The Greatest Escape : The Craziest Season in West Ham United's History Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

As a football fan, there are those seasons which remain indelibly inscribed in the memory.

Simply unforgettable. The 2006/07 season remains one of those for fans of West Ham United.

A season that began with such promise: Alan Pardew signed two genuine world-class players ahead of the kick-off, but little did the Argentinian pair of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano know they joined a season-long relegation battle.

Roll forward to the business end, and with nine matches left to play the Hammers looked doomed.

Seven wins from those nine made it arguably the greatest escape in English top-flight history.

A season so memorable for all the wrong reasons: going two months without a goal; 11 games without a win; snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against your biggest rivals.

Then having survived, on the final day by winning at Old Trafford, extra-time in the courts, with the rest of football saying you had cheated, and the table did lie.

The Greatest Escape is the story of the highs, lows and controversies that were the 2006/07 season.
