What was the story with Kitson? Great player but did he not look after himself well or something? He was injured a lot, but a naturally fit, lean bloke.

10:35 Pearce knew what he was doing. He followed through with his elbow.

Thanks once again for a quality piece of work. Some decent tunes too.

Cheers rob good memories

Mostly known for his exotic hair dye colourings and not much else, I never rated Margas!

Great memories. Thanks for another great episode Rob. Happy new year mate 👍

Daniel to Robert new years & family ⚒🎉 2025

If watching these videos from week to week has reminded me of anything, it's how good Trevor Sinclair was for West Ham. I'd completely forgotten. He was absolutely electric for a while

Just brilliant as always Rob, Happy New Year to you & looking forward to more Hammers nostalgia in 2025 ⚒️

Happy new year Rob. From Auckland NZ

Give me this team, style of football and UP. 4 players in the box attacking a ball, energy in midfield…. Should not of watched this after that shit show yesterday. Ashamed to say I had Chocolate Salty Balls on CD 😂. Happy New Year Rob, started watching from the Lyall years in the summer. Brilliant ⚒️

I played with a few who kicked it the way they were facing right enough.......

Have a Happy New Year Rob! Many thanks for continuing to put these vids together. I know a lot of people who appreciate them. ⚒

In November, 3 wins over Leicester City, Derby County and Tottenham Hotspur put the hammers 2nd at the end of November 1998. But in December, Leeds United mashed West Ham 4-0 at Elland Road on 5-12-1998, Neil Ruddock got red-carded by 2003 Superstars ref Jeff Winter in the game for fouling Aussie Harry Kewell, Harry was not to know that 2 decades later the commonwealth games were in Australia!. 2 defeats at Middlesbrough and Arsenal worsened trips, playing on their own patch was better, they beat Everton and Coventry City to finish 6th at the end of December 1998.

Loving the soundtrack to these too, been a hammer since 1995/1996 so nice to see the build up of how things went down just before i started my West Ham journey

Love these trips down memory lane thanks R.B⚒️👍

Brilliant!

Absolutely brilliant, going to enjoy this series. Very well made too, I remember exactly who I was hanging around with and what I was doing with all the extra clips of what was on TV and cinema. Thank you 👍💯

I was thinking only 2 days ago that I want to find a documentary about the Redknapp years for my football playlist, and I found this part of a WHOLE SERIES! I am over the moon since I was so much happier as a W.H.U fan back then, when Redknapp managed to sign players like Hartson and Kitson when we were struggling, the pay-off when they started scoring was all the better because we were facing relegation and that bit of smart business saved us. We would play entertaining football and when things clicked, like they briefly did back then with Ian Wright, Harrison, Kitson, Berkovic, Sinclair and all the future champions league winners coming through the academy got us into Europe via the Inter-toto cup. It was just so much more special when we qualified for Europe back then, I would take those days as a West Ham fan over this. modern era any day, it's just a personal preference. Thanks for the walk down memory lane on Xmas day, have a Good one👍💯👊

Rob, brilliant as always! Enjoy the upcoming festivities... Excuse my ignorance - why are some quarters of the Upton faithful not massive fans of Ian Wright? I've tried a Google, but what's the point when I can politely ask the encyclopedia, here? 😂

This is why I can't stand Harston. That kick was disgusting. And especially with a man on the ground. And both these guts played for the team I hate the most Celtic.

Cheers Rob. Have a great Christmas matey.

Cheers Rob - always look forward to the weekly nostalgia trip ⚒️⚒️ Happy Xmas

Love these videos Rob, was at most of these games. Just a minor observation on this one, when the Newcastle game was on, the comment on screen said something about West Ham fans up in the gods, but we were in the lower tier corner, the end our goals went in, as I just briefly saw myself 😆

If Hartson had really meant it Berkovic's head would have ended up in Whalebone Lane or in the Moby Dick's carpark

"3 blokes clear" 😂😂😂. How random! Cheers for this year Rob, have a good one mate ⚒️

Thanks Rob

Daniel ⚒ to Robert merry Christmas & family ⚒ a new years

Been waiting for this 👍

West Ham got mangled on enemy territory twice in October 1998, 3-0 at 1995 PL winners Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, and at freshly-promoted Charlton Athletic at The Valley 4-2. 2nd at the end of November the Hammers were!.

Another brilliant piece of memorabilia. Happy days.

Worst world cup song ever

Already looking forward to the next episode. From memory I think it was Berkovic that Hartson gave a boot to the nut. I am hoping it’s Joe Andrews rather than Berkovic though.

Music shit again/

Music is shit.

I was at the Wimbledon game, totally delirious in the first half, abject disgust in the second, I remember saying to my brother after the game What the fuck just happened ? he replied Javier Margas he absolutely shit himself against their strikers

An early Christmas present , thanks Mr Banks !

Another fabulous snapshot, Rob. Wright may have captained your Hammers on more occasions than he did at Arsenal under Rioch whilst Adams was out! RIP Oscar - absolutely rotten news 💔

The match against Wimbledon made 10 year old me question why I supported west ham haha and it was my dad who was an orient fan say it who you have chosen to support cant change it now and it will get better hahahaha cheers dad.

Thanks Rob Another great vid. Good cliffhanger 🤣⚒

😊😊 quality video rob cheers

Ian Wright scored 9 times for the hammers in the 1998/1999 PL season, the season they got to Europe for finishing 5th. Javier Margas did not score until 22nd April 2000 on home ground v Coventry City when they won 5-0.
