Classic match
West Ham United 3-1 Queens Park Rangers
Division One
20 August 1985
With just one win in 13 outings on this day in history, 20 August is hardly the most treasured of dates in the West Ham United archives, but prolific frontman Frank McAvennie is not likely to forget it.
Having enjoyed his Hammers bow three days earlier in a 1-0 reverse at Birmingham City, the Glaswegian made quite the impression upon his first runout at the Boleyn Ground.
A £340,000 signing from St Mirren, McAvennie struck twice, in addition to an Alan Dickens goal, as John Lyall's men emerged comfortable 3-1 victors against Queens Park Rangers.
It proved to be the first of some 26 league goals for the Scot that season, with the Hammers famously embarking on their finest ever league campaign, eventually finishing third, just four points adrift of champions Liverpool.
