1992 to 2022 was a period like no other for West Ham United. Taking
in the rise of the Premier League, promotion, relegation, European
nights and so much more, Daniel Hurley looks at key moments in West
Ham's recent history from a fan's perspective, remembering joy and
despair in equal measure along his journey as a football supporter
from child to adult. The Games That Made Us is the story of an
unforgettable period in West Ham's history told through the club's
50 most important matches over the past 30 years, with each game
put into context and the consequences examined. From Dicks to Di
Canio, Harewood to Antonio, Redknapp to Allardyce, The Games That
Made Us tells tales of last-minute winners and last-second
heartbreak, of trips to Cardiff, 5-4 victories and 4-2 defeats,
plus more matches against Wimbledon than you would expect. Find out
how a former manager once gave Daniel a transfer exclusive, why his
son's first game was possibly the worst debut in history and why
John Hartson ruined his 14th birthday.
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.
