Classic match
West Ham United 1-0 Arsenal
Division One
27 August 1923
The first-ever top flight game at the Boleyn Ground was played on this day 92 years ago when the Hammers hosted London rivals Arsenal.
West Ham needed only four years of Division Two football before rising to join the game's elite for the first time, and they turned up at the Boleyn Ground having drawn 0-0 with Sunderland in the opening fixture of the campaign.
Their meeting with Arsenal would go even better as Albert Fletcher notched the only goal of the 90 minutes to give the 20,000 home crowd a happy afternoon.
Fletcher would only play another six games for the Club, but will always have his place in the history books as the Hammers' first Division One goalscorer.
West Ham's debut top flight campaign ended satisfactorily, with a 41-point haul earning them 13th place in the table.
