Season summary
1991–92 was West Ham United's first season back in the First Division following promotion, ending a two-year absence from the top flight.
However, their return to the First Division lasted just one season and they were relegated in bottom place, missing out on a place in the new FA Premier League, which would be created for the 1992-93 season. Their chances of survival were not helped by the fact that key players Trevor Morley and Julian Dicks missed large stretches of the season due to injury.
The few bright spots of the season came in the final stages - ironically after relegation was confirmed - in the shape of a 1-0 win over Manchester United which effectively ended the opposition's title hopes, and then came a 3-0 demolition of eighth-placed Nottingham Forest in which striker Frank McAvennie ended his second spell at Upton Park by scoring a hat-trick. The season could have ended very differently for the Hammers had they been able to show such fine form on a more regular basis.
