Billy Bonds signed print -16x12inch print, double mounted and framed in silver. Comes complete with a certificate of authenticity.

An all time West Ham legend Billy Bonds (born. September 17, 1946 in Woolwich, London) played for the Club for 21 years. His family moved to Eltham, London, where he honed his skills on the local fields, often by daring the local kids to try and get the ball from him.

He signed for West Ham United F.C. in 1967 from Charlton Athletic, and remained at the club for over 20 years, scoring 48 goals in a club record 655 League appearances. Appointed to the captaincy after the departure of Bobby Moore, he established himself as a local hero, and is the only West Ham captain to lift the FA Cup on two occasions.
In 1990, soon after retiring as a player, he became manager of the Hammers, and held the job for 4 years before being replaced by Harry Redknapp. He was awarded the MBE.
A successful captain and tough competitor, he was always the hardest player on the pitch.
