1991-1992
29 May 2010
It was early in 1991 when Roger Morgan (ex Tottenham & England winger) the Football in the Community officer at West Ham Utd, arranged a meeting , to which all the local women's team were invited including Newham, Dagenham & Romford. Roger outlined the FITC programme and their intention to set up a women's team but they wanted to bring in an experienced existing team. All the clubs at the meeting declared that they wished to retain their own identify and the idea appeared to be put to sleep. Never the less the FITC organised training sessions at Warren School and were astounded by the response as up to 70 girls were attending each week. In November 1991 Roger contacted John Greenacre, who had recently stepped down at Romford LFC and asked him to become involved.
The first friendly match was set for 29th March 1992.
1992-1993
29 May 2010
Two teams were entered into the Greater London Regional Women's Football League, one in Division 3 and the other in Division 4 and West Ham United Ladies were underway and 11th Oct 1992 was the date that Andie Woodley current Reserve Team Manager made her League Debut for the Hammers, shortly after the clubs first ever league game on September 27th 1992 - a 5-1 win v Hackney 'B'.
1993-1994
29 May 2010
Mark Barrie who took up the reins as Reserve Team Manager during the previous season was because of work commitments unable to continue this throughout this season and was replaced by John Greenacre in December.
Trevor Lewin, for whom this was to become his final season as 1st team Manager saw his team just miss out on a top two finish, havig to settle for third place, which as it transpired (because of a team withdrawing from Division 2) was enough to gain promotion.
Kay Cossington, herself only 14, who was to go on to greater things, made her first team debut on 3 Oct 1993 and score a notable hatrick in March 1994.
1994-1995
29 May 2010
John Greenacre took over as Manager of the first team after Trevor Lewin who had now joined the Football in the Community full time and could no longer spare the time at the weekend.
West Ham drew 0-0 with National League Champions Arsenal in the London FA Cup with Hammers keeper Claire Lacey the star of the show.
