02.04.1983 | Division 1 Away Lost 1-2
Spurs, hit by injuries and suspensions, met bottom club Brighton at the Goldstone and were grateful to Ray Clemence, who made a good save to Howlett’s volley early in the first half. Spurs had a chance when Brazil laid the ball into the path of Tony Galvin, but he got his shot all wrong and the ball was sliced wide from 18 yards out. Tottenham took the lead when a 25 yard free-kick saw Mabbutt and Archibald standing over the ball, with the Scot dragging the ball under the sole of his boot for Graham Roberts to run onto it and strike a low, straight shot that went underneath Moseley to find the net. Brighton moved the ball from right to left across the pitch and Gordon Smith ran at the Spurs defence, pulling the ball back to Gatting when he got into the box, but the shot from the former Arsenal man was way too high. At the start of the second half, a Spurs attack saw Brazil and Mabbutt fail to hit the target, but the ball fell to Terry Gibson unmarked eight yards out, which he couldn’t get under control and his eventual shot was blocked. The ball was spending a lot of time up in the sea air with the pitch bobbly and not conducive to decent football. So, when Galvin crossed from the left, Falco got his header on target forcing Moseley to dive right to push it away for a corner. Ramsey’s heavy and high tackle on Galvin might have escaped a booking, but the free-kick was taken quickly by Archibald to Hughton and the left back beat Foster in the area before pulling the ball back to Brazil, six yards out but he struck the bobbling ball against the bar, as he still awaited his first Spurs goal. Tottenham were nearly hit on the break as they conceded possession just inside the Brighton half and Case was sent away, with the presence of mind to set up Connor to his right. The signing from Leeds hit his shot from just outside the box, but sent it wide of Clemence’s right hand post. Ramsey eventually got into the referee’s book when he tripped Falco, who was bearing down on goal and when the same player went in hard and late on the Spurs forward again, there was an inevitable walk down the tunnel for the right back. The same fate awaited Tony Galvin when he fouled Case and was dismissed. Almost immediately, from the free-kick, the ball was played long and Gatting and Smith exchanged passes and the midfielder stumbled past Roberts into the area and knocked a left foot shot past Clemence’s right hand to give Brighton and equaliser. The home team were pressing forward and when O’Reilly won a header and put it out for a corner, substitute Gerry Ryan scored the winner. From Brighton’s first corner of the second half, Gatting won a header that Hughton blocked on the line with his chest, but when it popped up Ryan was first to it to head home from close-range. It could have been worse, when Connor took a header down 35 yards from goal, with a hint of handball and ran through, but his touch was too heavy and the ball was taken by Clemence. The comeback sealed the Seagulls’ first home win of 1983. Teams : |

The second half was a different story and Tottenham produced a better performance, with Garry Brooke’s 70th minute shot being stopped by Graham Moseley, but Crooks pounced to shoot home from a really tight angle to score the winning goal at the Goldstone Ground.

Chris Hughton and Ricky Villa notched Tottenham’s goals in a 2-0 win at Brighton. Hughton exchanged passes with Glenn Hoddle before finishing clinically and then Villa was strong enough to hold off challenges as he ran through to fire in a thunderous left footed shot to make it 2-0 still in the first half. There were further chances that Spurs did not take, but there was the added bonus that Peter Taylor returned to first team action after being out injured. Seagulls boss Alan Mullery was not impressed by his team’s performance, saying that they, “sat back and admired Spurs !” Teams – |

Apprentice Peter Southey made his debut for Tottenham, which his untimely death meant was his only first team appearance. Teams – Match Sponsor : – Bradford & Bingley Building Society |

15.04.1978 | Division 2 Away Lost 1-3
Brighton were on a good run of form with four wins out of five games coming into the Second Division match at the Goldstone Ground against Spurs. Top of the table Tottenham brought a big away support for this match with fourth place Brighton with thousands of Spurs fans forcing down the gates to gain entry to the Goldstone Ground and then causing trouble all around the stadium, with the referee stopping the game for fourteen minutes at one point. Closing down the Spurs midfield, Brighton used their wingers O’Sullivan and Towner to get behind Tottenham, but Paul Clark scored a fine solo goal after 28 minutes, running from inside his own half and then Graham Winstanley placed his volley wide of Daines to double the lead. Chris Jones’ goal in between, set up by Colin Lee when presented with the ball by goalkeeper Eric Steele’s goal-kick, could not stop Brighton turning around as 2-1 leaders. The home side dominated the second half, with substitute Eric Potts putting the game beyond Tottenham’s reach with a 72nd minute goal, which was only allowed after the referee had consulted his linesman and the ref was in action again a minute after the goal when he sent off Don McAllister.
