Classic match
West Ham United 7-2 Aston Villa
Division One
30 August 1958
West Ham United went goal crazy on this day 57 years ago, with Aston Villa their victims in an early-season Division One fixture.
Ernie Gregory's goal was breached twice, but it was not to matter as the Hammers stuck seven in Nigel Sims' net at the other end.
Three home players notched braces - Vic Keeble, Malcolm Musgrove and John Dick - with Billy Lansdowne also on target.
The Hammers were second in the table following this win, their third in a row, as they returned to top division football in creditable style with a sixth place finish.
