Season summary In the 1960–61 season, Ted Fenton left West Ham in March which was never fully explained by the club. Under strain and on sick-leave and with West Ham's league position suffering he left the club under circumstances which both he and the club decided would remain confidential. He was succeeded as manager in April 1961 by Ron Greenwood, who guided the Hammers to a 16th-place finish at the end of the campaign. West Ham won just one match on the road during the season, a 2-1 defeat of Manchester City on 12 November. The Hammers lost 12 away matches, which dramatically impacted the team's place in the league table. The biggest win of the year was a 6-0 victory at home against Arsenal on 5 November. Dave Dunmore scored a hat trick while John Dick, Andy Malcolm, and Phil Woosnam contributed scores as well. The Hammers faced Second-Division side Stoke City in the Third Round of the FA Cup. The Potters forced a replay with a 2-2 draw at Upton Park. West Ham once again faltered away from home with a 1-0 defeat in the replay match.
