On this day in 2010, saw a wonderful North London Derby comeback from the Lilywhites. 2-0 down to Arsenal at half time and having the prospect of the media’s nonstop ramming down our throats of 17 years without an away win going to go into overdrive, hadn’t accounted for Harry Redknapp’s halftime talk and the […]
On this day in 1887 a rivalry started – The North London Derby, as we now know it, was first played on this day on Tottenham Marshes – obviously, wasn’t the NLD then, given our neighbours were Royal Arsenal from Woolwich at the time and from south of the river. Not only did a rivalry […]
On this day in 1991, the club entertained Luton Town at home in the league. Trailing 1-0 into the second half, the floodlights failed at White Hart Lane, plunging the pitch into semi darkness. The club’s precarious financial state at the time was not lost on the crowd, with witty chants and comments about putting […]
On this day in 1964, a memorial match between a Tottenham XI and Scotland XI took place for John White, the game having been postponed due to fog from the night before. This game gave Spurs’ fans the opportunity to pay their respects to a ‘Legend of White Hart Lane’, the late John White, the […]
Going to Anfield is never an easy task, with history showing we don’t often get a positive result. With our wonderful 2-1 FA Cup Quarter Final win there from 1995 still in close memory, hopes were high we could repeat the feat on this November evening for the League Cup 4th Round tie. Spurs’ fans […]
Like any match between sides from England and Scotland, this European Cup Winners Cup tie was dubbed “The Battle of Britain” In fact, when answering questions about the prospects of meeting Rangers after the draw, Bill Nicholson went a little further and proclaimed it would be “The greatest game on earth” A little over the […]
On this day in 1972, Spurs eventually defeated Middlesbrough in the League Cup in what was the second replay of their Third Round tie. In the days of replays, if sides couldn’t be separated after extra time, it would go to another replay (and sometimes yet another) rather than a penalty shoot-out. Following a 1-1 […]
On this day in 2008, it was Harry Redknapp’s first match in charge and it gave us a glimpse of what we could expect! An injury time goal from Aaron Lennon made it 4-4! A topsy turvy match, saw us go ahead early on from a very long range strike from David Bentley. The Gunners […]
On this day in 1972, England star Martin Peters scored all four of our goals in front of a 52,497 crowd who saw our wonderful 4-1 victory over Man Utd at Old Trafford. It was our first point at Old Trafford (let alone win) in 10 visits to Old Trafford. It helped Spurs move to […]
