A sparkling display gave Spurs a 3-1 first leg lead over FC Porto in this European Cup-Winners Cup Second round tie.

Gary Lineker put Tottenham ahead on 14 minutes, with a hooked volley and then Gordon Durie made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute.  Emil Kostadinov gave Porto some hope when he reduced the arrears after 52 minutes, but Lineker gave Spurs the two goal cushion again when he scored again eight minutes from time, following eleven passes that lead to the Spurs forward coolly passing the ball past Victor Baia into the net.

Two goals saw Spurs progress in the European Cup-Winners Cup on aggregate over Hajduk Split at the Lane.

Erik Thorstvedt was called in just an hour before kick-off to replace Ian Walker, who had gone down with tonsilitis and there was also a call for the Spurs change kit of all yellow, with Hadjuk turning up with white shirts and blue shorts and socks.

An early goal saw David Tuttle score after only six minutes to level the aggregate score and Godron Durie’s goal eight minutes later put Tottenham in control.  Novakovic was sent off in the second half, although Split pressed forward looking for the away goal that would have taken them into the next round, but Spurs played out the game without any trouble.

Hajduk Split won a tight Cup-Winners Cup First Round First leg against Spurs played in Linz, Austria, because of the civil war in Yugoslavia.  A 53rd minute goal was the reward for putting Spurs under pressure throughout the game, but especially in the first half.  Tottenham had a strong finish, but could not convert the chances they created.

Eight minutes after half-time, Split took the lead when Mario Novakovic had a long range shot which managed to squirm past Walker’s hands as he took his eyes off the ball and it  trickled over the line.  Walker redeemed himself a couple of minutes after the goal when Kozniku raced through and the keeper foiled him with a dive at his feet.  Robert Jarni had been proving problematical on the left wing, making runs from full back, but Paul Allen came on for David Howells to prevent him attacking that wing.

Spurs broke away in the 65th minute, but Lineker shot wide of the target, then Paul Stewart went close after a determined run and Samways volleyed wide, before Vucevic brought a good save out of Walker to stop his 77th minute free-kick.  Tottenham finished the game on the attack, with Nayim going close and then Stewart had a great chance meeting Samways’ free-kick with his head, but the ball stayed out and Split were well worth their narrow victory.

Teams :
Hadjuk Split –   Bosko Boskovic, Predrag Erak, Robert Jarni, Igor Stimac, Jiri Jeslinak, Goran Milanko, Mario Novakovic, Ante Mise, Ivica Mornar (Eduard Abazi 66), Goran Vucevic, Adrian Kozniku (Hari Vukas 79)

Spurs made a bold effort in getting the tie back from Real Madrid in the Bernabeu stadium, but failed with a combination of bad luck and some dubious refereeing.

Mark Falco’s second half header was ruled out for a foul, but this seemed a harsh decision, while Steve Perryman was later sent off for bringing down Valdano as he was through on goal.

Spurs fell to their first home defeat in a European tie as Real Madrid left White Hart Lane with a 1-0 victory.

The Real defence held firm, as Tottenham created a number of openings, but could not find a testing effort on goal.  A breakaway at the other end, Steve Perryman’s attempt to stop the cross from Emilio Butragueno getting to Jorge Valdano saw the ball bounce off his knee and past Ray Clemence in the Spurs goal.

Tuesday
Kick off .

Spurs were given a harsh lesson in brutalism, as the Czech side Bohemians played football to match the surrounding Prague architecture and Spurs were resolute in getting a 1-1 draw that saw them through to the quarter-finals.

In a tight little ground for a Tuesday afternoon kick-off, the Bohemians fans, who had been friendly outside, turned into a small, but frenzied crowd, who had come armed with bottles, firecrackers and smoke-bombs to throw onto the pitch.  The intimidating atmosphere failed to affect Tottenham, who took the lead in the 13th minute when Garth Crooks played the ball wide for Tony Galvin to cross onto Mark Falco’s head and he planted the ball into the net.

Spurs had surprisingly picked up two yellow cards to the one issued to the home side, but that was until a minute before half-time.  Glenn Hoddle was played the ball receiving it with his back to the home goal, in the centre circle.  Aware that he was about to be tackled, he turned, but was hit with boot, elbow and some teeth in a really violent tackle that saw the Spurs man carried off with his head bandaged to stem the blood from a gash on his forehead and the offender only got a yellow card.

