Classic match
Newcastle United 2-3 West Ham United
Division One
3 September 1977
West Ham United went into this match with Newcastle United on 3 September 1977 today having lost their first four games of the season - three in the league and one in the League Cup.
They only had a single goal to their name as well, but made full use of the trip to St James' Park to record their first points of the season.
Micky Burns and Tommy Cassidy were on target for the hosts, but their goals counted for little as the Hammers notched three of their own. Billy Jennings, Alan Taylor and Bryan Robson scored for West Ham to lift them to 18th in the table.
However, the 1977/78 campaign would not be a successful one for both of these teams, as the pair suffered the pain of relegation to Division Two.
