Timothee Atouba struck a wicked cross-shot past Shay Given in the 51st minute that the keeper had no chance of stopping, but it was slightly against the run of play, as first half saves by Paul Robinson stopped Craig Bellamy and James Milner from opening the scoring. Jermaine Jenas (then a Newcastle player) put a shot just wide and then his header hit Bellamy in front of goal, before the Gallowgate end roared for a penalty for Atouba’s push on Shearer, but the referee ignored their claims.

St. James Park is an awesome sight with it’s massive new stands towering above the Newcastle skyline. When you find you are sitting in the upper tier which is where the away fans are located you realise just how high it is. The seats are certainly not for anyone who suffers from vertigo. As well as being very high they are also a long way from the pitch. I have stood outside Premier ground and been closer to the game. Add to that a grey rainy day and 50,000 screaming Geordies and this had the potential for another miserable day in the North East. The Spurs fans arrived with some optimism after recent performances and with injuries to the home side. But a miserable day it was destined to be as Spurs never looked like scoring. Tottenham started with the same side. After six minutes Darren Anderton got free down the right and drove over a cross which arrived knee high at Steffen Iversen. Steffen got away from his marker but failed to connect properly and skewed his effort wide. Shortly afterwards Newcastle went ahead. A long ball from the back cleared the Spurs defence and found Gary Speed who had broken from midfield, unmarked, and beaten the offside trap. Speed steadied himself and lobbed over the advancing Sullivan. Nine minutes gone and already a goal down. The golden rule at Newcastle is don’t let them get an early goal. Another Anderton break down the right saw his deep cross take an early deflection off a defender. This sent the ball spiralling over Given, but unfortunately the ball hit the post and rebounded out. Shearer was up to his usual tricks throughout the game rattling Campbell and Perry. His best effort however was headed away by Campbell on the line with Sullivan beaten. Further efforts from Spurs came from Carr cutting in from the right after beating two defenders. His hard cross reached Leonhardsen at the far post but Leo’s finish was disappointing and the ball was cleared. Just before half time with Spurs still pressing Iversen was badly fouled from behind and eventually limped off with what looked like a thigh injury. He was replaced by Ferdinand who was greeted with rapturous applause by the Newcastle fans no doubt still remembering his exploits in the black and white stripes. Oh for some of those goals from Les wearing a Spurs shirt.
In the second half Spurs had plenty of possession but never really looked like punishing Newcastle. In one spell of play Carr and Anderton combined well and Given could not hold Darren’s cross. The ball eventually found Leonhardsen who hit a fierce shot against the post. The goalkeeper was floundering as the rebound reached Steffen Freund. He drove a shot along the ground past the keeper only to see a defender hack the ball off the line. For a moment it looked like we were going to witness a Steffen goal but we must all wait for that momentous event. Newcastle went two nil up after Solano had again got behind the Spurs defence. His shot was parried by Sullivan but Cordone was quickest to smash the ball home. Spurs sent on Young and Taricco for Leo and Thatcher. George switched to three at the back. Ferdinand came close to scoring meeting a Young cross with a powerful downward header. The ball however bounced over the bar. This was not to be Spurs day. We did not take our chances, Newcastle did and they took the three points. For Spurs Sherwood again looked sluggish in midfield and he and Freund could not contain the strong running of Dyer. At the back we looked wobbly on occasions as our strikers, in particular Rebrov were well marshalled by the Newcastle defence. All in all a predictable outcome confirming we still have a way to go before we come to places like St James park and plunder the points. Oh and no cards from referee Elleray !