Another crunching tackle a minute after the break brought a third booking for the home side, they did manage to play a bit of football when Hruska’s cross was headed in at the far post by their captain Zdenek Prokes in the 50th minute.  The tackles flew in until the end of the match and Graham Roberts needed stitches over his left eye and suffered a cut shin, but it was Tottenham who were able to live to fight another day.

Teams :
Bohemians –  Vladimir Borovicka, Josef Kukucka   46, Jaroslav Marcik (Stanislav Levy 46), Zdenek Prokes (c), Frantisek Jakubec   13, Zdenek Koukal, Milan Skoda, Jiri Sloup   44, Vladimir Hruska   61, Tibor Micinec, Petr Janecka

The performance that Bohemians of Prague put up at White Hart Lane was in stark contrast to what was to come in the return in Czechoslovakia, but Tottenham’s 2-0 home win was a useful lead to take to Prague.

The speed and fluidity of the Czech side’s passing took Spurs by surprise and they created some good chances, but failed to take any of them. When John Chiedozie launched Tottenham’s first threatening attack, his low cross was rashly sliced into his own net by Jiri Ondra with 25 minute gone.  The visitors still attempted to go forward, while putting up a stern defence, which many journalists regarded as one of the best performances against an English side, with Tottenham one of the luckiest to survive such a display, so it was only rubbing salt into the Bohemians wound when Gary Stevens unleashed an unstoppable 89th minute strike from 25 yards out to give Spurs what looked a comfortable in on paper.

Spurs roared into the next round with a 3-0 victory to see them through 3-2 on aggregate against Club Brugge at White Hart Lane.

Starting without the suspended Chris Hughton, who was booked for the second time in the competition in the first leg and Glenn Hoddle who was dismissed in Belgium, Spurs set about their task with vigour.

Graham Roberts put an early tackle in on Ceulemans, who limped about for the rest of the match, but Micky Hazard levelled the aggregate score within five minutes with a good strike.  With two quick goals within seven minutes, Tottenham were coasting by the break and Brugge offered little in return.

Tony Galvin put in a cross that Jensen flapped at and Clive Allen was on hand to knock the ball into the net from six yards and then, after the ball had bobbled around the penalty area, it fell to Graham Roberts, who was 30 yards out, to smash the ball with great ferocity past the helpless Brugge keeper.

Wednesday.

A nightmare game for Spurs saw Glenn Hoddle sent off for two bookings and only a Clive Allen strike late in the game gave Tottenham a lifeline in the second leg.

Skipper Jan Ceulemans opened the scoring for the Belgian side after just six minutes and then Steve Perryman conceded a penalty, which was rammed home by the Danish keeper Birger Jensen, who was the regular Brugge penalty taker with eight minutes left in the game.

Spurs managed to hold out for the remainder of the match and then seven minutes from time, Allen came on to score an important away goal for the ten men of Spurs after Hoddle had been sent off for not retreating from a free-kick.

The second leg proved easier than expected for Tottenham, with a 6-0 victory wrapping up a 9-0 aggregate win.

Young defender Carlos Carvahal sent a weak header out, but it went towards Gary Stevens, who dispatched a powerful drive past keeper Helder to give Tottenham a flying start and Chris Hughton followed up with a second on fifteen minutes after being put through by Micky Hazard.  Carvahal failed to intercept Tony Galvin’s cross and Garth Crooks was let in to head the third Spurs goal with 25 minutes gone.

Glenn Hoddle entered the field at the break for his first appearance since getting injured six months before and he opened the way with a fine pass through the defence for Crooks to make it 4-0 twelve minutes into the second period.  Mark Falco made it five with a 66th minute close range effort and then Crooks seized on a poor Dito back-pass to score his hat-trick goal after 82 minutes and see Tottenham through convincingly.

The First Round first leg meeting with Portuguese side Braga found Spurs taking a 3-0 lead back to London for the second leg.

Despite the home side hitting the frame of the goal on three occasions, Mark Falco scored twice and Tony Galvin also got on the score-sheet to record a good away win.  Galvin and Hughton worked the left wing well to create Falco’s first on 31 minutes, with Hazard playing a through ball for the Spurs striker to net his second as the half-time whistle approached.  Galvin got in on the act in the dying stages of the first half, as Hughton set him up for his goal.

A tense night at White Hart Lane saw Spurs pick up the UEFA Cup, but only after going a goal behind and then facing a penalty shoot-out.

