Moore captained West Ham to the 1965 European Cup Winners\u2019 Cup and Bonds led them to the FA Cup in 1975 and 1980.<\/p>\n<p>The victory also seals a place in next season\u2019s Europa League and means European football for the third year running for the first time in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"crAK6Uihytk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Getting to the Top: Talent isn\u2019t enough, Opoku Nti tells footballers \u2013 Agokansie (7-6-23)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/crAK6Uihytk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Declan Rice of West Ham United lifts the UEFA Europa Conference League trophy after the team&#8217;s victory during the UEFA Europa Conference League 2022\/23 final match between ACF Fiorentina and West Ham United FC at Eden Arena.