22.12.1999 | FA Cup Third Round replay Away Lost 1-6
Starting the game with three centre-halves to counter the aerial attack of the home side seemed a good idea, but in a first half dominated by Newcastle, Tottenham were overwhelmed. With only five minutes gone a high ball to the far post saw Perry against Ferguson and a header down onto the edge of the six-yard box was stuck away by Speed. A quarter of an hour after and Dabizas rose above Vega, who didn’t get off the floor to make it two. Spurs looked dead and buried as they had shown nothing up until this point. Young’s substitution by Fox made things seem even worse, but then Ginola unleashed Tottenham’s first shot on target after 31 minutes and it deflected up and over the keeper to put Spurs back in it. The Magpies wavered and Spurs did put some balls into the box, but no clear chances came their way. A foul on Ginola was let go by the ref, who then refused him treatment, but the game swung towards the Spurs goal and a low ball across the box was fumbled by Walker straight to Ferguson, who crashed it in off the bar. Just when Spurs seemed to be getting at United, an error let them have the advantage straight back. Walker had just before made a sharp save at his near post from a Shearer header, but this was a routine ball that he should have gathered without any trouble. In truth, the height in attack was causing Spurs all sorts of problems and Newcastle carved Tottenham’s defence apart in the opening 20 minutes, but as the season slipped away, the goal came just before the break. The second half was even worse. When Spurs beat Newcastle 3-1 at the start of the season, you would never have imagined that they would end up losing in such a disgraceful style as they did tonight. Further goals from Dyer, and two from Shearer (one from a penalty) sealed a win that echoed the defeat by 7 goals to 1 in Francis’ time. Having said that this game was not important, but progress was, the question will be asked of GG, where is the progress ?? The only good thing to come out of it is that Sugar might finally see how much needs investing in the side to make them half decent. The league position is flattering as we have got away with it too often and although recent form has been poor, they have stayed static in the table. But tonight you could point out many defects : –
Basic things that really ought to come naturally, but obviously don’t. The lack of effort and lack of ideas, especially (as usual) when Ginola was substituted, leaves Spurs fans with little hope for the rest of the season, little hope of getting a European place and little hope of attracting top players. Now that the team has been on a run of no wins in six games and the cracks covered up by the Worthington Cup win have exposed, what will those in charge do to put it right ?? While Tottenham’s season ended tonight going out of the FA Cup, the tie was lost at WHL when we were 1-0 up and Newcastle were there for the taking. The lack of the killer instinct has cost the club dear. MEHSTG TOP MAN : – DAVID GINOLA (for wanting the ball) Pete Stachio. Newcastle United : – Steve Harper, Warren Barton, Nikos Dabizas, Helder (Marcelino 46), Aaron Hughes, Norberto Solano, Rob Lee |

A strange feeling swept over me when I walked into the ground and was told that Dominguez and Fox were both starting the match. How were we going to win this then? The team had to be changed because of suspensions and Leo’s injury, but even with our limited squad surely this was too much to bear. The game started with Spurs going forward and Harper tipping a great drive over the bar. Then Allan Nielsen headed a Fox cross downwards and Harper again saved at the post, while moments later, Iversen got past Charvet and could not get round the keeper. Nielsen was again denied when a great run along the right wing (about half the length of the pitch) by Young, saw his cross missed at the near post by Iversen and then grabbed before it could reach the Dane. Walker was untroubled in the first half as Tottenham had supremacy in terms of possession, but could not make the breakthrough. They had to wait until the second half for that to happen. Only after Ferguson had contrived to head down and over the bar from five yards out, did Spurs get their goal. A throw resulted from Young’s interception and break, which he took quickly to Ginola. He made half a yard for himself and crossed to the edge of the six yard box, where Iversen came flying in to head home in front of Dabizas. At this stage, Tottenham should have been looking to press home their advantage, but they seemed to withdraw and let Newcastle into the match. A tactical change by Robson saw them move to a back three and push another man into midfield with an option to go forward. It was here that Spurs should have brought on Armo for Jose, who by now was losing his effectiveness. Some last gasp defending denied Dyer and Glass, before a corner was swung over and Speed rose to head the equaliser. It was coming as the Barcodes applied more pressure and as the game wore on, they looked the more likely to win it. Gallagher and Shearer both had chances towards the final whistle. The England captain got the stick he deserved for persistent whingeing and diving, but for most of the match Sol had him in his pocket. This was a match that Spurs should really have sewn up, but a draw leaves us still in the competition, although a replay at St. James Park will be a very tough one. In the end, the changes didn’t work out too bad. Fox worked hard and Jose; well, he was just Jose. As for the rest, Nielsen got up and back and Luke Young did well at the back. Perry was sound and Sol was excellent. David flitted around, usually pursued by a couple of Magpies and Steffen should have wrapped it up in the first half. For the replay, Taricco and Sherwood will both be available and hopefully, Leo will have recovered from his injury. Let’s hope that it is an occasion the team decides to play.

