Billy, who was present with his family on his day and accompanied his former Hammers teammates, said earlier this week: "I have so many good memories of this club and this is really icing on the cake . It is a great honor and means so much to me and my family.
& # 39; To think that I am only the third West Ham player to receive this honor after Bobby Moore and Trevor Brooking, you can not get any better. Two people I admire, two great footballers and two great friends.
& # 39; I am very lucky – I have had so much support with this club over the years. The fans have always been great, from the first day. The only thing that I have always given was effort, and if the West Ham fans see that, they will forgive many things.

& # 39; It will be a special day on March 2nd. I really look forward and it will be nice for my family. I have two daughters and two granddaughters and they can not wait to go to the London Stadium to see it. I'm starting a little bit now, in my 70s, but it'll be great – if I'm not there anymore – for my granddaughters to come here and say, "That's Grandad's booth." That will be nice. & # 39;
The joint chairman David Sullivan and David Gold added: & # 39; This is a proud and historic moment for West Ham United, because we honor one of the biggest players who have ever signed the famous bordeaux and blue shirt.
& # 39; Since our move to the London stadium in the summer of 2016, it has always been our wish and intention to ensure that Billy is appropriately recognized and his name will now be permanent and proud with us home.
& # 39; To West Ham United supporters Billy Bonds embodies the heart and soul of our football club. A man who gave blood, sweat and tears in the course of a 21-year career and led the club with dignity and pride as a manager between 1990 and 1994.
& # 39; This honor is again a very positive step for the club at the London Stadium. With 60,000 supporters now present at home and paying appropriate tributes to our unique heritage and the biggest players in our history, we look forward to a bright and successful future.
He stayed in the club as a youth team coach, before he stepped up to take on first team tasks in February 1990 after the departure of Lou Macari.
He led the hammers through a tumultuous period and won two promotions to the top flight in 1991 and 1993, thereby paving the way for the club to establish itself as a Premier League side.
