Hamer's third-minute red sets West Ham opposition record
Lincoln City lost two players inside 23 minutes of their 6–0 defeat by West Ham. Knees up Mother Brown reports that Tom Hamer's third-minute dismissal was the earliest opposition red card in a match featuring West Ham. Conor McGrandles went in the 23rd minute, which the site ranks third on its list.
The same retrospective names Kevin Nolan's ninth-minute sending-off against Millwall in February 2012 as the earliest known for a West Ham player. It cautions that records before the 1960s are incomplete.
