Everton v Spurs – Match Reports 1904-1979

Keith Burkinshaw said Spurs put in a “competent performance” to gain a point against Everton at Goodison Park.

Everton started strongly and it was no surprise when Bob Latchford gave them a 25th minute lead.  That only lasted six minutes though, as Gerry Armstrong put in a pacy cross for Chris Jones to power home a header to level the score.

The second half was a better one for Tottenham, who might have gained the extra point from a win, with Terry Yorath, Glenn Hoddle and Armstrong all close to getting the second goal.

Spurs and Everton played out an entertaining 3-3 draw at White Hart Lane, with a grandstand finish.

Andy King had an early shot blocked, but when Bryan Hamilton lost the ball to Conn in the Spurs half, the Scot ran forward and laid the ball left to John Duncan, whose shot was blocked, although his header to Perryman’s cross soon after went narrowly wide.  John Pratt put Spurs ahead in this match, which Tottenham should really have won.  25 minutes were on the clock when Hoddle chipped the ball through for Conn, but he was baulked off the ball by McNaught.  It ran loose to Bernard, whose loose pass was blocked by Pratt, who was first to the rebound and slotted into an empty net from the 18 yard line.

Everton looked to get back into the game with McNaught’s ball into Lyons laid off on the volley for Hamilton to drive at goal, but Jennings caught it at full length on the dive to his right.  Dai Davies was brought into action to tip over Peter Taylor’s 25 yard shot that was arrowing into the top corner, but he couldn’t stop Don McAllister netting the second goal on 36 minutes, as Pratt’s corner from the left saw him run in unmarked to head home from six yards out.

It was into the second half when Everton pulled a goal back, with McNaught’s chipped ball forward chested down for King by Lyons and the midfielder’s shot was heavily deflected past Jennings.  McNaught was on defensive duty when Conn played a one-two with Perryman and was only denied a good opportunity by the Everton centre-half.  Naylor broke up an Everton attack and then played it to Conn, who put Duncan away on right, hitting an early shot that Davies kept out with his legs, but Alfie was there again to get on the end of McAllister’s ball through the middle and pushed it past Davies before being brought down for a penalty.  The spot kick was scored by Keith Osgood with a fierce shot just to Davies’ right in the 73rd minute.

However, a late flurry from Everton saw them net two goals in the last few minutes to secure a point at 3-3.  Lyons had gone close before Latchford flicked on a free kick at the near post to allow McNaught to head in from close range with four minutes remaining.  McNab had a chance to put the game beyond Everton’s reach, when Perryman brought the ball forward and put the youngster down the right side.  He jinked inside and shot, but the ball flashed across the six yard box.

Trying to run the clock down, Taylor and Pratt were playing keep ball high on the left wing, until  they lost possession and it was quickly played through the middle by King to Latchford, who lifted over the diving Jennings as he came out to meet him to grab a share of the points with all but the last kick of the game.

Tottenham travelled away to Everton, but narrowly lost out 0-1 at Goodison Park in the First Division.

John Duncan got a shot in from close range and Roger Kenyon’s challenge pressured him to shoot just wide before Alfie Conn also went close twice in the first half, as Tottenham started well. But the home team exercised their advantage in the second half. With ten minutes left in the game, Jim Pearson scored the only goal of the game after coming on as a substitute.

Spurs almost pulled level when Steve Perryman hit a shot from the edge of the box that Dai Davies, the Everton keeper, did well to keep out.

Two early goals gave Everton a victory in this First Division meeting at White Hart Lane.

Bob Latchford put the Toffees ahead with an early goal, but Spurs might have equalised soon after, when Ralph Coates struck a shot that bounced out off the post straight after Latchford’s goal and Martin Chivers then headed another chance over the bar.  Everton capitalised when John Connolly hit a shot into the net to give them a lead they held until the final whistle.

Spurs took the points in this First Division match with a 2-1 win, but it did not come without a few close shaves.

Martin Chivers had powered Spurs ahead with a header from 12 yards out after 20 minutes from a Martin Peters free-kick and Alan Gilzean dived in to turn Martin Peters’ header past Everton goalkeeper Andy Rankin to net the winning goal of the game in the 53rd minute.  Just eleven minutes before, Joe Royle’s header had equalised for the visitors, who had lost Brian Labone early on in the game through injury.

