West Ham United vs Crystal Palace History

These clubs first shared a pitch in 1906, in the Southern League. It wasn’t until the 1921/22 season that they met in the Football League for the first time.

West Ham and Crystal Palace clashed in the 1914 FA Cup, their first-ever meeting in this competition. The Hammers were 2-0 winners of this Second Round tie at Upton Park, before losing to the eventual runners-up Liverpool.

Following the 1922/23 campaign of the old Second Division, West Ham and Crystal Palace didn’t cross paths again for almost 50 years. That spell came to an end in 1969, when the teams first contested a top-flight fixture.

Palace were relegated from the First Division in 1973, before returning six years later having even dropped down to the Third Division in that time. In 1981, the Eagles once again dropped out of the first tier of the Football League.

In 1989, Crystal Palace were promoted to the First Division while West Ham had been relegated to the Second Division. Palace remarkably claimed a third-place finish in the 1990-91 season and subsequently became a founding member of the Premier League the following year.

After both teams dipped in and out of the top flight, they finally shared a Premier League fixture in 1994/95. West Ham won this fixture, 1-0, with ex-Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison scoring the decisive goal.
