West Ham United's glorious 1964 FA Cup final victory in pictures

West Ham United lifted the FA Cup for the first time in the Club's history in front of 100,000 fans at Wembley Stadium on 2 May 1964 - exactly 59 years ago.

The Hammers came from behind to beat Preston North End 3-2 in a thrilling FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, with John Sissons and Geoff Hurst scoring equalisers before midfielder Ronnie Boyce headed in a dramatic winning goal in the 90th minute.

The build-up, the game itself and the celebrations were all caught on camera, and here we reflect on a glorious moment in West Ham United history in pictures.
