01.04.1961 Division 1    Home    Won    5-0

Tottenham lead Preston North End 4-0 at half-time, with Cliff Jones scoring the first goal after being put through inside the area by Dave Mackay and the Welsh winger broke through two tackles before firing low past the keeper.  John White made it 2-0 and Frank Saul added the third goal when he headed in White’s pin-point cross from close range.  Saul almost set-up another goal when he played the ball inside from the right to Les Allen and his shot was going wide, with Cliff Jones just unable to get to it to slip the ball it into an empty net.  A good header brought a low save from Bill Brown in added time at the end of the first half and when an obstruction from his throw-out gave Spurs a free-kick, Blanchflower chipped the ball into the goalmouth and Jones was there to beat the keeper to it and to make it 4-0 a minute into injury time.

Cliff Jones picked up the ball on half-way, moved forward with it before he laid it off to Blanchflower, who moved it on to Allen on the right wing.  His ball into the danger area was missed by the keeper, headed up in the air by Cunningham and Jones performed an overhead kick in the six yard box to make it 5-0 and wrap up his hat-trick with 16 minutes of the second half gone.

18.08.1956 Division 1   Away    Won    4-1

An opening day fixture at Deepdale ended with a 4-1 win for Tottenham over Preston North End.

Debutant Terry Medwin had given Spurs a half-time lead, when he took a pass from Tommy Harmer that was inside the full back and the defenders’ cries for offside were in vain as the winger took the ball past Else in the Preston goal to slip the ball into the net in the 23rd minute.

Ten minutes into the second half, Mel Hopkins brought down Tom Finney in the penalty area, who got up to score from the spot, but Tottenham still were dictating play.  Johnny Brooks made Preston pay, when he placed a well-judged lob over the keeper to restore the Spurs lead, which was increased two minutes later when Medwin fired a shot past Else having been put through by Brooks.

The home centre-forward Hatsell fired a 12 yard shot at goal that Ditchburn did well to turn around the post and in the last minute, Brooks notched his second to secure a convincing victory.

02.04.1956 Division 1   Away    Drew    3-3

An early Easter Monday kick off at Deepdale saw a glut of goals as Spurs held hosts Preston North End to a 3-3 draw.

Preston went ahead early on with Tommy Thompson scoring and he was soon on the score-sheet again giving them a 2-0 lead. Tommy Harmer got Spurs back into the match with a fine goal, before George Robb’s high cross lead to the ball going into the Preston net off one of their players.

Five minutes after the second half had kicked off, Tottenham were awarded a penalty for handball and Tommy Harmer stroked it home, but Denis Hatsell scored late on to level it up at 3-3 by full-time.

04.02.1953 FA Cup Fourth Round replay     Home     Won     1-0

Home advantage in the FA Cup Fourth Round replay paid off for Tottenham as they squeaked through with a narrow 1-0 win in front in excess of 55,000 for a Wednesday 2.15 p.m. kick off.

Spurs started well, keeping George Thompson the Preston keeper busy until they made the early breakthrough in the 10th minute.  Len Duquemin finished off a move involving Eddie Baily and Sonny Walters to put Tottenham ahead.  The chances fell at both ends, with Ditchburn denying Lewis with a dash from his line, with Duquemin having a header cleared off the line in the second half.  Preston almost equalised with a quarter of an hour remaining, when England winger Tom Finney hit the upright, but the ball bounced to safety.

25.03.1922 FA Cup Semi-final     Hillsborough     Lost    1-2

Spurs lost out on a second successive Cup final appearance to Preston North End, when they felt hard done by with decisions going against them.

Leading 1-0 at half-time thanks to a Jimmy Seed goal, Preston equalised soon after the break and when Bert Bliss scored, his celebrations were cut short when the referee had blown before the ball went into the net, as a Preston player (Doolan) was injured and needed attention in his view after being knocked out by a Jimmy Seed shot.  In the aftermath, the Tottenham players lost concentration and Preston scored what turned out to be the winning goal at Hillsborough.

Hillsborough was the venue for the FA Cup semi-final between Spurs and Preston North End and Spurs triumphed to reach their second FA Cup Final.

Tottenham had looked as if they might not make the date at Stamford Bridge with Wolves, having had two perfectly good goals disallowed and two stone-wall penalties turned down by the referee, but a brace from Bert Bliss could not deny them a crack at winning the “old tin pot” once more.
