The Legacy
Gianfranco Zola took charge of West Ham United ahead of the 2008-2009 campaign. The side finished ninth in the Premier League. Umbro manufactured this home shirt, which featured XL Holidays as the front sponsor. Mark Noble and Scott Parker anchored the midfield throughout the league schedule. Matthew Upson led the backline, while Carlton Cole provided the main attacking threat. This season saw the club stabilise following a managerial change early in the term, as the squad balanced young talent with established Premier League experience to secure a top-half finish.
Key Moment
West Ham finished 9th in the Premier League in 2008-09, signing off with a 2-1 home win over Middlesbrough through goals from Carlton Cole and Junior Stanislas.
