain a permanent feature at matches involving the 'Irons'.
