When we think of our heritage, we think of Arthur Rowe, push and run, Bill Nicholson, the Double, the glory, glory years and Danny Blanchflower. Liverpool have Shankly and Paisley, Arsenal the Herbert Chapman era et cetera et cetera.
But what of West Ham? What's their heritage?
Well, funny you should ask because West Ham have just launched a new fashion range which goes under the 'heritage' brand.
Now it's not an extensive range - which is perfectly understandable given their, shall we say, variable history - and indeed, there is but one T-Shirt design.
But what design do you think there is on said T-Shirt? What is the most West Ham thing they could think of?
One of their old players? No. One of their laughably few triumphs? No. A classic claret and blue motif? No, again.
The most West Ham thing they could come up with - the thing that West Ham thought was the most appropriate image for their heritage - was a picture of West Ham fans throwing bottles at the Manchester United bus.
Seriously.
Still, it's just a bit of old tat in the club shop. It's not as if they've roped in the players to advertise it or anything.
Oh...
