00:00You'll notice that it is not the team that won the FA Cup at Wembley in May
00:04because there are changes at centre-half where Peters is in instead of Brown
00:07and at outside right where we have Sealy instead of Greybrook.
00:12But nevertheless, it's the same team that beat Wolverhampton five goals to nil here at Upton Park on Monday.
00:18Now, moving over to the Tottenham Hotspur team, the first position we look for is right back.
00:23There was a great doubt about whether Cyril Knowles, their new fullback, would be able to play
00:27but he passed a fitness test before the match and Bill Nicholson said he's okay
00:32so he goes into the side and not Peter Baker.
00:36The referee from Sheffield, George McCabe, one of the best in the business,
00:41just checks his watches and West Ham pick off against Tottenham Hotspur.
00:47So much talent on the field today, this should be a sparkling game
00:51because matches between these two clubs often produce a lot of goals.
00:57And here comes Dunn-Sessamines.
01:01And Marchant for West Ham in his closing opening seconds
01:04and a fine save by Jennings, he can be hurt.
01:08I think he got a boot on his hand, a very fine and daring save by Pat Jennings,
01:15the Irish international goalkeeper Spurne, the West Ham centre-forward.
01:20Chasing up with him is Norman, urging his men forward.
01:23More, er, is more rather, urging his men forward.
01:28Mallory, finding Dyson.
01:34Greaves.
01:37Hands-barred.
01:38No, they are quite right. Spurs were in possession.
01:42Sensible bit of refereeing there.
01:47Henry, finding Jones.
01:59Sensible bit of dust rising now and then, as the players turn quickly,
02:03shows how dry the brothers.
02:06This is Hurst.
02:12Oh, beautiful ball to Ben.
02:15He scored.
02:16Yes, I'll go.
02:19No, we're going to stop.
02:24Come on.
02:24Come on.
02:34Go.
02:35Go.
02:36Go.
02:41Go.
02:42Go to that.
02:42Go.
02:44Go. Go. Go., go.
02:47Hurst.
02:55Oh, that's a critical shot.
02:58And Jennings scored unawares, I think.
03:07Oh, what a bad go-kick.
03:11Obviously, there's no foul there unless you're a West Ham supporter.
03:15Byrne had to move quickly and obviously fell over Normandy.
03:27Throw to West Ham.
03:30It'll be time any second.
03:36Bovington getting that ball through to Moore.
03:38Now to Hurst.
03:39Moore again.
03:46Old Dyson, another careless one.
03:56Reeves, so far we've shut out of this game.
03:59Taking control.
04:03Referee has got watch in his hand.
04:08And there's the whistle for half-time with West Ham United leading Tottenham.
04:14One goal to nil.
04:17Jones, then Saul, the player ahead.
04:19One action.
04:20Red-haired.
04:21And Reeves.
04:21And it's Spurs who start the second half.
04:30And Reeves trying to come through and...
04:37is rather a discipline.
04:39Well, a terrible story.
04:41We've just heard from the press box.
04:43None of the Tottenham players know it.
04:44About Dave Mackay having been carried off in a reserve match.
04:47Having broken the...
04:49the leg again.
04:50The same leg as he broke it.
04:51Manchester United.
04:53So that's a bit of sad news for Spurs.
04:56Unconfirmed, of course.
04:57Now his Birkett for West Ham.
05:10Boyce to Berg.
05:15Offside given against Robertson.
05:16Offside given against Robertson.
05:21Up with Moore.
05:23Now Hurst.
05:24Back to Boyce.
05:28Ten minutes of the second half gone.
05:33No.
05:34West Ham leading one nil.
05:38Spurs on top now and it's Jones.
05:41To Robertson.
05:45Oh, Grease.
05:47He must score again.
05:48Oh, Grease.
06:04There's Jimmy Grease.
06:06He's equalized after 56 minutes.
06:09There's Grease.
06:13There's Grease.
