On this day - 4 October

Classic match

West Ham United 4-0 Chesterfield
Division Two
3 October 1947

West Ham United winger Ken Tucker made an impressive start to his Hammers' career as he scored a hat-trick on his debut against Chesterfield on this day in 1947.

That game proved to be the highlight of his season - and arguably career - as he only made four more appearances that season.

The Hammers finished the season in sixth place, ten points off the promotion spots. Chesterfield finished in 16th.
