FA Cup 1963 1964 Preston North End West Ham United
Finale
2 Mai 1964
Wembley Stadium
The semi-final draw guaranteed that a Second Division club would again reach Wembley and it was Preston who edged home. Although McLaughlin scored for Swansea, goals from Alex Dawson and centre-half Tony Singleton saw North End through. Joining them in the final were West Ham, whose wait had been even longer. Forty-one years had passed since they went down to Bolton, but Ron Greenwood was fashioning a side that would open a new chapter at Upton Park. Marshalled by Bobby Moore and spearheaded by Geoff Hurst, the Hammers began their journey by settling local difficulties against Charlton and Leyton Orient. Hurst scored twice against the Os, and then hit two more as Swindon were beaten at the County Ground. The quarter-finals pitted West Ham against top division opponents for the first time. Burnley's star was waning from their tide-winning season four years earlier but they remained a top-half side. Two goals from Johnny Byrne helped the Hammers home 3-2.

FA Cup 1974 1975 Final West Ham Fulham
3 Mai 1975
Wembley Stadium
Wembley Stadium
The Hammers won only thirteen of their forty‑two League games during the 1974‑5 season, while Fulham averaged exactly one point per match in the Second Division. Yet, such is the fickleness of Cup fortune that, against all the odds, two moderate sides fought their way to the Final.It was a Final abounding in personalities. Alec Stock and Ron Greenwood had already tasted Cup success at Wembley as managers and Fulham could boast two ex‑England captains in Mullery and Moore

West Ham United Official Story
West Ham hâve long been known as the Football Academy, riot only for the class of footballer they turn out but also for the class of football they play. Never was that image better illus- trated than on the day they won the Cup-Winners’ Cup at Wembley in 1965. They defeated Munich 1860 on a night which was a crédit to English football. Many of West Ham’s heroes that night went onto greater things. Manager Ron Greenwood would take up the same post with England and lead them to the finals of both the 1980 European Championship and the 1982 World Cup. Left-half Bobby Moore captained England to victory in the 1966 World Cup triumph, supported by Hammers Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst. Hurst, of course, made history as the only man to score a hat- trick in a World Cup Final when he put three past Hans Tilkowski. It is an odd feature of West Ham’s career in Europe that, until 2006, they had competed only in the Cup-winners Cup. In 1964-65 they competed as FA Cup holders and the following season as defending champions. However, defeat both home and away at the hands of eventual winners Borussia Dortmund ended their European com- mitment for nearly a decade. After winning the FA Cup against Fulham in 1975 - this time with Moore on the losing side - West Ham re- turned to Europe. They beat Lahden Reipas, Ararat Erevan, Den Haag and Eintracht Frankfurt on their way to the Final against Anderlecht in their home city of Brussels. In the Heysel stadium goals by Pat Holland and Keith Robson were not enough. Two goals each from Rob Rensenbrink and François Van der Elst meant the Hammers lost 4-2. Van der Elst, ironically, later spent two seasons at Upton Park.
