History

West Ham first travelled into Europe to play football in 1921 when manager Syd King took the team to Spain where they played games against Real Madrid, Celta Vigo, Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo La Coruna.[1] In the early 1960s West Ham travelled abroad to play frequently with matches in Costa Rica, Sweden, Rhodesia, Ghana, the United States, Austria and Germany.[2]

1964–65 Cup Winners Cup

Alan Sealey, 1965 Cup Winners' Cup final scorer

After winning the previous season's FA Cup, manager Ron Greenwood led West Ham into their first European campaign. Two goals from Alan Sealey saw West Ham win the competition against West German team TSV Munich 1860 before a crowd of 100,000 at Wembley on 19 May 1965.[3][4]

“ Getting to Wembley is nothing. The thing is to win there.[4] ”
— Ron Greenwood

West Ham started the competition against La Gantoise, the first Belgian side to play in this competition. In the opening game on 23 September 1964, West Ham won 1–0 in Belgium thanks to a headed Ronnie Boyce goal from an Alan Sealey corner. In the home leg, West Ham fans paid record match receipts to see what was described as a "decrepit performance which brought jeers from the crowd". Martin Peters scored an own goal for La Gentoise before Johnny Byrne scored an equalizer from a cross by Johnny Sissons [5] In the second round, West Ham drew Czech side Sparta Prague.

Ronnie Boyce, scorer of West Ham's first European goal

The first leg on 25 November contained considerable time-wasting by the Czechs including four times when the ball was kicked clean out of the ground. The match was decided in the second half by a 25-yard shot from full-back, John Bond, his first for three years and Alan Sealey, who scored after his shot had hit the post.[5] In the second leg, on 9 December 1964, Sissons put West Ham 3–0 up on aggregate only for Prague's Gustáv Mráz to score two late goals to finish the tie 3–2 in favour of West Ham.[5] The quarter-finals matched West Ham against Swiss side Lausanne. In the first leg in Switzerland, Brian Dear, playing in his first European game scored the first goal, Byrne the second before Lausanne scored in the 80th minute through Robert Hosp.[5] The second leg, described as a "thrilling cup-tie" took place at the Boleyn Ground on 23 March 1965. Two goals from Dear, one from Peters and an own goal from Lausanne's Ely Tacchella gave West Ham an aggregate 6-4 win. The Lausanne goals were scored by Pierre Kerkhoffs, Hertig and Norbert Eschmann.[5] The semi-finals West Ham played Spanish side, Real Zaragoza. In the first leg in London, West Ham scored two first-half goals through Dear and Byrne. They attempted to defend their lead in the second half by playing nine in defence but conceded a 55th goal scored by Canário.[5] The second-leg in Spain finished as a 1–1 draw with goals from Sissons and Zaragoza's Carlos Lapetra. Zaragoza were denied three penalty appeals and blamed the referee for their defeat.[6] The final against West German side, TSV Munich 1860 was played at Wembley on 19 May 1965 in front of 100,000 people. It has been described as "West Ham's greatest moment". Alan Sealey scored in the 69th and 71st minutes; the first from an "impossible angle" and the second after Bobby Moore's free-kick was not cleared by the Munich defence.[6] Manager Greenwood, in his 1984 book Yours Sincerely, noted the significant roles played by Sealey, Dear and Bobby Moore in the final but also praised West Ham's defence particularly the efforts of goalkeeper Jim Standen and defender Jack Burkett.[7]

West Ham started this campaign with an away game against Finnish side, Lahden Reipas. The match was played in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in front of a crowd of just 4,587.

West Ham's next opponents were Ararat Erevan in Armenia in the Soviet Union. Alan Taylor scored to take the lead only for Erevan's Samvel Petrosyan to head the ball out of Mervyn Day's hands.

Erevan's single goal was scored by Nazar Petrosyan.[21]

In the quarter-finals West Ham faced Dutch side, FC Den Haag. In the first leg in the Netherlands, 1970 World Cup Final referee, Rudi Glöckner awarded Den Haag two penalties for handball.

In the first-leg in West Germany, Frankfurt played their reserve goalkeeper, Peter Kunter, a part-time player who is also a dentist. He was beaten after only nine minutes by Graham Paddon's 30 yards (27 m) shot. Frankfurt scored two goals through Willi Neuberger and Wolfgang Kraus to take a 2-1 lead to London.[21] West Ham won 3-1 in the home leg. Two from Trevor Brooking and one from Keith Robson were enough to give the tie 4-3 to West Ham with a goal for Frankfurt's Klaus Beverungen. Goalkeeper, Mervyn Day won particular praise from the manager for his saves in the first-half.[21]

The final was played at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels against Anderlecht. Pat Holland opened the scoring in the 29th minute but Frank Lampard's poor back-pass allowed Rob Rensenbrink to equalise. Francois Van der Elst added another in the 48th minute and although Keith Robson equalized with a header, both man-of-the-match Rensenbrink and Van der Elst scored again to give Anderlecht the trophy.[21]

