Season summary West Ham United were unbeaten in their first nine League games of the 1975–76 season and occupied second place in the autumn of 1975. However, in an abrupt downturn in form they collected just eight points and won only one League match after Christmas, leaving them in 18th, only six points away from the relegation places. Their FA Cup defence ended in the third round, when they lost at home to Liverpool.Helliar John West Ham United: The Elite Era 2009 MPG Books Group Bodmin & King's Lynn 978-1-905328-68-0 4th West Ham saved their best form for their third foray into European competition.