Alan Mullery had a nervous moment as he cleared a ball off the goal-line with his head, but hit his own crossbar at the Paxton Road end as John Morrissey closed in.

Everton won by the odd goal in five to take the points at Goodison Park.

Everton striker Alan Whittle put the home side ahead in the 30th minute, but an equaliser was soon netted by Alan Gilzean, just three minutes later.  However, the Toffees went into the half-time break ahead, as Alan Ball shot past Pat Jennings from the penalty spot on 40 minutes with the award coming after Mike England had fouled Joe Royle.

Ball had the same opportunity in the 56th minute, but this time Jennings dived to his right to keep the ball out.  After Roger Kenyon had pulled Alan Gilzean’s shirt, Dennis Bond scored his only Spurs goal from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute to level things at 2-2, but then three minutes from time came Everton’s winner as Royle scored to make it 3-2.

The League match with Everton at White Hart Lane proved difficult to get played.

Initially scheduled for the last Saturday in November, the match was postponed owing to a heavy fall of snow on the morning of the game.  Re-arranged for a Wednesday night in December, the game had just reached the 30 minute mark when the floodlights went out caused by a failure at the electricity sub-station. With no score and the lights unable to be restored, the game was called off again.  The next date the match was set for had to be postponed, as Tottenham’s replay in the FA Cup caused the Wednesday night game in January to be put back.

The match was finally played on a Wednesday night in March 1970, three days before we played away to Everton !!

Champions Everton were second in the league at the time and Spurs sat in a lowly 13th place. Alan Whittle’s 16th minute goal gave the Toffees a 1-0 victory to keep the pressure on at the top of the table.

54,000 fans gathered in the drizzle to see Everton jump over Spurs into second place in the First Division with a 3-0 win.

Spurs forced Albert Dunlop to a good save when John White shot at goal and Peter Baker was denied when his shot was headed away from the goal-line by Jimmy Gabriel.  Frank Saul also looked like he was in on goal, only to be tackled as he prepared to shoot.
Everton took the lead before half-time through Frank Wignall, netting twice in the second half with Billy Bingham making it 2-0 nine minutes after the break before Wignall grabbed a second for himself.

The trip to the North-West saw Spurs play the return fixture of the opening day’s games and the match went ahead despite the fog on Merseyside.

Tottenham earned a 36th minute lead when John White took Cliff Jones’ pass in his stride and shot past the Toffees goalie and that lead was extended by Les Allen, who converted Dyson’s ball two minutes after the first goal.

Three minutes after the restart, Frank Wignall reduced the arrears, but then Spurs looked to have gone 3-1 ahead.  However, Bobby Smith had punched the ball into the net and when it was disallowed, his team-mates were still celebrating when the home team took the free-kick to race away to the other end of the pitch with no Tottenham player nearby.  Winger Cliff Jones’ pace took him back to produce a well-timed tackle to take the ball back to Bill Brown.  The Spurs goalie rolled the ball out to Jones, who then raced away to square the ball to Dave Mackay, who struck a shot from 35 yards out to beat the Everton keeper all ends up at the other end on 60 minutes to seal the win that put some distance (10 points) between Spurs and Everton at the top of the table.

New manager Bill Nicholson took over on the morning of the match to pit his Spurs side against bottom of the table Everton.

Stokes gave Spurs the lead on three minutes, but Jimmy Harris equalised eight minutes later.  Bobby Smith made it 2-1 on the 15 minute mark and George Robb put Spurs 3-1 just before the half hour. One minute later, Smith scored again and one more minute on Stokes grabbed his second to put the score at 5-1. Right on half-time, Terry Medwin struck the sixth Tottenham goal.

Seven minutes into the second half, Harris pulled one back at 6-2, but Smith netted again to restore the five goal gap.  On 80 minutes Tommy Harmer score to put Spurs 8-2 up, but Harris got another for Everton straight from the kick-off to complete his hat-trick.  With five minutes remaining, Smith made it 9-3, before Bobby Collins got Everton’s fourth within a minute and Ryden (who had been hobbling out on the left wing, as he was injured) scored past shell-shocked keeper Jimmy O’Neill to put Spurs into double figures and round off a memorable day for Bill Nicholson and Tottenham Hotspur.

