Premier League Home Lost 2-3
What a load of rubbish. The referee, I mean. How many times do they have to spoil a perfectly good afternoon out, with their whistle blowing and nonsensical decisions ?? In my opinion, Mr. Barber was gave of the worst displays of officialdom on a football pitch – ever. His award of an early penalty against Luke Young would be understandable in light of the position he viewed the incident from, but the fact that Steffen Freund pointed out the marks on the pitch indicated it was outside the box and that he would not consult his assistant , only led us to fear what would follow. It looked as though Heskey made the most of it and frankly, Izzet did as he slammed the ball home. Straight from the kick-off a defender tried to chest the ball back to Flowers, who found himself diving to stop Leonhardsen from scoring, but the ball bounced to Iversen, who steadied himself and then whacked it home to put Spurs level within a minute. Shortly after a Ginola cross was met firmly by an Armstrong diving header, which was parried by the keeper for Iversen to stretch and prod home from short range. This had followed an inspired first half (as so often this season) by Tottenham. Sherwood had a curler saved early on; Leo had a drive deflected just wide of the goal by a defender ; Freund put in a rocket of a shot, which forced Flowers to tip over; Ginola put in a tempting low centre, which Armo failed to reach; Perry won a header from a corner, but directed it just wide. It was mostly one way, with Walker having a relatively quiet time of it.
After the break, the ref continued to give Leicester the majority of the decisions. It would not have been so bad if he had been giving the same decision each way, but it seemed that similar challenges were all given in the Foxes favour. The game should have been wrapped up by Spurs in the first few minutes of the second half though. Freund had another shot deflected away, then Iversen burst through and only a fingertip save diverted the ball around the post. This was the turning point of the match. A long cross from the left was almost straight away headed in at the far post by Izzet. The galling fact about this goal was Spurs were on the attack, when Mr. Barber decided to obstruct Sherwood from getting the ball, which then went to Leicester and subsequently into our goal. Ginola went off and with him all hope of another goal. The winner was scored from a free-kick given for another innocuous tackle by a Spurs player and the ball rebounded kindly for Taggart to fire low past Walker at his post.
The annoying thing about this game is that we were beaten by an inferior team and these (Bradford, Wimbledon, Leicester) are games Tottenham should win. There is no divine right, but the side should have won the game before they came back into it. The midfield did not look capable of holding out and when Ginola went off the creativity dried up, so where to now. The echoes of “Sugar get your cheque book out” rang around the quiet Tottenham areas of the ground, but how much is there to spend anyway and where do you start. Another defender, a playmaker in midfield and a forward or two. That will be £20 million plus, thank you. I fear the cheque book may not run to that.

