West Ham’s best finish in the Premier League came in the 1998–99 season under Harry Redknapp, when the Hammers finished fifth in the Premier League, their second-best placing ever in the top-flight.
It was also the only time they have finished above sixth place in the Premier League, which was founded in 1992.
That season saw goalkeeper Shaka Hislop, defender Neil Ruddock, Marc Keller and Ian Wright join the Hammers with Marc-Vivien Foé, defender Scott Minto and striker Paolo Di Canio joining in the January transfer window.
Joe Cole also emerged onto the first-team scene, showing glimpses of the player he would become when he later joined Chelsea.
West Ham finished the season with negative goal difference and only finished one point better off than the previous campaign but 16 wins, nine draws and 13 losses was enough to place them fifth between Leeds United and Aston Villa.
The Hammers secured UEFA Cup qualification and would return to European competition after a 19-year absence.
The Irons are currently fourth in the table, level on points with Manchester City, and Moyes will be acutely aware that he could match or even better Redknapp’s feat this season.
