Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with Heineken...
The Boys of '86 continued their charge to a third place finish in the top flight with a remarkable 8-1 victory over Newcastle United on this day 38 years ago.
Remarkable not only for the scoreline, but for the fact that Alvin Martin bagged a hat-trick against three different goalkeepers!
The first stopper Martin Thomas was nursing a shoulder problem and he was picking the ball out of the net with just five minutes on the clock after Martin volleyed home Alan Devonshire's free-kick into the six-yard box.
The hapless Thomas was then beaten by speculative long-rangers from Ray Stewart and Neil Orr before Glenn Roeder inexplicably flicked the ball into his own net. With both his shoulder and pride hurting profusely, Thomas failed to emerge for the second period.
Rookie midfielder Chris Hedworth pulled on the green jersey for the restart but he was soon in trouble, too, after falling awkwardly and cracking his collarbone.
Midway through the half, Martin headed in Tony Gale's flick-on following Mark Ward's corner and as the brave Hedworth returned outfield before subsequently retiring, Peter Beardsley donned the gloves. Although Billy Whitehurst pulled one back for the visitors, Paul Goddard and Frank McAvennie then made it 7-1.
With six minutes left, a Roeder handball gave Martin the chance to claim the match ball and make it 8-1 to the Hammers.
Despite his later claims that his England team-mate was Beardsley was pulling funny faces at him, the Mexico 86-bound Scouser successfully stroked in from the spot.
