_**Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history...**_
Billy Bonds' West Ham United were on the way towards promotion back to the top flight when we defeated Charlton Athletic on this day in 1990.
Following a strong start to the Second Division campaign, the Irons welcomed Charlton over the Thames sat third in the table.
Martin Allen's double ensured we would move up to second, with a long-range strike and a calm one-on-one finish ensuring Alex Dyer's reply was just a consolation.
Second place was where we would end the campaign too, earning that place in Division One as runners-up to Oldham Athletic.
