Proper old school cup tie and just look at that pitch - Great days indeed from a QPR fan

Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing the 6th round v Arsenal, the semi and the final, but I always wondered about this match. Pretty tight affair but the Hammers just about deserved to go through. Strange to think that Phil Parkes was in goal for WHU in the 1980 final!

Met Trevor Brooking and Frank Lampard, great men, great times.

Was at the match as a 14 year old, West Stand Block D, Row O, Seat 4. Was probably the first time I'd experienced the whole ground singing Bubbles at the same time. Still sends shivers down my spine. Managed to see every game home and away in that Cup run and didn't miss a West Ham FA Cup game for years afterwards.

What's wrong with it? That's not a proper 70s winter football pitch, there's actualy some grass on it!

When football was a contact sport, And though the pitches were often in bad condition, the football technique was good, nowadays football pitches are like billiard tables and Footballers from all around the globe play ,but the element of contact sport has made football a horrible watch of gamesmanship and light weight excuses to collapse on the floor holding the legs ,looking to get players booked ,or to win a free kick

I was at this match, the place was packed. I went to every round that year, bar the third round match at Southampton.
