Classic match
Blackburn Rovers 0-4 West Ham United
Division One
22 September 1962
West Ham United enjoyed a fruitful trip to the north west on this day 53 years ago when they returned home from Blackburn Rovers with four goals and two points under their belts.
It had been a disappointing start for the Hammers, who sat 18th in the table going into this game after picking up only six points from their first nine games of the campaign.
They would feel much better about themselves, however, after this match, which saw four different West Ham players get on the scoresheet.
Martin Peters, Geoff Hurst, Malcom Musgrove and Johnny Byrne were the men who did the damage, and Blackburn could not respond.
The Hammers' form saw a gradual improvement over the campaign and they ended up in 12th place, one below Blackburn in the final standings.
