The Legacy
John Lyall managed West Ham United to a third-place finish in the First Division during the 1985-1986 campaign, the club's highest ever league position. This away kit, manufactured by Adidas and featuring the Avco sponsor, was worn during this successful year. The attack was led by Tony Cottee and Frank McAvennie, who formed a productive partnership throughout the season. Alan Devonshire provided creativity from midfield, while veteran captain Billy Bonds continued to anchor the defensive line. The team challenged for the league title until the final weeks of the campaign, ultimately securing European qualification.
