On this day in 1957, Spurs claimed their first away win of the season at the usually unlucky destination of Old Trafford. Even more remarkable, given Man Utd were third in the league at the time and took an early lead, but Spurs then came into their own (and went into overdrive) scoring 4 goals […]

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 […]
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 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 1989, Spurs travelled to Old Trafford to play Manchester United in the 3rd Round of the League Cup. This was the season that saw Alex Ferguson win his first trophy (of quite a few) for the Red Devils, but it wasn’t to be in the League Cup as we completely outplayed […]
On this day in 1977, saw an incredible match for Spurs in their Division 2 season. Bristol Rovers were the visitors to the Lane. The match also saw a Spurs debut for new signing, Colin Lee, who had joined the club just 2 days earlier from Torquay United. Nobody could foresee what was to follow […]
On this day in 1983, White Hart Lane welcomed one of the all time footballing greats – Johan Cruyff as his Feyenoord team were drawn to play Spurs in the UEFA Cup 2nd Round. The Feyenoord team also featured a young, less well known Ruud Gullit – wonder whatever happened to him! Billed as Hoddle […]
