West Ham 8 Newcastle 1 1986

Quite a night with Alvin scoring a hat trick, against 3 different keepers!
Many memories, articles and pictures of the Boys of 86 on that night can be found here on the online museum which becomes more precious as our history changes.

I was there in the South Bank. Just behind the goal, slightly to the right of it as you looked at the pitch.

Hard to believe that was 30 years ago nearly.
I was in the North Bank with my Dad and Cousin and you couldnt stand still if you wanted to..
That match was the last time I went with my Dad..

One of the replacement goalkeepers injured a shoulder trying to save an Alvin header. I don't think he ever played again.

Never forget Seeing Peter Beardsley in goal he looked like a small child and the keepers top was about 9 sizes to big

I recall Roeder going absolutely spastic when the ref gave us a penalty at 7-1!

I was a graduate trainee back then and we were all at an offsite training program on the Cromwell Rd.
That night was the only one they gave us off and we were sitting around talking about what to do on our night off. I suggested Upton. Park. Most of the others had never been to a football match before and wanted to give it a try so off we went, about 12 of us.
We were in th North Bank. What a night. None of them will ever forget their first football match. I has to explain that it isn't always like that..

Iirc we had to win by 5 clear goals to go 3rd, I was confident before the game that we'd win but not by 5 goals. Also remember the geordies cheering like they'd scored a goal afet Beardsley saved a simple back-pass. Great night, love to see a few more like it.
