Ilford born, John Lyall made his name as a player at West Ham before he went on to manage the team for most of his career between 1974 and 1989.
He also managed Ipswich Town between 1990 and 1994, leading them back to the top flight in 1992, before he died in April 2006, aged 66.
Items belonging to the manager, including medals, contracts and signed items, were auctioned by Barnebys on Monday, with some selling for thousands of pounds.
The most expensive item sold at the auction was Lyall's West Ham 1975 FA Cup Final winners gold medal in its original box. It was sold for £6,606.43. According to Barnebys, it was "incredibly rare" as the medal differed from the players' medals.
Other items that sold included Lyall's 1991/92 Ipswich Town manager of the season trophy, his 1957 England youth cap, his contracts at West Ham and his football tie collection.
Lyall managed West Ham for 15 years and led them to two FA Cup wins, including during his first season with them and guided them to third in in Division one in 1987, their highest-ever finish in the top flight.
He made his senior debut in April 1959. His first team career was interrupted and prematurely ended by a serious injury to his left knee. In January 1964 after making 36 appearances in all competitions, aged 23, he was diagnosed with an inoperable, generally disarranged knee and retired from playing professional football.
He was then offered the role of part-time youth team manager and was then promoted to the managers hot seat in 1974.
In December 2009, West Ham renamed the main gates to Upton Park as _The John Lyall Gates_ and then moved the gates to their current ground, the London Stadium_,_ in 2016.
