West Ham were relegated to the First Division at the end of the season, finishing in 18th place. Season summary Following a successful debut campaign for new manager Glenn Roeder the previous year that saw them finish 7th in the Premiership - two places short of a club record 5th three seasons earlier - hopes were high for the young squad to expand on this and aim for an equal or higher finish in the 2002–03 season. Despite boasting several current or future England internationals, including David James, Trevor Sinclair, Joe Cole, Jermain Defoe, Glen Johnson and Michael Carrick, a disastrous start to the season saw them win just three out of their first 24 matches, and the club found themselves bottom of the table at Christmas with just 16 points.West Ham United 2002-2003 Home - statto.com Similarly poor results followed into the new year, as the club continued to struggle in the relegation battle and were knocked out of the FA Cup after a 6–0 defeat to Manchester United in January. Their poor form in all competitions was put into perspective on 21 April 2003, when manager Glenn Roeder collapsed after a 1–0 Premiership win against Middlesbrough; it was revealed he was suffering from a non-malignant brain tumour, which was later operated on successfully.https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/roeder-collapses-1648859.amp Roeder collapses 21 April 2003 Following this, club legend Sir Trevor Brooking was named as caretaker manager, and West Ham's luck began to turn with a series of good results towards the end of the season that saw them go into the final day with a chance of staying up. Tied with 17th place Bolton Wanderers but far behind on goal difference, they headed into the last game of the season against Birmingham City needing a superior result to Bolton (and in the case of both teams winning, a 7-goal margin) to escape relegation. However, a 2–2 draw with goals from Les Ferdinand and Paolo Di Canio saw the Hammers relegated after Bolton defeated Middlesbrough 2–1 at the Reebok Stadium, sending them down to England's second division for the first time since 1992.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/2978071.stm West Ham relegated BBC Sport 11 May 2003 21 October 2014http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/match/166592.html Bolton 2-1 Middlesboro ESPN 21 October 2014 Final league table 2002–03 FA Premier League WHU Westham United Squad http://www.footballsquads.co.uk/eng/2002-2003/faprem/westham.htm FootballSquads - West Ham United - 2002/03 1 ENG GK David James 2 CZE DF Tomáš Řepka 3 ENG DF Nigel Winterburn 4 SCO MF Don HutchisonHutchison was born in Gateshead, England, but also qualified to represent Scotland internationally through his father, and made his international debut for Scotland in March 1999. 5 ENG MF Lee Bowyer 6 ENG MF Michael Carrick 7 SCO DF Christian Dailly 8 ENG MF Trevor Sinclair 9 ENG FW Jermain Defoe 10 ITA FW Paolo Di Canio 11 NIR MF Steve LomasLomas was born in Hanover, Germany, but also qualified to represent Northern Ireland internationally and made his international debut for Northern Ireland in 1994. 14 FRA FW Frédéric KanoutéKanouté was born in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, France, and represented them at U-21 level, but also qualified to represent Mali internationally through his father and made his international debut for Mali in 2004. 15 IRL DF Gary BreenBreen was born in Hendon, England, but also qualified to represent Ireland internationally, and made his international debut for Ireland in June 1996. 16 ENG MF John Moncur 17 NED GK Raimond van der Gouw 18 FRA FW Youssef Sofiane 19 ENG DF Ian Pearce 20 ENG DF Scott Minto 21 AUS MF Richard Garcia 22 ENG FW Les Ferdinand 23 ENG DF Glen Johnson 24 ENG DF Rufus Brevett 25 FRA MF Édouard Cissé on loan from Paris Saint-Germain 26 ENG MF Joe Cole captain 27 IRL MF Shaun Byrne 28 ENG MF David Noble 29 GUI FW Titi Camara 30 FRA DF Sébastien Schemmel 31 IRL GK David Forde 32 ENG GK Stephen Bywater 34 IRL DF Clive Delaney 35 ENG DF Anton Ferdinand 36 IRL MF Daryl McMahon 37 ENG MF Leon Britton 38 ENG FW James Allen 39 ENG DF Izzy Iriekpen Left club during season 5 SVK DF Vladimír Labant on loan to Sparta Prague 22 TRI MF Brent Rahim on loan from Levski Sofia 28 FRA MF Laurent Courtois to Istres 33 ENG FW Billy MehmetMehmet was born in London, England, but also qualified to represent Ireland, Cyprus and Turkey internationally, and made his international debut for Ireland at U-21 level in 2004. to Dunfermline Athletic 34 NIR MF Grant McCann to Cheltenham Town 35 ENG DF Louis Riddle to Stevenage Borough Results Premier League 1 19 August 2002 20:00 BST Newcastle United 4–0 L Report West Ham United LuaLua 61 72Shearer 76Solano 86 Newcastle upon Tyne St James' Park 51,072 Paul Durkin 2 24 August 2002 15:00 BST West Ham United 2–2 D Report Arsenal J.
