We will have a fellow World Cup winner to be part of the tribute so you’d hope so.
Hopefully as many as possible of the 1965 ECWC winners will be there.

I remembering him signing his book Goals from Nowhere for me at a book shop in the Liberty shopping centre - 1969?
Looking at some of those goals, we certainly knew how to put some moves together in those days

Peters would still feature in my Hammers team of all time. He was unspectacular but by arriving late in the box he had a very good scoring record for a midfielder. He had bags of stamina, was unphased by anything,was great in the air and rarely made any mistakes. His transfer to Spurs was the start of my disillusionment with West Ham's potential.

Gareth Southgate got an OBE for blowing a World Cup semi final and finishing 4th.
Obviously Bobby Moore should have got one with Sir Alf or at least when he retired as a player.
The rest should have got a knighthood AT LEAST on the 50th anniversary if not decades before.
RIP Sir Martin

When Gordon Banks died there was the continuing outcry about another of the 1966 team dying without being honoured with a knighthood.
And what was done before Martin Peters died?
Nothing of course despite the fact it was well known that he had been suffering from Alzheimer’s for several years.

Some superb goals from MP in some of the links on this thread.
What a player - and one who would not be out of place in the modern game.. I know everybody said he was ten years ahead of his time, but it looks more like it was forty years.
His ability to read the game, at speed, as we attacked - and to ghost into the right position to make a difference - was exceptional.
True legend and a thoroughly decent man.
