Classic match
West Ham United 6-2 Leicester City
Division One
21 September 1974
West Ham United hit Leicester City for six on this day 41 years ago.
The Hammers actually sat at the foot of the table going into this clash, having taken only three points from their opening seven games, so this victory came as welcome relief.
Leicester had no answer to their hosts as four different players got on the scoresheet.
Both Bobby Gould and Billy Jennings bagged braces, while Billy Bonds and Keith Robson were also on target.
The mauling of the Foxes led to a revival as West Ham climbed into the top five of the table by December, although their challenge fizzled out and they finished 13th.
