On This Day in Football: Sheffield Utd score 10, Epic clash between Newcastle and West Ham

On this day in 1892, Sheffield United set a new Football League record by beating Port Vale 10-0 away from home in a Division Two fixture.

Port Vale, of course, were known as Burslem Port Vale back then and hosted United at their old Athletic Ground home in Codbridge, Stoke-on-Trent. A thousand fans graced the stands as Sheffield became the first away club to score ten goals in the Football League.

The two sides met again in the following week for the return leg at Bramall Lane where Sheffield won 4-0.