Another pointless trip to the North East. Another poor performance. Another 2-1 defeat. St. James’ Park Newcastle is not the football ground it used to be. In fact it is more like a building site at present with 3 massive cranes dominating the skyline. Half the roof has been removed from one side of the ground. Behind the goal the whole roof has been removed and the area is completely exposed. Meanwhile an incredibly high new stand is being built behind the existing stand. Visiting supporters are located in an open corner of the ground with a restricted view behind a temporary floodlight pylon. There is absolutely no atmosphere whatever. The famous noisy support is gone. Outside there are protest groups campaigning against the board and their proposals for corporate entertainment in the new seats
It appears that those fans currently holding £500 season tickets for seats behind the goal will, when the stand is complete, either have to move to the top of the stand which is miles from the pitch or they can fork out an increased sum of £1300 to retain their existing seat. Newcastle fans were distributing a newsletter called ‘Divvent bite the hand that feeds ya!’ and calling for a boycott of all club shops. It appears also that the club are returning part of their ticket allocation to away games and then showing the match on their own big screen. The infamous Freddy Shepherd and his board have obviously been to the Alan Sugar school for customer service. Spurs were unchanged from the side that started at Southampton. Newcastle lined up with several players not even known to the home fans. The game got off to a disastrous start for Spurs when, after six minutes, Solano crossed from the right. From 12 yards out an unmarked Glass headed an innocuous effort towards goal. For some strange reason Walker was only able to parry the shot and then did an impression of a seal flapping furiously until eventually under pressure from Ketsbaia the ball crossed the line. Newcastle had returned from a long European trip to Roma and the last thing we wanted to concede was an early goal. Gradually Tottenham battled back with Ginola threatening. David was also coming in for some stick from the home crowd no doubt due to his remarks about Shearer at the Oxford Union. It was Ginola who made the breakthrough just before half-time. His cross from the Spurs right eluded Iversen but was met by Chris Armstrong to level the scores. Normally scoring just on half-time is considered a psychological advantage. Not for Spurs as it was Newcastle who started the second half the livelier side. A wicked Solano corner was met at knee height by a diving Dabizas header to give them the lead. It was a ball which should have been cut out. Spurs battled to equalise but through some dogged and last ditch challenges Newcastle held on, urged on by a white haired old man on their bench. Campbell came the closest with a header just over
The most amazing part of the afternoon has to be the performance of Mr. Alcock – the referee. He gave one yellow card to Newcastle to Solano for overreacting to a tackle. Spurs received 6 yellow cards and I do not recall one bad tackle. Mr. Alcock’s enthusiasm to book Spurs players was only matched by his lack of enthusiasm to book the home team. After receiving his yellow card Solano committed 3 further cautionable offences (2 trips on Dominguez and kicking the ball away), but was not spoken to again and was eventually substituted. It was the most inconsistent of refereeing performances … and I thought Mr. Alcock was no pushover! Shearer was his usual nasty self, backing in, little nudges and digs and constantly griping to the referee. The final action of the game saw Shearer flatten Taricco with no action taken. It appears there was some altercation in the tunnel afterwards which is hardly surprising in the circumstances. Scene set for a cracking cup tie maybe ?

This match started at 100 mph and seemed to get faster and faster. The home debut of Leonhardsen must have flown by, but he did contribute greatly to the proceedings. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The home season started in it’s usual fashion, by conceding the early goal after 16 minutes. Route One must be sexy where Ruud Gullitt comes from, because the keeper launched the ball forward and Alan “Elbows” Shearer managed to connect (with Chris Perry) and the ball dropped to Norberto Solano. He did well to manufacture a yard of space and let fly with a shot that went between Scales’ legs and low into the net past an unsighted Walker. This had come shortly after Walks had dropped a long cross and Shearer (again all over Perry at the far stick) swivelled and scooped the ball over the bar. It was a let off for Spurs, who had started reasonably without worrying the Geordies defence. The best chance coming when Les didn’t have the legs to latch onto a lobbed through ball from Dazza. It looked like another one of those evenings when Ferdinand again failed to capitalise on a ball into the box and clashed with Harper in goal, leaving the Spurs man needing treatment (so soon). This all changed when Steffen Iversen started his scoring season with a unimpeded headed goal from an Anderton corner on 29. It was rank bad defending and it had a seriously adverse effect on those in black and white, because they went to pieces. Where they had been knocking the ball about with assurance, they suddenly became individuals who did not link up together. This was further emphasised when Taricco and Iversen linked down the left to set up Les at the near post with a low cross, which he deftly diverted past Harper in first half injury time. To think Tottenham would have been ahead after going a goal down was hard to comprehend, but they had probably deserved it after showing more determination than the visitors. Jose replaced Les at the start of the second half and Oyvind’s passing on the break was a constant thorn in Newcastle’s side. Jose often found space, but frustrated his partners in the side by delaying the cross or putting it where they weren’t. Ginola was also guilty of this and Sherwood wasn’t slow to let him know that he should have had a pass. When Taricco went off for treatment, Leonhardsen covered at left back and then within a minute found himself bursting into the Toon box to be denied by the keeper as he tried to lob him. David had a volley from the edge of the box, which he sliced across and the shot went wide of the post. Sherwood and Iversen were denied by Harper and it was left until the 61st minute for Sherwood, again unmarked in the six yard box, to head home after a free-kick from Anderton. Shearer’s disallowed goal for offside rounded off a miserable day for the England captain. Like the FA Cup semi-final, this match had a blatant penalty for Spurs turned down, when Goma punched away a corner and the same lack-lustre Newcastle, who this time got their just desserts. I didn’t think I would see a team lacking a strike force more than Tottenham this season, but even with the England captain and their expensive new signings, Newcastle, surprisingly, were that team.

