Classic match

West Ham United 2-0 Liverpool
Division Two
25 February 1956

The Hammers extended their fine run of form to just one defeat in ten games with a win over title chasing Liverpool at the Boleyn Ground.

West Ham were scrapping at the wrong end of the table when the Reds came to town, but they lifted some of the gloom with a helping hand from the opposition.

John Dick (pictured) and co, profited from two own-goals from the visiting Merseysiders with John Molyneux and Geoff Twentyman putting through their own net.