06:14Just behind him is Bovington.
06:18Here's Bovington.
06:22That's Hurst.
06:28Just Ham priding a little too much in the middle.
06:32Oh, it's a beautiful true ball from Robertson to Jones.
06:38Penalty.
06:43Penalty.
06:44Penalty.
06:44Penalty to Coffman.
06:53Penalty to Coffman.
06:54And it's dead shock, Jimmy Grease, to take it.
06:58Score, 1-1.
07:05Unbelievable goal by Grease.
07:08Beautifully taken penalty.
07:1526 minutes of the second half gone and Jimmy Grease has put Spurs into a 2-1 lead.
07:29Well, there's two goal, Jimmy Grease, and West Ham have really been knocked off their perch by this tremendous second
07:37half rally of Tottenham's.
07:40Tottenham with much the better side in the second half.
07:49Tottenham with much the better side in the second half.
07:52Jones to Grease.
07:57Sealy.
07:59Sealy.
08:02Troll to West Ham.
08:04Heine to Beuys.
08:06Sealy to Beuys.
08:10Penalty.
08:12Penalty.
08:13Sealy.
08:13A blatant push in the back.
08:15No argument about that at all.
08:22There couldn't be any argument about that.
08:25Jones pushed in the back.
08:27Sealy in the back.
08:29So, a minute after Spurs have gone into a 2-1 lead with a penalty, West Ham have the chance
08:35to draw level with a penalty.
08:38I just can't see on what Spurs are facing their appeals against this decision.
08:52So, Byrne, who got the first for West Ham, is taking the penalty.
08:56The chance to be a two-goal man just like Jimmy Grease has become.
09:01What tension there is now.
09:03Dead visit.
09:05He has got it.
09:06A wide saver.
09:07That's it.
09:13Boyce to take it.
09:14Boyce has now moved up as an all-out attacker.
09:16Usually he's a mid-field player.
09:19This is Boyce.
09:21That goes by.
09:22A beautiful!
09:31Well, there's Butchie Brown.
09:34K-2 all.
09:36With 13 minutes left.
09:44That's right, pull your stockings up, Berg.
09:47Thirteen minutes left, and both these teams have been all out for the winning goal, because...
09:53Every man has given everything in this game.
10:00There's more.
10:05Talk and argue about this game.
10:07All week in the pubs, tubs, North and in East London.
10:13Grease back to Knowles.
10:15Getting a bit of crap.
10:16He's got to lose.
10:18Shinpads.
10:18Roll the stockings down.
10:23Solemn facing of 10 yards.
10:33Sissons in Billshurst.
10:42Ten minutes left.
10:44Two goals each.
10:55The sun bothering the players, now anything can happen, and Knowles, to Greaves.
11:08More, is it over? No, it isn't over.
11:11A lovely clearance, through to Hurst.
11:15The boys taking over, back to Sissons.
11:21Out of the ceiling.
11:29Out of the ceiling, by Jennings.
11:33In De Moor who comes, only that.
11:40Out boys, and this is Sissons.
11:45Henry Sinsserway giving away a corner.
11:49Now that surely, everyone's going to power up for this one.
11:52Moor is up there.
11:54And in the penalty area though.
11:57Seeley with the corner for West Ham.
12:00Hurst.
12:01And no!
12:03Burn has got his hat-tack.
12:16Hard to say who actually scored that, but never mind about who scored it, I said that it would be
12:24a last minute goal, and goodness, it's three minutes from the end, so who's arguing about a couple of minutes?
12:33Henry Sinsserway, Henry Sinsserway, Jones, the less stout-hearted than the West Ham fans, whistling as if they want the
12:41referee to blow the final whistle.
12:43And the final whistle's gone!
12:45And this landed by an exciting game of football, has been won by West Ham United, three goals to two,
12:53of a very gallant of losers in Tottenham Hotson.
12:56Thank you very much.