League Cup Final Wembley Won 1-0
Well, what a day. The match was as dreary as ditch-water, which the wet weather would have caused to overspill and hidden the tears of the muddy Foxes. All in all, the result was the right one – Leicester got what they deserved. Exactly nothing. They came with a game plan to stifle Ginola and snuff out Tottenham’s midfield, which worked, but they showed no imagination or adventure of their own and by settling to take Spurs into extra-time, shot themselves in the foot.
The ground has changed a lot since 1991 and before they tear it down we had an opportunity to savour the old grace and poor plumbing of the National stadium. Even the Wembley Park tube station was no easier to get into after the match. However, the game itself was poor fare. From the start, Ullathorne was detailed for man-marking duties on Ginola and everywhere that David went the sheep was sure to go. Not only that, but every chance that came the Midlands side’s way, they would try and fly into tackles to attempt to put him out of the game. The Nationwide League referee had obviously believed all he had read in the papers the week leading up to the final and failed to caution anyone for a foul on Ginola. Izzet’s late studs-up challenge was well worthy of a yellow. As far as goalmouth action was concerned, Ramon Vega saved Spurs from going behind, when Sol failed to cut out a through ball to Heskey and the back injury seemed to cause him to hesitate before shooting, leaving just enough time for our Swiss centre-half to block his effort. Apart from that it was another peaceful 45 for Walker and Keller was hardly tested, having to wait until the 39th minute until Tottenham got their first effort on target – Anderton’s free-kick finding Iversen’s head making the Yank go low to collect the ball. Elliot was booked for a late tackle on Vega just before the break and everyone settled down for a better second period.
In truth, although Leicester stepped up the pace, there was little more excitement. Their best chance came when Ullathorne cut inside to unleash a low shot which skidded off the wet turf and slipped out of Walker’s grasp. As Cottee raced in, Ian recovered well and blocked his follow-up, collecting it at the second attempt. Les had an opportunity at the other end, but it lobbed gently to Keller and Freund hit a shot wide when a cross fell to him on the edge of the box. It was following a 30 second burst of fierce tackling that the ball broke to Edinburgh near the centre circle. As he played the ball, Savage lived up to his name and hit Justin late and with his arm into the Spurs defender’s chest. Edinburgh got up and swiped at the Welshman. He caught the back of his neck and quite a lot of hair. Savage turned to berate Edinburgh, then suddenly started holding his face around the jaw and bent over as if in agony. The ref produced a yellow for Savage and a red card for Justin. In all respects, if you raise your hands to an opponent, you will get sent off, but this in no way excuses Savage’s behaviour and the referee let him get away with his play-acting. The same Leicester player found it necessary to abuse Ginola after he had fouled him on the touchline. The same Leicester player found it necessary to take a dive because he did not have the pace to reach a ball going into the Tottenham penalty area. Not only that, but when the same Leicester player went in studs up on Freund and caught his foot, then had some verbals with him because he didn’t like it – all bookable offences, which the referee saw fit to let go. No wonder the Spurs fans barracked him and the Tottenham players let him know they were there in no uncertain terms.
The sending off left Tottenham one man light at the back. But GG didn’t bring on a defender to replace Justin, he just moved Anderton to cover that area when required and moved Iversen out to the right wing. It was Iversen who almost broke the deadlock, with a right foot volley from a half cleared ball which nestled in the net, but only the side netting. Frankly, Leicester didn’t have a clue what to do and lumped long balls up to Heskey and his replacement Marshall. One was headed across the goal with nobody there to take advantage, another was running through to Walker until he slipped and Cottee raced after it to fire it across the goal, again which was empty of Leicester players. Tottenham were doing all the meaningful attacking and Leicester were happy to settle for the extra 30 minutes against ten men, but when Martin O’Neill subbed Savage to save him from getting the red card he deserved, Tottenham capitalised. Les released Iversen down the right and he outpaced the Leicester captain, Walsh. His cross-shot was firm and should have been held by Keller, but he could only manage to palm it upwards onto the head of the on-running Allan Nielsen. His diving header went past the two Leicester defenders on the line and it was celebration time. The photos in the papers have frozen that moment in time and it could have been a computer-altered picture of the Houchen goal in the 1987 FA Cup final. All the frustrations and injustices of the last half hour were released as the injury time goal meant that there was hardly any time for the Foxes to dig themselves out of the hole they had dug. The ball was quite well manoeuvred by Tottenham in the remaining minute or so and it stayed up the Leicester end. Then came the final whistle and mass jubilation. Eight years of misery was wiped away and full credit to George Graham, the man who has turned the club around in double (I hope so) quick time. The crowd even sang his name at the end, contrary to nearly every newspaper report I have read. It was a moment that we and the team will never forget; a victory against the odds and one which means Tottenham will be back in Europe next season. While the Foxes slid off to the dressing room and the Spurs fans asked “Savage, what’s the score ?”, the Tottenham team frolicked and sang until they were virtually dragged from the pitch. The clock was rolling around to about 5.30 as we left to wander down Wembley Way as winners. It was a nice feeling and one that we would all like to experience again. It may be May; it could be another eight years, so enjoy it while we can.

