Part 17 of a series charting the history of West Ham United during the four and a half years of Billy Bonds' management.
The international stage of the Anglo-Italian Cup gets under way. West Ham are in a group of eight, with four Italian Serie-B teams, Cremonense, Regional, Cosenza and Pisa, and three other English teams Derby, Tranmere and Bristol City. The top italian and top English sides in the group will go through to the Semi-finals. There are pitifully low attendances for the games in Italy and in the 32 group matches in total there are 18 red cards. West Ham finish below Derby County and go out but Bonds is adamant West Ham will not waste their time with the tournament again. In the league, costly defeats at promotion rivals Millwall and Tranmere, but with Dicks back from suspension there are morale boosting wins over Oxford, Birmingham and Southend. A goalless draw at Brentford just before Christmas leaves the promotion push in the balance.
