Tight jerseys, Oxford and Luton in division 1, plastic pitches, endless cup replays(sometimes 3 or 4), saint and greavsie, BBC vidiprinter, 1 live sunday match on ITV, paninni football stickers, FA cup final was a BIG occasion, Wimbledon playing in plough lane, zenith data systems cup, Aston Villa European champions. There was a beautiful romance to the no nonsense of 1980s English football and I fell in love with Man. United. Those were the days
We had virtually fallen apart by then after winning the first 10 games and still top at xmas . Robbo was injured, Hughes was on his way at the end of the season but we knew he was going long before that.
Apparently at this game the Manchester United mascot was a 10 year old boy, with a passion both for football and for Manchester United, a certain David Beckham
Watched this on TV in my student halls. I missed the first 10 minutes and had to leave after the penalty. I didn't know the game would be on TV so I had made other plans. This was a replay, the original game had been about five days earlier. This was one of two straight wins at Old Trafford, and three wins in a row against united.
What a team we had then... went to the first game (1-1 McAvennie) and thought we blew it... typical us to go up there and get a result!! Thanks for downloading this... great memories.
Was on the Football Special lost a few quid on the way up playing cards. Got it back on the journey bk from that shot hole ⚒⚒⚒⚒ how many penalties do we see up there for the away teams 🤔🤔🤔🤔 COYI
@@Adam-vy6nl Biggest away following in london bar none pre all seater. Biggest outside of liverpool and United, not bad for a club that won only 1 league, 1 fa cup, 1 league cup and 1 cup winners cup in the first 91 years of it's existence.
G&H stands full of old farts, always emptied out just before/after half time & near the end. You'll notice that West Ham only had a took a tiny number of a huge allocation (K/Scoreboard). This was due to what happened to them the year before. Rest of the ground was full or as full as grounds ever were in the 80s (let's not even start on man city's attendances back then!)
The attendance was 30,441, way below our average of 44,038 that season. You're right about City's gates though. Their average was 24,000. The whole OT selling out all the time is an absurd straw man anyway.
That's bollicks if you look we was above the fans below too, plus we are one of the biggest aaay followers today, money was tight for an East End boy back then too ⚒

@@CIMAmotor ahh,I stand corrected.As a Liverpool fan I only remember Everton fucking up at Oxford and reds beating Chelsea.. Didn't West ham and Liverpool battle for second place in the previous season 84/85?
aye.2-1 wasn't it?what a game!beat sheff we'd 1-0 in the league at Upton?we really thought that West ham were going to do the double!finished four points behind Liverpool?(84?)when you look back at the three away games at Birmingham city,Aston villa and Nottingham forest,expecting seven points from nine!coming away with zero .the hammers must have been gutted when Liverpool did the double instead!
@@jonathancole833 oh yes,they drew with Ipswich didn't they?1-1?beat them 1-0 away in the league and 2-1 at home,from behind I believe .they must have knocked out ipswich.was expecting them to roll over the Wednesday but they could be a tough team to beat won2-0 at man u and drew 2-2 at Liverpool?west ham 1985-6.it was almost like Dundee 2-0 heart of Midlothian and the 0-3 to aberdeen.sickener!

This game was on the day after my wedding, great memories. Love you Hammers thanks for everything.
Superb memories.
Went on the Football Special (Remember them!) 16 yrs old
Football was a working class sport back then
The fact they wear polyester kits today makes you think it’s a 3rd world country game. Polyester is rubbish.
this was a replay in the cup after we drew at upton park. great result memories.coyi
first game was a saturday n postponed to wednesday. 2.2 it went to a replay live on sunday.
A vivid reminder that back in the pre-Bosman ruling days there was the prospect of talent prevailing over the wealthiest clubs in the land.
The legend that is Brian Moore.
Pike, what a header, keeper should've gone at the end with his schumacher style lunge at the end.
Blimey a penalty given to W Ham at Old Trafford... Must have been the last ever.
I still remember Pike's header! I was at my friend's house in Tonbridge, Kent.
I remember it too, i think maybe the longest headed goal I've seen.
Tonbridge.I know it well..
@@CIMAmotor I was thinking the same thing. Defiantly one of the best I have ever seen.
Ray Stewart "Tonka" really knew how to take a penalty "boom"
We had virtually fallen apart by then after winning the first 10 games and still top at xmas . Robbo was injured, Hughes was on his way at the end of the season but we knew he was going long before that.
hughes let us down that yr an prob to many on the piss
The day Ron sold sparky was the day United lost the title
Chris Turner doing his Toni Schumacher impression!
@James Murray That was similar to Hugo Loris assault on Lanzini a couple of seasons ago (Where spurs choked) he wasn't sent off either.
This was our second visit isince the ferry ..
When was the first? The 4-2 match when there was an all day battle?
no ferry was pte sesson 86 87

First to view and comment, remember watching this on a sunday afternoon when I was 13!
Great memories
Sad to see the fences around the pitch
Macavenie & cotter what a front 2

Loads, you prick. You keep playing football the West Ham way... 😂
4.35 'there's not many west ham supporters here tonight'
Paul W Chelsea always took thousands

Paul W what ? Won the fa cup three times ,64,75,80 won the cup,winners cup in 65 and that’s our lot no league or league cup ever
@@robrees8501
Not sure you can say West ham had a massive away following, decent enough and passionate but not special numbers.
nice to see that the swamp was full that day! thought they are always sold out !
What makes you think it wasn't full? You are forgiven if you're too young to realise your mistake.
Richard Milnes look at the footage at 2.31 just before Geoff Pikes goal massive spaces in the stand!!!

24000 in a 29000 stadium at the time 30,441 in a 56785 stadium is about half full?
Back when football was not about wealthy owners
Sorry there's a mistake on this video. The ref gives a penalty against United at Old Trafford.
Those were the days!
Yeah in the pre Fergie days when Refs had balls
Great times,keeper should of been sent off for that foul on Mcavennie & 3 up ⚒
'There aren't that many West Ham fans who have travelled up here' Same old West Ham.
That's bollicks if you look we was above the fans below too, plus we are one of the biggest aaay followers today, money was tight for an East End boy back then too ⚒
I like old skool football apart from the pitches...
Blatant penalty at 5:07.
Fergie didn't turn up till the following season..
Bet west ham got a good kicking that day,yer nited liked it when they had vast numbere,unlike 83 in cup when they got mullered.
West Ham turned up and had right off with the Manky Mob
ICF still undefeated ⚒⚒ ya mug
@@neilturner6865 Goodison 86.rip ammers
West Ham finished 3rd that season
With a bit more luck West Ham would have been in the mix with Liverpool and Everton at the finish.Defo the best West ham team in my lifetime.

⚒⚒⚒
Then West Ham went to Sheffield Wednesday, I think a few days later, and lost.
aye.2-1 wasn't it?what a game!beat sheff we'd 1-0 in the league at Upton?we really thought that West ham were going to do the double!finished four points behind Liverpool?(84?)when you look back at the three away games at Birmingham city,Aston villa and Nottingham forest,expecting seven points from nine!coming away with zero .the hammers must have been gutted when Liverpool did the double instead!
@@motormouthalmighty I think West Ham had 3 games against Ipswich and 2 against United before losing to Wednesday.