Premier League Away Lost 1-2
George Graham’s first game in charge since moving from Leeds was against the team whose manager Martin O’Neill is the favourite to replace him at Elland Road. ‘Don’t go Martin’ banners were in abundance and thousands of free blue & white balloons were released before the game. Spurs could have done without this huge show of passion and support from the Leicester fans in front of the Sky cameras. How strange to see a protest asking the Manager NOT to go!
Spurs started brightly and eased into an early lead when the hardworking Ferdinand tucked the ball away from an excellent cross by Anderton. A good move and a fine goal. 1-Nil to the Tottenham. Time to dig in and hold the lead. Unfortunately Leicester gradually grew into the game although Heskey the main threat was being well looked after by Campbell. Sensing he was going to get little change from Sol, Heskey turned his attention to Vega and decided to explore that area of Tottenham’s defence. Needless to say it was more rewarding as he rolled off Vega on the edge of the box and left him trailing and then crashed the ball past Espen. Poor Ramon he tries hard but he simply can not turn.
Half Time 1-1
The half time ‘entertainment’ saw Alan Birchenall armed with microphone introduce the Leicester County Cricket Champions to the crowd. He then supervised a lucky draw winner who had the opportunity to win £10,000. All he had to do was knock 2 out of 3 footballs onto the bar from the edge of the area. The first shot was fluffed. ‘That was crap’ cried Birchenall. The second hit the bar. Pressure mounted as the third shot was again fluffed. Consolation prize – a pair of Heskey’s boots. Not the ones he was wearing unfortunately. Get off Birchenall lets get on with the game.
The second half was not inspiring. Spurs enjoyed plenty of possession but could not finish. Ginola looked out of sorts as he wandered in search of space eventually being replaced by Armstrong. It was Armstrong who had the best opportunity after a defensive slip let him in one on one with the keeper. He had too much time and his shot was easily saved. A half hearted penalty appeal by Spurs was turned away and just when a draw seemed likely Izzet hit an unstoppable volley which will undoubtedly feature in Goals of the Season. Late efforts by Spurs including an excellent free kick by Anderton were to no avail and George’s first game ended in defeat.
There were however promising signs with plenty of commitment. Amongst the Spurs fans there was plenty of speculation about how George would be sorting out certain players and getting rid of others. Whilst he has the backbone of a side there is still a big job to be done and there will be casualties on the way. They deserve it after all these years of mediocrity – give ’em hell George.

Premier League Home Drew 1-1
A match against Leicester, who are a tough team to play at the best of times, were next up. Without virtually all the experienced strikers at the club unavailable, it was left to the returning Chris Armstrong to lead the line. Spurs started brightly but were indebted to Baardsen for his acrobatic save from Heskey’s volley. However, it was Ginola’s feeble attempt to get a free kick after nut-megging an opponent that gave possession to Savage. He fed the ball on to Zagorakis who’s twenty yard shot bounced in front of Baardsen and then off his chest to provide Cottee with a tap-in.
Tottenham’s play was quite good in keeping possession and even getting the ball into good wide positions, but the final ball let us down. Arphexad grew in confidence as he picked off a succession of poor crosses and his save from Vega’s header was top class. However, he too spilled Fox’s drive and the ball landed at Calderwood’s feet, which directed it into the net. Spurs then began to control the game, but did their best to give it away when Carr’s pass across his own box was seized on by Heskey. Luckily, Baardsen redeemed his earlier error by diving at the flying Foxes’ feet. Loud appeals for a penalty when Sol challenged Cottee went unheeded to the ire of the away side, but the claim was as questionable as when Fox was toppled in the Leicester penalty area minutes earlier. What was clearer was the two hands of Matt Elliott in Vega’s back in the opening minutes; possibly the most obvious penalty of the day.
All in all, a good point, with Edinburgh and Armstrong performing very well. The most encouraging aspect was perhaps that they actually looked like a team and can go on from this match with some heart.

Spurs crashed to a 3-0 Premier League defeat with the City goals coming through Steve Walsh, Steve Guppy and Emile Heskey.
Les Ferdinand made home fans hold their breath with an early header, but Ian Walker was called on to tip a Heskey shot onto the post and an Ian Marshall header onto the bar.
Walsh opened the scoring in the 55th minute with a header from Garry Parker’s free-kick, then Guppy’s shot beat Walker after a corner fell to him in the 68th minute before Heskey hit the third Leicester goal after 77 minutes.

