West Ham United's record-setting Boys of '86 squad will be back at the Boleyn Ground for the visit of Newcastle United
West Ham United will continue to bid a fond farewell to the Boleyn Ground with the second themed match of the season for the visit of Newcastle United on Monday 14 September.
The Hammers will honour the Boys of ’86 – the squad of players who achieved the Club’s best-ever league finish of third in the old Division One exactly 30 years ago.
The likes of Tony Cottee, Frank McAvennie, Ray Stewart, Alan Devonshire, Alan Dickens and Mark Ward will all be back at the Boleyn for the Barclays Premier League clash with the Magpies - for which a VERY LIMITED number of tickets remain available to buy here.
The Boys of '86 thrashed Monday's visitors 8-1 in April 1986, with Alvin Martin scoring a hat-trick past three different goalkeepers! Send your own memories of that famous season to [email protected] and the best will be included in Monday's Official Programme.
To get you in the mood for what promises to be a memorable evening of nostalgia, we will be building up to the big game – which will be screened live in the UK by Sky Sports and across the world – with a host of features across our digital and social media platforms.
