LONDON (Reuters) - West Ham United have always done things their own way through thick and thin, so it was fitting when Frank Sinatra's timeless classic kickstarted a post-match party that brought the curtain down on 112 years at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday.

True to their traditions, West Ham kept a 34,000 crowd on tenterhooks as they flirted with defeat in their 2,398th and final game at a ground which survived World War II bombs and has undergone many facelifts but still retains a unique atmosphere.