A Premier League draw at Filbert Street saw Teddy Sheringham’s last minute equaliser cancel out Steve Claridge’s 74th minute goal.
Sheringham was unlucky to see his 21st minute shot come back off the goalpost, while Emile Heskey forced Ian Walker to a good stop. David Howells had to be replaced after injuring his back, but only an alert double save by Kevin Poole prevented Spurs taking the lead, denying Jason Dozzell and then Steffen Iversen, as he followed in. Sheringham also headed an Iversen cross just wide.
Claridge had been a threat, going close with a shot from distance, then scoring but seeing it chalked off for an offside, but his persistence paid off when he finally scored. It was at the death that Sheringham nodded home substitute Ronny Rosenthal’s cross to salvage a well-deserved point.

A fine all round performance left Leicester reeling at White Hart Lane. It was a cold Wednesday night, but Spurs warmed their fans with Chris Waddle and Clive Allen linking well to set up Nico Claesen to slide the ball home in the 35th minute.
Paul Allen was felled in the box and cousin Clive converted the spot-kick in the 52nd minute, while Paul got the third goal after taking Steve Hodge’s through ball to score shortly after in the 56th minute. The scorer was involved in the build up for the fourth goal, just a minute later, when he found Claesen, who put Clive Allen in for his 37th goal of the season. The Belgian wrapped up the 5-0 win with a fine shot on 65 minutes.

Spurs won this FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park under sad circumstances, as the Falklands War had broken out the previous day. This placed Ossie Ardiles in a difficult position, with his loyalties divided and although he played, he received a lot of abuse from the Leicester fans. Although this was to be his last game for Tottenham that season, he helped Spurs through to the final, even though he would not be there himself.
The match was close until the 56th minute, when Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle worked a short corner with Ossie crossing to find Garth Crooks six yards to volley home powerfully. Leicester lost Tommy Williams, carried off with a broken shin and having used their substitute were down to ten, with Spurs taking advantage by pressurising Ian Wilson to lob a 76th minute back pass over his keeper’s head to make it 2-0.

Leicester City welcomed Spurs to Filbert Street, but it was Tottenham who were the happier team at full-time.
A 3-2 win was the boost the team needed after a poor run of results. A seventh minute goal gave Tottenham a good start, with Ralph Coates smuggling the ball into the net from close range, but former Spurs winger Keith Weller levelled the score just six minutes later and then, in the second half, put Leicester ahead.
At that stage a point looked a satisfactory outcome, so Martin Chivers’ 70th minute drive past Mark Wallington from 12 yards out looked to have achieved that.
However, when Spurs pressed forward straight away from the kick-off, Chivers set up skipper Steve Perryman to fire in a fine first time effort from outside the box to give Spurs a 3-2 lead, which they hung onto until the end. In fact, only a flying save from Wallington prevented a bigger winning margin, as Coates went close to making it four at the death.

Spurs crashed to Leicester City at White Hart Lane as the Foxes ran out 3-0 winners.
A right wing Bob Lee cross was touched on by Frank Worthington and defender Mike Stringfellow applied the finishing touch to give City a very early lead. The score stayed like that until thirty minutes from the end, when Worthington converted Lee’s cross for 2-0, which became three ten minutes later after Lee and Keith Weller had carved an opening for Jon Sammels to score.

Spurs had a happy trip to Filbert Street, winning 2-1 away at Leicester City in the First Division.
Steve Earle had put the Foxes ahead in only the fifth minute to shock Tottenham, but Martin Peters jumped high to head past Mark Wallington’s attempted punch to John Pratt’s corner putting Tottenham level within eight minutes. Martin Chivers was then thwarted by Wallington, as the keeper raced out to dive at his feet.
Two minutes into the second half, Ralph Coates flashed home a shot off the left hand upright from Pratt’s left wing cross after a good run and this goal turned out to be the decider in the match.
Spurs had the upper hand in the second half and Chivers, John Duncan and Steve Perryman all had good chances to add to the lead, but there a couple of nervy moments as Leicester pushed forward looking for an equaliser, but they could not find a way to breach the Tottenham defence.