11.04.1999 | FA Cup Semi-final Old Trafford Lost 0-2 (after extra time).
Despite losing out to two goals from Alan Shearer, Tottenham felt they were robbed when referee Paul Durkin and his linesmen failed to spot Nikos Dabizas’ handball in the box in the second half, which could clearly be seen form the opposite end of the ground. So close, yet so far. One refereeing decision and a hatful of chances missed away from our second final of the season, but in the end there could really be no complaints about the result. After all the build-up, Tottenham probably did enough to win, but didn’t have a striker on the pitch to put away the opportunities that were created against a frankly ordinary Newcastle side. Whichever team gets through from the other semi should proceed to win the Cup, unless they have an off day or Newcastle suddenly produce some sort of form from somewhere. They never looked like scoring until Sol had a rush of blood and knocked the ball away with his hand in the second period of extra time. Shearer put away the penalty, firing it past Walker as he dived left and the ball went right, then near the end broke away to punish Spurs with a powerfully hit second. This came straight after Armstrong had been put through and could only hit a weak shot straight at Given. Tottenham started the brighter and could have taken the lead within a couple of minutes, with Given producing an excellent diving save to tip Anderton’s long-range thunderbolt over the top. He was by far the busier keeper in normal time, having to deal with efforts from Armstrong on a number of occasions, Ferdinand, Sherwood and Iversen. Ginola played like he wanted to win the game himself and this didn’t really help the rest of the team. Having played tight to the touchline, when he did beat his marker, there was invariably another waiting for him. His crosses rarely found their target and after receiving a heavy tackle in the second half, he limped off to be replaced by Sinton. He followed in Ginola’s footsteps, by having to be replaced when injured by an awful tackle that restricted his involvement to a half hour. This didn’t help when others were struggling and Newcastle seemed intent on rough-housing the Spurs players every time they had the ball. It was only at the end of normal time and into extra time that Les started to put himself about and forced Given to make saves. At the other end, the Magpies finally stirred themselves and Walker had to make smart saves from long shots by Hamman and Griffin. The game was starting to open up and play swung from end to end. Tottenham’s midfield kept plugging away on tired legs and it seemed that the tiredness was spreading to their minds. Sol’s involuntary handball was most uncharacteristic and he was crestfallen when the penalty went in, but even then chances fell to Spurs. Freund had a volley go wide, Nielsen’s first action was when a ball fell to him in the box from a corner, but it slipped through his legs and a cross from the left was flicked up by Given (a la Keller), but went just behind Nielsen as he raced in at the far post. I suppose it just wasn’t going to be our day. With time ticking away, just two minutes remained on the clock when Silvio Maric played a short pass in front of Shearer to allow him to shoot in off the underside of the crossbar and seal their passage to the final in what was Newcastle’s last win of the season. The second goal sealed it and it was left for the formalities of the final whistle and the Geordie celebrations. The handball by Dabizas seemed pretty obvious to all in the ground, except the ref. Having him admit he missed it is no consolation, but the game should have been won by then anyway. The only thing to come out of the game followed an incident on the pitch (which I can’t even remember now), but led to Gullitt and Graham having a bust-up from their technical areas. This prompted the Spurs contingent to launch into a five minute burst of “Georgie Graham’s Blue And White Army” that was so loud and long that the Newcastle fans stood in stunned silence. I think that only he could have turned this club around as he has and full credit to him. With one trophy and Europe already in the bag, the disappointment of losing was just a little easier to take.

