Di Canio's double bluff against Barthez? Hurst's six against Sunderland?
Victory at the Emirates? Sealey's brace at Wembley? Bobby Moore in goal
against Stoke? Tevez's winner at Old Trafford? Or perhaps the 0-3 Cup
humiliation at Mansfield?

There are thousands of West Ham games over the past 100 years to choose
from. Some obvious, some not. These 101 matches dig deep into the Hammers'
footballing archive.

Echoes of drama and heartbreak, ecstasy and despair, celebration and
degradation, all assembled for the first time in a book of 101 Beautiful
Games you will never forget.
