Correct me if i'm wrong but I think West Ham scored while the crowd we're still entering the ground.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I remember being furious that I couldn't go to the game because my sister in law got married that day and I really fancied our chances. The reception was at the Winter Gardens and of course it was pre internet so I had no idea what the score was. I seem to remember that one of the staff finally told me and I sulked all evening!! I had an excuse because I was only 30 after all!!!

Couldn't get in the Pontoon that day as it was rammed and ended up in the Harrington St open corner. Think we got a bit wet. We were virtually impossible to score against at BP that season, until West Ham turned up and tore us a new one. Think it may have been Paul Goddard who got their other goal.

Just talking on the West Ham forums, one mentioned this game he said he went to, said it was the best fish and chips he ever had lol.

A young Frank Lampard played for them as well it seems.

I was there in the Barratt Stand with my old man. West Ham had a very good team at that time

I'm not sure. If I remember right, they did have a 3-year old in midfield.

I remember it being a nice sunny day, getting beat by a very good team and remember thinking all the west ham fans are massive lumps.
