We're looking for a vintage of Hammer that perhaps some Irons fans would rather forget

A West Ham United fan sitting alone in the stands looks dejected after his team is relegated after the FA Barclaycard Premiership match between Birmingham City and West Ham United held on May 11, 2003 at St Andrews in Birmingham, England. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Here, have a football quiz.

Nuno Espirito Santo is at the wheel now – and after a shaky start, the Hammers surely won't be going down this season (were they ever really at risk?) – but today's quiz looks at a West Ham team from the annals of Upton lore that weren't quite so lucky.

We're looking at Trevor Brooking's side from 2002/03 that features cult hero and Barclaysman a-plenty, yet still wound up relegated with a whopping 42 points: can you name all 25 players to appear for the Irons that campaign in just eight minutes?
