    1984 - Spurs vs Anderlecht in the UEFA Cup final.

    I was 14 years old and at the match with my cousin who was 15. After the penalty shootout the crowd were going mental and we were pulled over the barriers by a copper because we were getting crushed against the barrier. My cousin lost his shoe in the process. We saw the cup presentation sitting on the side of the pitch :) My cousin had to travel all the way home with one shoe !

    Amazing night.

    God I feel old now !

    Agreed here. One of the greatest players ever in the English league.
    He is the reason I am a Spurs supporter.
    Pure genius.

    That would be the one i picked ... i was 19 at the time and queued up with mates for hours before kick off to get in whilst one of us run across the road to the corner pin to bring over the pints to keep ourselves refreshed.

    When we scored our equaliser near the end i went mental and duly got kicked out by the police ... went back inside the ground again in time for the start of the penalty shootout ... great stuff

    I did find this though which is a bit strange:

    Ahh yes this is my fav memory moment too. I was 12 & remember being in bed listening to BBC Radio Long wave on my folks radio under my duvet. My dad heard the crackling and came in to my bedroom..we both listened to the end of the game, Great memories. :)

    Gazza's 1991 semi-final goal here always gives me a smile too COYS

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    My earliest memories are when: Spurs beat United 3-1 at White Harte Lane and I am fairly sure Teddy got the goal for United that evening.

    Another one which was great was when Alan Nielsen headed in the winner in the last minute of the Worthington cup final against Leicester at the Old Wembly.

    My Dad took me to see Limerick United v Spurs in a friendly in the eighties (Market's Field I think). There were thousands there. Hoddle and Archibald played and scored I think (3 or 4-1 to Spurs was the result if I remember). Was sitting on the sideline and nearly got a boot in the head from Chris Hughton as he came out to kick a long ball. Magic day.

    I was in Limerick as well and still have the programme also. I also remember Spurs playing in Musgrave Park in Cork in the early 90s. Think that they won 3-0. Classic moment at half-time as they had a car on the halfway line as some car company were presenting it to the Lord Mayor or something. Gazza jumped in and locked the doors so they couldn't restart the game.

    Earliest memories. Saw two in my youth before leaving Tottenham for Cork. First was Martin Peters making his debut - only sorry that I missed the legendary Jimmy Greaves who went to West Ham as part of the same deal. Peters scored in the first half and we led 1-0 at half-time but lost 2-1 in the end (must try and check some day to see if my memory is correct). The other was the Youth Cup final second replay, also against Coventry. We won 1-0 with a cracking goal from Graeme Souness - just before he went back to Scotland in a huff

    Next game was as a teenager in the late 70s when I travelled over on the ferry to watch us take on Forest. I was standing in the Park Lane and Hoddle won it with a cracker at our end in the third minute. Fairly sure that it was his around his 21st birthday. This one is actually new enough to be on Youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1p1uk3mWs8

    Anyway that's enough - I could keep going all day.........

    My first time at the Lane was in '96 against Middlesborough. Dreadful game. We won 1 nil but there was a funny moment involving Stuart Nethercott. He's up there with the Gary Dotherty's of this world! He went up for a ball with a boro player. Ball bounces and Stuart loses the where abouts of the ball. Crowd shouts "its behind you!". Andy Sinton scored a scrappy winner. It was geat to see Juninho play though. Brilliant on the ball.
    Also been to the Lane against Portsmouth. 4-3 to us. Poyet with the winner off his thigh in the 6yd box in injury time :)
    It was the year City beat us 4-3 in the cup when we had been 3 nil up!
    Portsmouth were chanting "we're goin to beat you 4-3!". Eh, don't think so lads!
    I was also over for the '98 Worthington Cup Final with my bro's and Uncle. We watched the game in a small pub near Wembley full of Spurs fans and a handful of Leicester fans. When Nielson scored the ceiling dripped of lager for 5mins! Brilliant craic and sing song on the tube after. Surprisingly no Arse fans at the Highbury stop!

    The best memory though at the Lane has to be the whole game against City last December. What a night. Super atmosphere. I said to my mate, "There is no way City will beat us" before the game. 3 nil to us. Dawson and Lennon were class.
    "Adebayor... What's the score!"

    My favourite memory of the past few years has to be the CC victory over Chelsea. Berba's 4 goals would be up there too. I can think of quite a few, of which I'm sure most have been posted already.

    The Young Boys victory on our march to the CL stands out as one of the best nights in a long long time for us though, and you should all enjoy this video I made to remember it. :D

    Was sat on my own in with the Liverpool fans for that game. When Edman scored everyone around me was giving out yards to Dudek for not keeping it out. Didn't realise what a corker it was myself until I saw it on the TV afterwards. Should have really won the match though!

    I remember this goal well, because I was sitting at a roulette table in Las Vegas at the time... When the ball went in I got so excited, I stuck a few quid down on his number but it didn't work :(

    I remember crying during a visit to my grandparents house as Coventry beat us in the FA Cup Final.

    Last visit was the 2-2 draw v Leeds. Fairly nasty athmosphere leaving the East Stand that night - bottles were thrown as we left the stadium. Pulsating match though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭Undercover


    Very poor stewarding/policing that night, nearly led to a nasty aftermath. Myself and my pal got stuck on the front line facing the Leeds lot while others tried to squeeze in to Park Lane to get at them. Dodgy...

    October 1977 - Spurs had been relegated the previous season from the old 1st division. I was in Larch Hill as a boy scout. Spurs at home to Bristol Rovers. I phoned home for the result. Thought my father was having me on ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHazMyKZmRs

    Whatever happened to Colin Lee?

    Just 2 weeks previous we were 4-0 down in the San Siro against the reigning Euro Champs, with ten men. Luckily, the young prodigy Gareth Bale scored a remarkable hat-trick to restore some pride. 11 days later we lost a demoralising match against Man United at OT, thanks in no small part to Mark Clattenburg. Just 3 days later we would be lining out again against the reigning European champs.
    Hope was high, we believed we could beat anyone on our home patch, but Inter were different. They contained world class players like Samuel Eto'o, Maicon, Lucio and Wesley Sneijder. However, that didnt fathom our world class players. From the word go Luka Modric, Rafael Van der Vaart and Gareth Bale tore into them. We were playing them off the park. In the 18th minute, thanks to some great work from Modric, Van der Vaart broke the deadlock. Gareth Bale was terrorising the supposedly best RB in the world, Maicon, and in the 61st minute he laid it on a plate for the one and only Peter Crouch to put us 2-0 up. We were in dreamland. However, Samuel Eto'o brought us crashing back to earth with a sublime strike that left Carlo Cudicini for dead. Now it was game-on, again. But, yet again, our players stood up to the challenge. Led by the charismatic Gareth Bale we restored the two goal lead through Roman Pavlyuchenko. The Inter players didn't know what hit them. Lucio and Wesley Sneijder lost their tempers but Spurs continued to play the beautiful game the only way they know how.
    Long live the glory nights at White Hart Lane.

    I was 9 at the time, me Dad managed somehow to get tickets, to this day remember been hoisted into the air by a few Spurs fans around us when Nielson got the header. Amazing experience. On the way home on the Monday in the airport, we were in the queue for Burger King and we noticed that Stephen Carr was infront of us, got him to sign the program. He was on the way back to Ireland for an Irish international.

    First time I remember seeing my dad cry was that day. He's a Spurs supporter too by the way, it's not some random crying I'm referring to.

    Aside from that, I've always loved Robbie Keane's reaction to winning the Coca-Cola Cup. Sad to see him go.

    Go to minute 1:25......