Spurs fans were greeted with seats in the open corner of the ground. St James Park is undergoing further development to increase the capacity which has necessitated the removal of the roof in the west corner. So in true fashion this has become home for the away fans. Fortunately it did not rain. It was however a little spooky at times sitting in a full St James Park with no roof over your head and a deathly hush all around as Spurs silenced the home fans. Talk beforehand was that this could be a dress rehearsal for the semi-final. No chance. Spurs left Ginola & Ferdinand out of the squad and there was no sign of Shearer or Ferguson for Newcastle. The first half saw the usual Spurs domination with plenty of chances going begging. The second half came to life after Anderton put Carr clear down the right. As the full back advanced on goal Warren Barton, a half time substitute, made a desperate lunge and conceded a penalty. Up stepped Darren to just beat Given low to his right and give Spurs a deserved lead. Further chances were squandered by the Spurs forwards and as we were dreaming of an away win Ketsbaia was allowed far too much space and hammered a long range volley past a groping Walker. Roger Nilsen made his Spurs debut having come on loan from Sheffield United and looked pretty impressive, comfortably dealing with the nights events and picking up a yellow card for a vigorous challenge. Sol had his usual solid game. Andy Sinton seemed to struggle and looked off the pace. Armstrong and Iversen again worked hard but did not produce the final product. Most of the Geordies left to go home worrying about Ginola. MEHSTG TOP MAN : – DARREN ANDERTON (Penalty goal, hard work and some decent passing) Eric the Viking Teams : – |

Well, if this is sexy football, then I’m an addict. But for the visiting Toon Army, they must be into Sado-masochism if this is what they have to put with on a regular basis. Is the pleasure worth the pain ? I suppose it is, what with them having gone through this already with Keegan. However, they did give us some ecstatic moments and we have Stuart Pearce and Andy Griffin to thank for setting up Steffen for his two goals. He finished them coolly from close range after the duff defence had put them in front of him; even Given was helpless against his expertly taken strikes. The Newcastle keeper had denied Nielsen at the start, then went on to prevent Armstrong, Anderton and most notably Ginola, whose powerful half-volley he turned aside athletically. The presence of Shearer failed to upset the Tottenham back four, who marshalled him, and anyone else who was around, excellently. The midfield worked hard when going forward and when tracking back, ably supported by Ferdinand (and his replacement Iversen) and Armstrong who all closed down the Newcastle defenders when they had the ball. Edinburgh made a truly crucial challenge, just before half-time, when Shearer looked set to score from a couple of yards out and although he made a couple of slips in the match, his endeavours were contributing to a combined “team” effort. Baardsen had a quiet time of it in the first half, but had to be alert at the start of the second. He made sharp saves from Solano on three occasions. Two were fairly spectacular, but the best was the one low to his right, which he got down to gather well as the ball sped off the wet turf. Calderwood’s booking in the first half for grabbing Batty as he took the ball away from him was justified, but the referee’s inconsistency throughout the game saw similar offences go unpunished. If he had been consistent, then I think there may have only been about 15 players on the field at full-time. As it was, he contented himself with dismissing Colin for a second “bookable” offence, although this seemed rather harsh compared to some of the things he let go. Newcastle had stepped up the pace in the second period, but Tottenham coped with the onslaught without too much trouble and indeed took the game to the visitors. All round, it was a top performance, with the commitment from the previous two games showing again, but allied with a tight performance at the back. The returning Scales did enough to show that if he can remain fit, he could feature for a while to come and Armo looked sharper than he has done for a long time. Steffen made his point about not being included in the starting line-up with his all-round performance, setting up chances as well as taking them. In the awful conditions with the rain teeming down, the Tottenham showing warmed the cockles of our hearts a little as we went home to dry out. MEHSTG TOP MAN : – JUSTIN EDINBURGH (for that tackle).

