This was the heaviest  defeat in the club's history to date. The Southern Charity Cup-tie at Tottenham attracted 3,000 spectators, the weather was damp and cold and the turf slippery. The United included two reserves and was put under severe handicap when Bamlett had to retire after  injuring a leg. Thereafter West Ham employed only one back. The Spurs' were at full strength and played grandly in the first half. Four down at half-time. Hammers should have rearranged their side with two backs. Kingsley might have saved two of the goals but the other eight were unstoppable.
The first Tottenham goal came in the eighth minute, Kirwan sprinted away and centred for Woodward to left foot it in. Soon after Blamlett and Piercy made a hash of stopping one of Woodward's runs and the resultant injury to Bamlett caused his retirement to the touchline.
O'Hagen completed a splendid solo effort for number two. A pass from Stansfield found Brearley and his long shot found a way through the packed West Ham goal area for three. From a corner Brearley made it 4-0 at half-time.
The match restarted with O'Hagan missing from the Spurs line-up, he had been injured in a clash with Piercy the Hammers centre half just prior to the break. Woodward signalled O'Hagans return to the field by scoring number 5. The 6th goal was a penalty. Piercy deliberately tripped Woodward, when he appeared likley to score, and Tait converted his third successive penalty kick. The next two goals both came from Woodward, both were the result of excellent runs by the amateur and both were un-aised.
O'Hagan netted the 9th and Woodward receiving from Stansfield made it double figures. At the end the Spurs met with a hearty reception from their fans. Gate receipts raised £83.