Alex Czerniatinski raced clear to hit Anderlecht into a shock lead that silenced White Hart Lane with an hour of the game gone, as he delicately lifted the ball over Tony Parks.  Spurs looked as though they might suffer their first ever home defeat in Europe and when substitute Ossie Ardiles fired against the bar from close range and it flew out, it looked as though it was not to be Tottenham’s night.  However, the ball was played back in by Micky Hazard and captain on the night Graham Roberts chested the ball down and rammed it home from a few yards out to level the score with just seven minutes left on the clock.

Into extra time, there were few chances and the penalty shoot out went to and fro.  Graham Roberts, Mark Falco, Gary Stevens and Steve Archibald scored for Spurs, then Parks saved Morten Olsen’s penalty and with the chance to win the cup for Tottenham, Danny Thomas had his spot-kick saved too.  When Arnar Gudjohnsen stepped up to take his kick, Tony Parks flung himself to his right and pushed it out to see Spurs take the trophy for the second time.

A Paul Miller goal gave Spurs the lead in the UEFA Cup Final first leg in Brussels.  Miller rose head Mike Hazard’s 57th minute corner into net to put Tottenham into a strong position.

However, two drawbacks left the second leg in the balance, as Steve Perryman received his second yellow card of the tournament and would be suspended for the second leg and five minutes from time defender Morten Olsen scrambled an equaliser from close range.

Spurs trailed from the first leg, but with the knowledge that the all important away goal meant that a one goal win would be enough to progress to the final.

The fact that that goal came six minutes into the match meant Tottenham were aware of the need for a clean sheet for the remaining 84 minutes.  A handball outside the box gave Micky Hazard the opportunity to drill home a 25 yard free-kick low past the Spilt keeper.  A hold-up occurred after the goal, as Hazard lost a contact lens in the celebrations and it had to be found before he left the field to put it back in !!

Although Split had to come out to score the goal that would have seen them through, Spurs kept them at bay and almost scored a second themselves through Archibald, who hit a good chance just wide.

On a soaking wet night in Split, Spurs went down 1-2 after taking the lead.

As the rain poured down after a sunny afternoon, Mark Falco took a penalty awarded for handball.  His shot was saved by Zoran Simovic, but he followed up and slid in Tottenham’s goal with 19 minutes gone.   At the other end, Tony Parks could only watch as one header from Ivan Gudelj slithered in on 67 minutes and another saw him hampered as the winner for the home side hit the net courtesy of Dusan Pesic ten minutes later.  Spurs did have the away goal, which was useful in this backs to the wall performance after a good start.

The Prater stadium, in the shadow of the famous Viennese Wheel, was the setting for Tottenham’s UEFA Cup Fourth Round second leg meeting with Austria Vienna.

Gary Stevens and Steve Archibald paved the way as Alan Brazil made it 3-0 on aggregate with a neat 15th minute left footed finish from close range to send the Spurs fans held in a cage into raptures.  While Vienna pressured Tottenham, there were few threatening moments and when Ossie Ardiles fired high into the home goal off the crossbar in the 82nd minute the tie was securely wrapped up.

However, not wanting to go down without a fight, two goals in the last few minutes from Prohaska (a penalty when Stevens pushed Nyilasi) in the 82nd minute and a deflected Nyilasi shot salvaged a 2-2 draw with two minutes left on the clock, but it was not enough to stop Tottenham going through to the semi-final.

A 2-0 win over Bayern Munich at White Hart Lane in the second leg of the Third Round UEFA Cup, saw Tottenham seal an aggregate win over the German side.

Both sides played open attacking football, which lead to goal-mouth incident at either end of the pitch, with a first half pass to the left by Glenn Hoddle seeing Mark Falco drive the ball first-time across the keeper Pfaff to striker the far post.  The striker then dribbled the ball to the edge of the Bayern area to the right of the goal, before prodding an effort at goal that Pfaff had to react to with a dive to his left to push wide.  Danny Thomas and Richard Cooke linked well on the right wing to provide a cross in the 23rd minute, which dropped to Ally Dick and his volley into the ground caused panic amongst the Bayern defenders, with Steve Perryman almost getting a telling touch in the six yard box.

A quick Glenn Hoddle free-kick spotted Steve Archibald free in the area just to the side of the wall and although his first touch wasn’t great, he turned to shoot and it took a deflection that had the keeper scrambling to his left to dive on the ball as it neared the line.

