A Pictorial History
1999-2000 FA Carling Premiership
Manager : Harry Redknapp
Departures from the club saw Eyal Berkovic join Celtic, Stan Lazaridis move to Birmingham City and Julian Dicks retire from playing. Harry Redknapp then bought striker Paolo Wanchope, central defender Igor Stimac and full-back Gary Charles.
The new season started early in July as the Hammers were in the Intertoto Cup. The Finnish side Jokerit were beaten 2–1 on aggregate and this was followed up with a 2–0 aggregate win against Dutch side Heerenveen. The Hammers were now in the final, where they faced the French team Metz over two legs. There was disappointment in the home leg as Metz went back to France with a 1–0 lead, but in the return a stirring performance by the Hammers gave them a 3–1 victory and qualification for the UEFA Cup.
In the league there were five wins and a draw in the opening games and by mid-September they were in second place. Also in September the Croatian side Osijek were beaten home and away in the UEFA Cup. It was a busy month in October as Di Canio scored twice against Arsenal in a 2–1 win. The home League Cup game with Bournemouth was won 2–0 but there was no joy in Romania in the UEFA Cup as Steaua Bucharest won 2–0; the Hammers were knocked out after the home leg was drawn 0–0. The good league form continued with home wins against Sheffield Wednesday and Liverpool, and in the League Cup the Hammers progressed after a thrilling 3–2 win at Birmingham City. December proved to be a black month as West Ham gave an inept performance in losing 1–0 in the FA Cup at Tranmere Rovers – the FA’s tinkering with tradition in holding the third round before Christmas has never been repeated. Days later in the League Cup, after a 2–2 draw they beat Aston Villa on penalties. However, it was later found that Manny Omoyinmi (who had come on as a substitute) was ineligible to play and the FA ordered the tie to be replayed, which the Villa won 3–1.
By early February the Hammers were in ninth place as they faced Bradford City at Upton Park. In an amazing game the Hammers were losing 4–2 after 50 minutes yet fought back to win 5–4. Another highlight came in the home game with Wimbledon when Di Canio scored a wonder goal that was later acclaimed as the Goal of the Season. A week later on April Fools’ Day, after taking the lead the Hammers lost 7–1 at Manchester United. West Ham finished the season in ninth place, and had now achieved three top-ten placings in successive seasons.
