With West Ham on course to break new ground in the Premier League era this season and perhaps eclipse their previous high finish of fifth place back in 1998/99, what better time than take a trip down memory lane.
Despite the Hammers coming up short against a rampant Manchester City side on Saturday, David Moyes‘ side stay fourth in the table with those around them still to play.
Mixing it with the preconceived giants of the league is nothing new to ardent Irons fans who will remember with enthusiasm the halcyon days whereby West Ham’s new-found competitiveness with the elite was a foregone conclusion.
However, having narrowly escaped the drop last season, what this current group are achieving comes as nothing short of a well-constructed miracle.
With another Sunday in lockdown and the Irons missing out on the midweek action, we’ve set you a quiz to test your knowledge of that famous 1998/99 campaign and the players who achieved the current benchmark.
Good luck and let us know your score on social media…
