Coventry City v West Ham Utd 1997

After signing John Hartson and Paul Kitson (and later Steve Lomas) WHU lost only 2 of 12 games between Feb and May 1997.

Here, Hartson scores twice to make it 3 goals from 4 games since signing from Arsenal.

Rio Ferdinand gets a rare goal - his second for West Ham.

Ferdinand returned from a loan spell at Bournemouth in January and played in 14 of the 17 League and Cup games before the end of that season.

The following season he was voted WHUs player of the year. That was despite Hartson scoring 24 goals.