Glenn Hoddle had the first chance of the second half.  A long throw from substitute Gary O’Reilly bounced in the area and was only half-cleared to Hoddle on the edge of the box.  He cleverly flicked the ball up with his left foot before hitting a looping volley with his right that forced Pfaff to tip the dropping ball over the crossbar.  It was another free-kick that produced Tottenham’s opening goal in the 53rd minute.  From 35 yards out on the right, Hoddle found Graham Roberts’ head at the far side of the penalty area and his knocked the ball back towards the six yard box.  At the far post, Archibald lurked and he killed the ball before firing it into the net off the keeper.

Roberts produced a good block tackle on Dremmler, as he was poised to shoot having taken Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s return pass inside the box and then Ray Clemence denied the defender by shovelling a shot around his near post.  Michael Rummenigge headed a corner over the bar at the near post, while his brother Karl-Heinz broke through two tackles on the right to get to the penalty area and hit a rising shot at Clemence’s near post that the keeper dived upwards to push wide.  Dremmler and K-H Rummenigge were enjoying the space on their right wing and when the captain crossed low into the six yard box, Danny Thomas mis-kicked, with the ball going out to Michael Rummenigge, eight yards out, only for him to sky his effort way over the Spurs bar.

O’Reilly’s free-kick from his own half was cleared, but Roberts played a controlled pass to Hoddle, who dug out a pass that sent Mark Falco free beyond Augenthaler and the striker hooked the ball from the left as he fell, sending his left-footed effort in off the far post to give Tottenham an aggregate lead in the 87th minute.  There was concern when Bayern won a late free-kick to the right side of the penalty area, but when Karl-Heinz Rummenigge played it in with some pace on it, there was a Spurs head to knock it away.

Spurs travelled to Germany in the grip of a cold snap, which left the pitch frozen solid and the match in doubt.  However, it went ahead with players wearing gloves and tights to stay as warm as they could in the -10°C temperature at the Olympic Stadium.

The Tottenham team started well and Archibald and Falco tested Pfaff in the Bayern goal, but the home side began to dominate on the slippery surface.  Influential midfielder Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had to leave the play at half-time with an injury, but Munich came strongly in the second half with Danish midfielder Lerby was unlucky with two free-kicks.  However, with only five minutes remaining, it was Michael Rummenigge who ran directly at the Tottenham defence and rifled a shot that found the target past Ray Clemence in goal.

Travelling to the de Kuip stadium for the first time since the infamous UEFA Cup final of 1974, there was still some trouble, but much less than the match nine years before as Spurs won 2-0 to progress from the Second Round of the UEFA Cup.

Gary Mabbutt had already gone close with a header before a good run forward saw Chris Hughton play a one-two and slot the ball past Feyenoord goalkeeper Hiele on 25 minutes and Spurs controlled the game well, but had to wait until six minutes from the end for Tony Galvin’s measured finish to wrap up a 6-2 aggregate win.  Ray Clemence made two very good saves when the score was 1-0 to protect the Tottenham lead, one of which was a fine one-handed stop two minutes before half-time, when Andrej Jeliazkov threatened.

It was Jeliazkov who was the most dangerous Feyenoord forward, hitting the bar in the second half, while substitute Peter Houtman had a good chance, but shot just wide.  Falco troubled the Feyenoord goal a couple of times, just failing to test the keeper before Galvin added the finish to hand Spurs a well-deserved 2-0 win.

Feyenoord – Joop Hiele, Andre Stafleu, Sjaak Troost, Ivan Nielsen, Ben Wijnstekers, Wim van Til (Peter Houtman 46), Andre Hoekstra, Johan Cruyff, Andrey Zhelyazkov, Pierre Vermeulen (Mario Been 37), Ruud Gullitt,

Fans witnessed a Glory, Glory Night under the floodlights at White Hart Lane, as Spurs swept aside Johan Cruyff’s Feyenoord side with a scintillating first half display.

Starting as early as the seventh minute, Steve Archibald scored to begin a domination of the Dutch team.  Tony Galvin’s 19th minute goal doubled the lead and Archibald scored his second 33 minutes in (with a young Ruud Gullit being substituted before the restart), with Galvin adding another six minutes later.  The architect of the win was Glenn Hoddle, who showed a master-class of passing to upstage the legendary Dutchman.

The old master did have a say in the game, with a 75th minute goal and nine minutes from time, Ivan Nielsen made it 4-2 with a second away goal.
