https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAHmJO9ZMcc is the URL I found it on.
This was the time when I became a committed West Ham fan, partly because Ronnie Boyce had been taught by my Dad for a while at East Ham Boys' Grammar School. Not unfortunately in how to play football - Dad was a music teacher.

I'd seen the Pathe news footage before but that was only about 2 minutes worth and hardly captured the goals properly so this was a real treat to see.. Man U only scored at all because Standen had been injured and John Bond fluffed the resulting free kick.
Excellent bit of play by Moore to set up Hurst for the clincher.

Thanks for this, I'll pick it up later
Before our time but our late Dad was there and I have three memories from him of the day, they were meant to beat us and we were superb, one of ours made a big hammer and it was handed to one of the players to dance about with after and most poignantly, of all the grounds we were about at the time all we got before going was a 'watch your step' or a 'behave yourself', in passing.
First time we went there he was concerned, and we got a what stand are you in?, when it was confirmed as Leppings Lane it was followed with a be very careful, bloody place is a death trap, get out of that tunnel sharpish .....
That was from 64 and he was not wrong given what happened not too long after
