Anton Ferdinand uses Upton Park farewell to remind us he was once a decent player

Tonight marks the end of an era, as West Ham's Boleyn Ground plays host to its last ever Premier League game.

The stadium, colloquially known as Upton Park, has been the club's home for more than a century, but is set to be turned into flats once the Premier League club up sticks and move to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford. While some might have found the wall-to-wall coverage of the move frustrating, there's no questioning that it's an emotional time for those associated with the club.

We've seen tributes from current players.

As well as those who have turned out for the club in the past.

Our particular favourite must be Anton Ferdinand reminding us all that he was once a top prospect and tipped for England stardom.

His brother, another former Hammer, has other things on his mind. https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/729923110284185600

West Ham might have a new 60,000-seater stadium next season, but it nothing will compare to the ground they've called home since 1904.