1980–81 Cup Winners Cup

Winners of the 1980 FA Cup, West Ham a Second Division team, started another European campaign in the Cup Winners' Cup. Crowd violence broke out in the first-leg away in the Bernabéu Stadium to Castilla in which one West Ham fan was killed.[31] West Ham were ordered to play the return leg at least 300 kilometres (190 mi) from Upton Park. After an appeal they were allowed to play at home resulting in the playing of "the Ghost Match" behind closed doors in the return leg at Upton Park with no fans in attendance.[32] 3-1 down from the first-leg, West Ham won the second-leg 5-1, still their record score in European football.[33] In the second round West Ham played Romanian side, Poli Timisoara. The first-leg in London resulted in a 4-0 win for West Ham. Goals for Billy Bonds, Paul Goddard, a Ray Stewart penalty and another for David Cross gave them a strong lead ahead of the away leg. In Romania, Timisoara won 1-0 after Phil Parkes had let a Dan Păltinișanu shot bounce over his arm.[31] West Ham lost in the quarter-finals to eventual winners, Dynamo Tbilisi.[34] In the first leg in London West Ham lost 4-1. Tbilisi's performance was described as "one of the finest many fans had seen". They were 2-0 ahead by half-time after goals by Aleksandre Chivadze, Vladimir Gutsaev and although David Cross scored for West Ham, Ramaz Shengelia scored twice for the Soviets.[31] In the away leg in Tbilisi, West Ham needed to score four goals which never looked likely.

Saint-Symphorien Stadium, venue for West Ham's Intertoto Cup victory

Following their fifth-place finish in the previous season's Premier League,[39] West Ham, now managed by Harry Redknapp, entered the Intertoto Cup. Given a bye for the first two rounds, West Ham drew Finnish side Jokerit in the third round. In a poorly-attended first leg at the Boleyn Ground on 17 July 1999, West Ham won 1–0 with a goal from Paul Kitson. Manager Harry Redknapp blamed a disappointing performance on "midsummer lethargy."[40] In Finland, Jokerit took the lead through Koskela before Frank Lampard Jr. equalized in the 70th minute with a 20-yard free-kick to put West Ham into the next round.[41] Lampard scored again in the first leg of the next round, against Dutch side Heerenveen. His 25 yards (23 m) shot was enough to give West Ham the lead going into the second leg.[42] 1–0 was also the score in the away leg on 5 August 1999. Following a 30 yards (27 m) Lampard shot which the goalkeeper failed to hold, Paulo Wanchope followed up to score and take West Ham into the final.[43] Following a two-leg final against Metz[44] in which they were 1–0 down from the home leg following a Metz goal from Louis Saha,[45] West Ham won the away leg 1–3 at Saint-Symphorien Stadium with goals by Trevor Sinclair, Frank Lampard and Paulo Wanchope.[46] West Ham therefore qualified for the UEFA Cup as one of the three winners of the competition for that season.[47]

As runners-up in the 2006 FA Cup West Ham, now managed by Alan Pardew, gained entry to the 2006–07 UEFA Cup.[61][62] Violence involving West Ham supporters was again in evidence. Twenty West Ham fans appeared in an Italian court following their arrest after fights with rival supporters in Sicily before and after West Ham's game against Palermo in the away leg of their 2006–07 UEFA Cup game. At the home leg, fans had bought T-shirts bearing the slogan "The Mafia" – a reference to Sicily being the home of the Cosa Nostra. This was seen as antagonistic by Palermo fans. Six West Ham fans, six police officers and five locals suffered minor injuries in fighting in Sicily. Rival fans threw bottles and chairs in the city's Teatro Massimo district. Five-hundred people were involved in the brawl and police officers were attacked. It took police in riot gear more than an hour to bring the violence under control. An eyewitness said, "West Ham fans behaved like animals, roaming the streets, bottles in hand searching for anyone to fight."[63] More than 2,500 West Ham fans travelled to Palermo for the game.[64]

West Ham lost the tie 4–0 on aggregate losing 0–1 at home to an Andrea Caracciolo goal and 3–0 in Palermo following two goals by Fábio Simplício and one by David Di Michele.[65][66] Manager Alan Pardew gave full debuts to recent signings and Argentine internationals Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez in the games.

1975 Anglo-Italian League Cup

As well as being involved in a Cup Winners' Cup campaign, West Ham participated in the Anglo-Italian League Cup, a short-lived competition played between the winners of the FA Cup and the Coppa Italia. [105] The first leg took place in Florence at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on 3 September 1975, with Fiorentina's Vincenzo Guerini scoring the only goal of the game. In the second leg at Upton Park, Fiorentina again won 1-0, this time with the goal coming from Walter Speggiorin, sealing a 2-0 aggregate victory for the Italians.[106]

1992–93 Anglo-Italian Cup

Cremonese and West Ham line-up at Stadio Giovanni Zini, Cremona in the Anglo-Italian Cup, November 1992

The revival of the Anglo-Italian Cup for the 1992–93 campaign saw West Ham, under the management of Billy Bonds, return to European competition for the first time since 1980-81.[108] West Ham started the campaign in a domestic qualifying stage to decide which English clubs would play Italian sides. Their first game on 2 September 1992 was a 2–2 home draw against Bristol Rovers, with both West Ham goals scored by Julian Dicks.[109] The second game was on 30 September against Southend United at Roots Hall. West Ham won the game 3–0 with goals from Dicks, Trevor Morley and Matty Holmes.[110] As a result, They won their preliminary group and qualified for the full competition. This failed to attract interest from fans, however, with attendances as low as 800 away to Cosenza and 1,639 at Cremonese.[111] Of the four games played against Italian opposition West Ham won two, drew and lost one game each. They lost 0-2 away to Cremonese in their opening group game, before beating Reggiana 2-0 at Upton Park, with both goals coming from Clive Allen.[112] Against Cosenza they won 1-0 away in Italy, with the single goal coming again from Allen. In their final match, West Ham drew 0-0 with Pisa at Upton Park.[113] West Ham were eliminated after finishing third in the English section of the group, with only the best-placed English (Derby County) and best-placed Italian teams (Cremonese) progressing to the next round.[114]
