I had a Google. 1994 and Lee Chapman scored in a 1-0 win.
One out of three ain't bad. Ain't particularly good though either.....

Still better than me, I forgot we ever played them! Chappers scored remarkably few goals for us, in the couple of seasons he was with us he only scored about seven or so.

OK then Irons fans, who did West Ham buy from non-League Hereford after beating them in the FA Cup in 1972 ?

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Dudley Tyler. Coincidentally, Jarrod Bowen, who is also a winger, used to play for Hereford as a youth team player.

I shall have to pass. I'm not a West Ham fan! Just remember some non-league teams playing top flight clubs in the Cup from my 'yoof'. The only Hereford player I know about from that era is Ronnie Radford. And I doubt it's him.

Vaguely on topic!
I saw Oxford United beat West Ham in the League Cup in 1990. Standing amongst the roughest of East London as we were herded back towards the station by the local police desperately trying, in a clearly South, not East, London accent to persuade the coppers to allow me out to go to my home a few hundred yards from the then stadium at Manor Road.
An interesting few years at that time for the Club in the Maxwell era. Rapid promotions, qualifying for Europe, but not able to take part, and plummeting down the divisions before eventually winning the Conference.

Now it's very unlikely that our league programme will be affected by the FA Cup. The only opponent left in who we are due to play on an FA Cup day is Stockport, and they would have to reach the Quarter Finals for that to happen! Unlikely but not impossible. Lincoln got to the quarterfinals in 2017 as a National League club. And of course we would have been their opponents if we had beaten Arsenal in the previous round. Now it's impossible!

Rapid promotions, qualifying for Europe, but not able to take part, and plummeting down the divisions before eventually winning the Conference. The very mention of Oxford Utd is enough to give me palpitations. The Hammers have an appalling cup record against them, plus our ill-fated signing of the highly talented but emotionally fragile Joey Beauchamp ended in ignominy, we paid £1.2m for him, a then record transfer fee for Oxford, and he never played a single competitive fixture for us. To cap it all, after he left us because he couldn't handle the tricky commute from Oxford to Upton Park(!) we played the U's in a pre-season friendly and they beat us 3-0. Of course, the hattrick hero of that game had to be Joey Beauchamp. It was a sweltering summer's day and a plague of angry wasps kept divebombing the away faithful on the terraces. A heavily inebriated skinhead chap in front of me kept plucking them out of the air and crushing them in his fist, blissfully oblivious of their stings. All in all, a pretty grim day out.