Well, who would have thought it. In a head-on collision of two relegation threatened teams … stop me if you have heard this before. The performance of Alan Shearer for England against Portugal in mid-week had sent shivers down the spine of Spurs fans with this game approaching. Add to that the jinking Gillespie, the cool bald head of Ketsbaia and the battling Batty and there was more than enough there for Tottenham to worry about. But they did not need to worry after a bright start that had fans on the edge of their seats, when Ginola cut in from the left after only a couple of minutes and unleashed a rasping right footed drive that produced an excellent save from Given in the Newcastle goal to tip the ball over the bar. Klinsmann and Vega both had headers from dead balls and Ginola was the hub of all that Spurs produced. In fact, it was he who produced a run from left to right across the box ending in a sharp turn that left Barton floundering, before crossing into the six-yard box where Jurgen beat Watson to the ball and headed down past Given. His celebratory dive signalled how pleased he was to get on the score sheet after the last couple of weeks. The lead could easily have been extended before half-time, when Anderton robbed Watson on the left hand edge of the box and crossed for Ginola to hit a rocket of a volley inches wide of the Newcastle goal. After the break, things continued in much the same vein. Newcastle failed to threaten Walker and the lack of a fluent playmaker in their midfield meant that the defence were restricted to dealing with long balls and avoiding Shearer’s elbows. A series of corners kept the play in the Newcastle penalty area and Ferdinand’s free header from one of them produced another fine save from Shay Given. The Italian defender Pistone was the butt of the crowd’s abuse as he tried to pull Fox’s shorts off, dived outrageously and tried in vain to kick a few Spurs players. And it was he who conceded the corner, under pressure from Fox, that Ginola floated to the far post for Les to leap prodigiously and power a header for goal number two. The relief could be felt all around the ground, but the team seemed to sit back a little after this, allowing Newcastle to impose themselves. Twice, Ramon sliced balls over his own cross-bar from just a few yards out, when the ball was flying across the box. Ketsbaia, who had replaced substitute Gillespie after only two minutes on the pitch, had a long range shot well saved and held by Walker. He repeated the feat from a Pearce free-kick (and how often have we seen those end up in the net) near the end. The most important blocks were by Vega, who got in the way of a Shearer header and Calderwood, who thwarted Andersson’s follow-up effort. The results assisted Tottenham in moving up a couple of places, leapfrogging Newcastle and Everton, but Bolton’s shock win at Villa gives them a lifeline. I’m hoping that it can all be resolved next week as needing something on the last day of the season may be more than the old heart can stand. Full marks to Colin Calderwood, Sol, Les and Jurgen who all ran their socks off. This was as good a display as we’ve seen at home all season and if the level of performance can be maintained, Tottenham should be playing in the Premier League next season. It’s a big if though.

Ian Walker kept Tottenham in the game for long periods before Newcastle hit a last minute goal to take the three points. Both Les Ferdinand and David Ginola tested Newcastle keeper Shay Given, with Howey’s foul on Dominguez in the area waved away by the ref. That perhaps equalled out Mabbutt’s challenge on Ketsbaia in the box that brought the midfielder down without punishment. Magpies defender Warren Barton had hit the bar in the 76th minute and Walker denied Ketsbaia and Rush, but could only parry Batty’s 20 yard shot and Barton converted the loose ball for the winner. Teams : – NOTE – Only four Spurs subs were named – Espen Baardsen, Jose Dominguez, Andy Sinton and Allan Nielsen – as Gary Mabbutt was the fifth named sub, but had to replace John Scales, who sustained a calf injury in the warm-up before kick-off. It happened so late that the change was regarded as the use of a substitute so another could not be named, although PL rules were changed for future instances of such an injury. |

Spurs were torn to shreds at St. James Park by a Newcastle United side not renowned for their goal-scoring in their run-in to the game. Five goals in the preceding seven games did not indicate the avalanche of goals for the Magpies as Tottenham succumbed. Although Tottenham tested Shaka Hislop twice early on, it was the goalkeeper’s long kick that was flicked on by Les Ferdinand and finished by Alan Shearer by lifting the ball over Carr’s head, going around Calderwood and then held off them both and Clive Wilson to shoot high past Ian Walker in the 20th minute. Sheringham’s glancing header brought a sharp save from Hislop, but just a minute later, Peter Beardsley had a shot that fell to Ferdinand, who knocked the ball into the net. It was a period of pressure that saw Walker save from Ferdinand twice and Beardsley, while Rob Lee shot just over the bar. After the hour mark, the goals started flooding in, with a long passing move ending with Ferdinand heading in Bereford’s cross, before Lee scored a solo effort and was then denied by a Walker save minutes later. It was 5-0 when Lee provided Philippe Albert the opportunity to slide the ball under Walker. Batty’s cross was turned into Shearer’s path by Lee to score the sixth Newcastle goal, then Walker kept out Albert’s chip before Batty played a square ball for Lee to smash the ball home to make the score 7-0. Still the play was towards the Tottenham goal and Walker was called upon twice in the closing minutes to keep Shearer out, with Spurs concluding the scoring when the ball came off Beresford into Allan Nielsen’s path for the Dane to convert a barely consolation goal with two minutes left on the clock.

