West Ham United FA Cup Finals Box Set 1964 FA Cup Final vs Preston North End The 1964 FA Cup Final is rightly remembered as one of the most dramatic finals ever witnessed. Ron Greenwood's up-and-coming Hammers were hot favourites, but Second Division Preston North End came close to producing another major upset in what has been described as truly a 'titanic battle' beneath the Twin Towers. 1965 European Cup Winners Cup vs TSV Munich Regarded as one of the finest club matches ever played. The Hammers returned to Wembley only a year after their last visit and thrilled millions across Europe, as they turned out a performance that could only be described as sensational. Having beaten La Gantoise, Sparta Prague, Lausanne and Real Zaragoza along their route to the Final, Greenwoods’ men were in fine form going into the Wembley showdown. 1975 FA Cup Final vs Fulham In only the second ever all-London Cup Final, West Ham started as favourites, but the neutrals favoured Fulham - who with Hammer's legend Bobby Moore marshalling their defence, posed a serious threat to John Lyall's men. It had been eleven years since the Hammers had last tasted success in football's most exciting and glamorous competition, but the stage was set for the trophy to return to the East End of London. 1980 FA Cup Final vs Arsenal Returning to Wembley for the second time in five years, this time around it was Second Division West Ham's turn to be the underdogs against Terry Neill's FA Cup holders Arsenal, who were making their record third successive Final appearance. In this, the 99th Final, it took only 13 minutes for the Hammers to break the dead-lock, when Trevor Brooking was on-hand to head the ball past Pat Jennings in the Arsenal goal. With a goal in the bag, West Ham United's astute manager John Lyall played all the right cards, as the Hammers simply out-foxed the Gunners in every area.
