In 1996 Stockport County beat West Ham 2-1 in the League Cup 4th Round Replay

You can watch the full game below on Youtube

Ludek Miklosko, Marc Rieper, Mark Bowen, Slaven Bilic, Julian Dicks, Michael Hughes, John Moncur, Ilie Dumitrescu, Ian Bishop, Hugo Porfírio, and Iain Dowie: the West Ham team packed with internationals that was knocked out of the League Cup by third-tier Stockport County a quarter of a century ago.

Now there is renewed hope. Jim Gannon, after returning for a third spell in charge in 2016, guided County to promotion two seasons ago; last summer they were bought by Mark Stott, a local businessman who is revamping the club.

    Shame for Stockport that they didn’t back Dave Jones. He turned out to be quite successful, didn’t he? The other we should remember was against Chesterfield. A young Kevin Davies was against us that time. He also went on to do very nicely. We should have bought him there and then. Could have been a legend for us. Keep an eye on Stockport players tonight – just in case. We could be in the market for someone decent (& low cost!).