Despite going a goal behind, Newcastle United came back to surprise Spurs with a 2-1 win thanks to a Les Ferdinand brace at White Hart Lane. Spurs took the lead in the 28th minute, when Sinton sent a cross to the far post, where Rory Allen volleyed past Srnicek with a neat finish. Eight minutes later, Robbie Elliott intercepted a Nielsen pass and sent David Ginola away into the Spurs half, running on and producing a low cross into the goalmouth. Walker couldn’t do any more than parry it out, straight to Shearer, but the keeper exonerated himself with a reflex save from the England striker’s shot, although the ball fell to Ferdinand, who knocked the ball over the goal-line to equalise. Allan Nielsen had two good opportunities to put Tottenham ahead with a 20 yard effort that whistled inches wide and then when Chris Armstrong hung up a cross under the bar, the Dane was beaten to it by Darren Peacock. Sol Campbell whipped the ball off Shearer’s toe as he closed in on goal and the Newcastle defence were not as focused, when their offside trap was undone by Watson playing Armstrong and Nielsen onside with the Dane putting the striker’s pass over the top with only the keeper to beat from ten yards out. The visitors started the second half sharply, with a 58th minute chance for Shearer, who got up from being fouled on the edge of the box to graze the top of the bar with the free-kick, while six minutes later, Beardsley failed to get on the end of a Peacock downwards header close to goal. The game was settled when Lee went down the right and pulled the ball back between two Spurs defenders, for Ferdinand to thump the ball past Walker with his right foot. Spurs were not yet down, with Nielsen forcing Srnicek to a save down low to his left to keep out his shot, with Shearer and Armstrong going close at opposite ends of the pitch. There were chances for Spurs to get a point at the death, with Allan Nielsen having a shot deflected wide and then, after Srnicek had saved Fox’s shot, Ronny Rosenthal blazed his shot over the bar from ten yards out. The visitors also had late chances, with Walker tipping Beardsley’s shot onto the crossbar and Clark and Ferdinand going close to adding a third goal. Teams : – |

An entertaining evening game at St. James’ Park saw six goals shared between the two Premier League sides. When Keith Gillespie scored from Steve Watson’s cross in the seventh minute and then the lead was extended by Darren Peacock’s header from a corner three minutes later, things looked bleak for Tottenham at St. James’ Park. With three goals in four minutes halfway through the first half, Spurs turned the game in their favour. Nick Barmby took a return pass from Jurgen Klinsmann and got Spurs a goal back, before the German striker read Paul Bracewell’s header and put the ball beyond Pavel Srnicek to make it 2-2. Before Newcastle could respond, Darren Anderton struck a 30-yard drive into the net to hand Tottenham the lead. Things got worse for Newcastle when Srnicek was dismissed for fouling Barmby after the break, but his replacement – Mike Hooper – dived full length to keep out Klinsmann’s spot-kick. Play swung in Newcastle’s direction after Colin Calderwood was sent off for a second yellow card and three minutes later, Watson’s pass put Peter Beardsley in for a late leveller. Teams : – |

