The game was also notable for probably the best shot of Tommy Taylor's career - a first time volley that the keeper just tipped away from the top corner. West Ham eventually lost 4-2, the likes of Keith Coleman, Tommy Taylor and John McDowell being undone by the brilliance of Rob Rensenbrink and Francois Van Der Elst (who was good, but never that good, when he signed for West Ham a number of years later).
Flying So High also covers the FA Cup Finals of 1923 (no, I wasn't there), 1964, 1975, 1980 and 2006, the League Cup Final of 1981, the Play-Off Final victories of 2005 and 2012 and the classic 1965 Cup Winners' Cup win at Wembley. Let's hope there might be another chapter to add after this season. Click on the link to read the Amazon reviews.

I remember that game. My mom wanted to watch coronation Street or some other rubbish so I had to go down the street And watch the game at a neighbors house. When Pat Holland scored I thought we were going to win it. I've never forgiven Anderlect since then
Yes and at 2-2 looked like we might go on to win. Though we also failed to win in the final 16 league games of that season