Martin Peters and Ralph Coates linked up to create the chance for Chivers to power the ball home past Peter Shilton from just inside the penalty area in the second half. Steve Earle hit the bar for the Foxes before the break and the game might have gone either way after the interval, but Tottenham hung on for both points.

Tottenham and Leicester City fought out a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane in a First Division match. Alan Gilzean’s header gave Spurs an early lead, but former Tottenham winger Keith Weller struck late on to earn the Foxes a point.
Gilzean got to the ball ahead of his marker at the near post to glance home a free-kick from Ray Evans in the sixth minute, but with just over 90 seconds left, Weller equalised for Leicester to rob Spurs of the win. Martin Peters had earlier gone close to scoring with a diving header that was well saved by Peter Shilton.

Tottenham deserved their 1-0 goal at Filbert Street and could have beaten Leicester City more convincingly.
Spurs dominated the first half and hit the woodwork twice through Alan Gilzean hitting bar and post, while Martin Peters went close to breaking the deadlock.
Jimmy Pearce and Martin Chivers also had good chances to score, before Leicester battled back and force Pat Jennings into action a couple of times. The only goal of the game was scored in the 56th minute by Chivers who finished with a fierce shot after he was set up by Gilzean and John Pratt.

Seven goals were shared by Leicester City and Spurs in this match at the Lane with Tottenham winning out by the odd goal.
The Spurs team was weakened by England call-ups as they were playing West Germany at Wembley in the European Championship qualifier on the same day, so Leicester City were lucky not to go home with more than a 4-3 defeat. With just a minute gone, Mike England put Tottenham into the lead with a header from a free-kick and then it was made 2-0 by Jimmy Pearce’s close range goal, but Leicester hit back to level by the break. Len Glover got the first Foxes goal and Jon Sammels hit the equaliser from the penalty spot.
Cyril Knowles scored a spectacular goal to restore the Tottenham lead and then scored from a penalty kick, after his first attempt had to be re-taken, to make it 4-2, but Leicester had not given up and Malcolm Partridge scored towards the end of the 90 minutes to make it a nervy ending for Spurs.

Les Bennett was the supplier for Sonny Walters to fire an unstoppable shot to put Spurs in front, and Len Duquemin added a second to round off a satisfactory first-half for Spurs.

FA Cup Fifth Round Home Won 5-2
Second Division Spurs had to wait until halfway through the second half to pull away from the Foxes in this Fifth Round FA Cup tie.
Eddie Baily’s through pass was finished neatly by Duquemin, but Harrison’s wind-assisted 35-yarder flew in over Ted Ditchburn’s head to make it 1-1. A second Duquemin strike put Tottenham ahead again, just before the half-time break.
Lee brought the scores level again minutes after the restart, but once more Len Duquemin netted , this time with his head, getting on the end of Stevens’ corner to restore Tottenham’s advantage. Two more quick goals by Freddie Cox, the first a penalty kick, gave Spurs the breathing room to ensure their place in the quarter-finals.

A 1-1 draw with Leicester City at White Hart Lane, with George Hunt scoring for Tottenham came with a much changed team from the previous day’s match at Charlton Athletic.
An injury to Arthur Rowe at centre-half forced Spurs into playing centre-forward Doug Howe in his place. In the time of the match, players were not as versatile as now and specialised in one position. However, Howe did a good job marking Leicester centre-forward Fred Sharman.
The following week, Rowe returned and Howe dropped to the reserves in his usual attacking role. The visitors to the Lane were Leicester City Reserves and after being marked out of the previous first team game, Fred Sharman had been dropped to the second XI and was asked to play centre-half, with the roles reversed from the Saturday before !!