A hat-trick by Alfie Conn took the headlines in this big win at St. James’ Park, as Spurs ran out 5-2 winners at the home of Newcastle United. When Alfie Conn converted the first goal of the game in the 14th minute, scoring with a run past Glenn Keeley and then firing a shot low to Iam McFaul’s left as Frank Clark and Pat Howard closed in on him, the final result could not have been imagined. A perceptive back-heel by John Duncan had set Conn on his way for the opener. When Iam McFaul was beaten by Cyril Knowles’ driven cross, fumbling the ball into the net, the signs were there and John Duncan hit a shot on the turn that the hapless keeper allowed to come off his chest for Alfie to snaffle the rebound into the net and Conn got a fourth before half-time, turning in Terry Naylor’s cross to complete his hat-trick. Considering Tottenham’s poor form this season, to be 4-0 up away from home was a good result at 90 minutes, let alone at half-time. United hadn’t been that bad in the first half, attacking the Spurs goal, but we had been clinical. At the start of the second half, the home fans in the stadium, which was being rebuilt, got behind their side and Jimmy Smith’s header from Tommy Craig’s corner allowed Micky Burns to reduce the deficit with 53 minutes gone. When Jimmy Neighbour’s back header into the goalmouth caused confusion in the 62nd minute, Alfie Conn seized on a weak Alan Kennedy clearance and rifled it back past McFaul and scored the goal that gave him his fourth of the match. Eleven minutes from time, Newcastle got another goal back, with David Craig hit a 25 yard stunner to pull another goal back, but Newcastle couldn’t find a way through the Tottenham defence again, leaving them 5-2 losers on the day.

Spurs enjoyed a 3-0 First Division home win over Newcastle with Cyril Knowles grabbing a brace and Martin Chivers scoring the other goal. Martin Chivers had already put Spurs ahead, when Philip Beal’s shot was deflected into the air and Cyril Knowles darted onto it to head in to make the score 2-0 at the Paxton Road end. Then Knowles made it three with a free-kick expertly curled around the wall from just outside the box shortly after to give Spurs a three goal lead within seven minutes. Phil Beal’s long fifth minute corner was nodded back into box by Mike England and Martin Peters turned on it to hook a shot at goal that 21 year old debutant Bell pushed over his the top right of his goal. Coates’ dangerous cross in front of goal was turned away by Dennis Laughton for a corner, which Cyril Knowles took, but Newcastle broke away to end up with a shot from Micky Burns that went wide. There was a dangerous ball to the near post at the Tottenham end that looked to be set to create a good chance for the visitors, but good covering by Beal intercepted it and averted the danger. Laughton almost beat his own keeper when he headed Knowles’ long ball into the box, being relieved to see it go a couple of feet over Bell’s crossbar. From a short corner, Knowles swung in a cross from the left and Bell took it high by the bar, but when he fell to ground, the impact knocked the ball out of his hands and the ball dropped over the goal-line to give Tottenham the lead in the 33rd minute. Following some good pressure, Knowles won the ball from Malcolm Macdonald and played it to Ralph Coates. His cross was cleared, but only to Beal, whose shot hit Gibb, ballooning up into the penalty area and Martin Chivers rose to loop a header over Bell making it 2-0 with 35 minutes gone. Almost straight away Newcastle had a chance, with Burns’ left wing cross low into the goalmouth reaching Laughton, but he could only hit a Spurs defender with his shot with the ball diverted away for another corner. However, when Howard fouled Duncan in an aerial tussle, a free kick was awarded, just left of centre about 25 yards out. Knowles stepped up to take it left footed and bent it around the wall, hitting the bottom right hand corner to beat the youngster at the foot of the post five minutes before half-time. Spurs escaped a penalty shout before half-time, when the ball clearly hit Mike England’s arm from Macdonald’s header, but the officials failed to see it. Newcastle were equally unhappy when Cannell seized on a loose ball from Perryman’s tackle and fired it past Jennings from 18 yards, only for Bruce to be flagged offside by the linesman. Jennings then had to be quick out to meet Macdonald rampaging through, half-stopping his toe-poked effort and then grabbing the loose ball. Bell redeemed himself a little when he dived up to push John Duncan’s far post header to Knowles’ long left wing cross over the top with a very good save. Jennings was called into action and made a fine reaction save to stop Burns’ shot from the six-yard line from beating him, then in the final minute, Macdonald hooked a cleared corner back towards goal and the ball went just wide. However, Jennings slipped as he covered the effort and struck the post with his shin causing an injury worry. During the match, the Spurs crowd had been giving Martin Chivers stick, but it was revealed after the match that he had been suffering a high temperature, but he had insisted on taking to the pitch.

Spurs won by the odd goal in three at home to Newcastle United, with Jimmy Greaves grabbing two goals for Tottenham. Jimmy Greaves two goals included a truly memorable one where he seized onto a Mullery clearance from a Newcastle corner and ran from the edge of his own area goal-wards with a posse of Toon players chasing him. Iam McFaul, in the away goal, came out to close him down, but Greaves took the ball around him and stroked it into an empty net. That was Greaves’ second goal, but Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson scored a consolation near the end to narrow the winning margin.
