West Ham Online

What a performance this was - David Cross at his absolute best!

FA cup win in 1980, division two champions at a canter in 1981, then this! Those were the days - were any of you lucky enough to be there?

Was watching this game the start of your ongoing bedwetting problems ?

We were in the spurs end, I cheered every goal that went in...my brother said we just about got out alive.

My Grandfather barely spoke to my brother when he turned out to be a Spud.

Yeh, great night indeed.  Took the piss as usual.
Kicking off in the Shelf (Brother, Cousin etc..).
Coins flying everywhere and running em ragged outside. 
We all went Northumberland Park on the way, for
the surprise element iirc.  
A good result both on and off the pitch.

Also remembering Maxi Miller lunging into David Cross. An absolute animal of a player.

That season we finished 9th and they finished 4th.

They may well have won the war but we certainly won the battle on that night.

Just to rub salt into the wound, I think they may have won the FA cup that year.

I was on the Shelf that night. Didn't celebrate for the first goal but by the time the third and fourth went in there was no holding back. Partly because we realised that quite a lot of us were in there incognito.

I approve this scoreline.

If I remember correctly it was a midweek game. I was up in the Lake District on a late holiday with a few mates. The next morning we managed to get hold of a paper and find out the result 0-4 we couldn't believe it.
Irons!

Went with me old man. Got the bus from the ‘stow.

Have zero recollection apart from the back page of the current bun next morning:

Spurs 0
Cross 4

Can still see that headline now. 

 

I was there but have no memory of the match probably because i was constantly looking over my shoulder,saw the goals years later on you tube.

I was there. Coins raining down on us from the Shelf above.
Was chaos in the streets afterwards too. Closest I've ever been to a charging copper on a horse with baton raised.
 

Y’all obsessed with Sp*rs.

I’m a bit obsessed with the John Lyall era, as they were my formative years. Coincidentally, they were also great times to be a West Ham fan!

I was living in Lancashire at this point, so I was having to wait for the BBC vidiprinter to tell me the final score. Any away game where the home team got nil was always exciting!

1981 - we didn’t know how good we had it.

Great night. Totally put them in their box, absolutely humiliated them. Did ok in the game as well.