After the match Bill Nicholson said … “It’s certainly a wonderful start for me, but in football you can be up one moment and down the next.  Still, I will be satisfied with a score like that every week !  Playing conditions were just right, and Tommy Harmer and Alfie Stokes are our best pair of inside forwards on the type of pitches we are having now.  With these two, and Danny Blanchflower in form, we must play attacking football.”.

Tottenham had raced into an early three goal lead, but a battling performance by the Toffees gave the home side some nervous moments before the end of the match.

Just before ten minutes had elapsed, debutant Eddie Clayton put Tottenham ahead and seven minutes after, Bobby Smith made it 2-0.  Smith forced Bert Dunlop into a fine save, but Clayton netted to put Spurs three goals ahead.  Shortly after half-time, Tommy Harmer and Terry Medwin linked well to provide Smith the chance to head home number four.

Halfway through the second half, Everton began their comeback with a left footed shot from Dave Hickson, while Eddie Thomas fired home from a tight angle to make it 4-2.  The deficit was reduced to one goal when claims for handball in the box rang out, but Hickson played on to slam the ball home.

In a game of much incident, Ted Ditchburn had to soldier on with an injured knee, while Clayton might have added to his tally in his first match with a shot against a post and another ruled out for a push.

The return Christmas meeting at Goodison Park saw Tottenham having to rely on a George Robb goal to earn a point in this First Division meeting.

Tommy Jones shot wide from the penalty spot to let Spurs off early on, but Tommy Eglington netted for the home side just before the break to give them the lead netting when the ball came back off the crossbar.  Tottenham had to wait until the 88th minute before Robb rescued a point with his late drive finding the net.

Spurs won this Christmas Day First Division meeting at White Hart Lane with a potent forward line, but the adverse weather kept many fans at home.

The morning kick-off obviously suited Spurs more than Everton and had a 2-0 half-time lead through an early Bobby Smith effort and an Alfie Stokes strike.  Terry Medwin scored two second half goals and Tommy Harmer scored a penalty, leaving Bobby Smith’s second to round off a 6-0 Tottenham win.

Eddie Baily’s 25th minute goal gave Tottenham a great start, but Everton’s Ted Buckle sent the home crowd into raptures with an equaliser in the second half, when he deflected Wally Fielding’s free-kick into the net after 57 minutes.

It was Les Medley who was the creator of the Baily goal, racing past two defenders to cross into the middle for Baily to flick the ball past the keeper George Burnett.  The Buckle goal set Spurs back, but Sonny Walters played a cross into Les Medley, who took the ball around goalie to score the winning goal in the 64th minute.

Everton edged this FA Cup Fifth Round tie at Goodison Park, with the only goal of the game taking them through.

While at the bottom end of the table, Everton were facing the Spurs “Push and Run” side, but caused an upset when Eddie Wainwright scored from the penalty spot to give the home team an early lead.

While Tottenham began to put some good moves together, it was the back line of the Toffees who came out on top, with Jackie Grant, Dave Falder and Peter Farrell performing staunchly in defence.

Torrential rain left the pitch sodden, so the ground-staff worked wonders to get the game playable for Second Division Spurs to face up against Everton – lingering in the lower reaches of Division 1 – in a Fifth Round FA Cup replay.

Within 20 minutes, Everton took a 2-0 lead with goals from Tommy Lawton and Dixie Dean.  Johnny Morrison grabbed a goal seven minutes later to give Spurs a way back, but a linesman helped even further just after half time.  Dean was fouled in the box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot, but on conferring with his colleague, overturned his decision to give a foul throw against Everton in the build up to the incident.  Spurs were also denied, this time when an equaliser was ruled out for a foul by Morrison on the keeper before netting.

It looked as though Spurs were out of it, as Everton broke to the other end of the pitch in the 63rd minute and Dean scored to give the Toffees a 3-1 lead.  A couple of minutes later, Joe Meek set Morrison away to beat an offside trap and close the gap to one goal again.  Dean was so confident after one incident that he would be awarded a penalty that he grabbed the ball and placed it on the penalty spot, only to be disappointed to see the referee signalling for a throw-in to Tottenham.  With five minutes remaining, Morrison returned the favour and Meek scored to make it 3-3 to send the 46,972 crowd wild.  The momentum was now in Spurs’ favour and when Morrison headed home Miller’s cross with barely enough time to restart the match, his hat-trick had completed an amazing comeback to go through to the Sixth round.
