WEST HAM'S players want to go down in Hammers history and become icons here in Prague tonight.
Declan Rice will lead out West Ham in the Europa Conference League Final against Fiorentina and has told his team-mates they can "create a legacy and be remembered for ever".
West Ham are bidding to win their first European trophy since Bobby Moore lifted the Cup Winners' Cup at Wembley in 1965.
In what is set to be his last West Ham appearance, Rice can become the first Hammers captain to lift a trophy since Billy Bonds in 1980.
Club legend Mark Noble has told the players to "savour every minute", while Rice has spoken about wanting to cement his place in West Ham folklore.
Arsenal are preparing to make a formal approach for Rice after tonight's final, and the England midfielder wants to leave with a winners' medal hanging around his neck.
Rice said: "It is a unique opportunity that we've got, that we really want to take.
"Now it's a final, anything can happen. We'll do everything we can to do the job. It would be my biggest achievement I've had in football so far, 100 per cent. It would be for a lot of us.
