1980 - 1989
Trophy Cabinet

After a dreadful start to the season the Hammers received some respite and a turn of fortune with a 2-1 win against Oxford United at the Manor Ground in October 1987.

West Ham carved out a winning performance based on a solid defensive formation. Manager John Lyall admitted afterwards “the lads did their backs to the wall stuff brilliantly”.

The Hammers endeavours didn’t go unnoticed by the Football League sponsors as they scooped the Barclays Bank “Performance of the Week” silver salver.

Note:

The match was actually played on the 17 October 1987
