291 Mark Noble

Mark Noble, born on May 8, 1987, in Canning Town, East London, is a cherished figure in English football, renowned for his loyalty, leadership, and unwavering commitment to West Ham United. Joining the club’s youth academy at an early age, Noble developed into a versatile, hardworking midfielder with a knack for precise passing and calm authority on the pitch. After making his senior debut in 2004, he enjoyed a near two-decade-long association with the Hammers, ultimately wearing the captain’s armband and becoming their heartbeat in midfield.

Known affectionately as “Mr. West Ham,” Noble’s tenure was punctuated by memorable goals, tireless work ethic, and a deep bond with the supporters who admired his passion and integrity. Brief loan spells at Hull City and Ipswich Town were overshadowed by the enduring legacy he built in claret and blue. By the time he retired from professional football in 2022, Noble had etched his name into West Ham folklore forever.
