Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, presented by Heineken...


West Ham United got the New Year's celebrations started early on this day 30 years ago, defeating Nottingham Forest 3-1 at the Boleyn Ground.

Most of the damage was done inside the opening 27 minutes, as Tony Cottee and Ian Bishop struck to give the Irons a 2-0 lead.

Michael Hughes added a third four minutes after the break, meaning Paul McGregor's last-minute consolation did little to lift the visitors' spirits.
