Jimmy Wood was a speedy outside-right who bagged 13 goals in 67 appearances for West Ham United between 1929 and 1935, including one in a 2-0 Division Two win at Lincoln City on this date in 1934.

One of those goals came in a 2-0 win at Sincil Bank. Jimmy Ruffell was also on target in front of a crowd of just 5,213 as the Hammers climbed to 12th in the table.
