2007
ANDERLECHT 1-1 SPURS
We were in European action on this day 10
years ago, making our first visit to Anderlecht
since the 1984 UEFA Cup Final. This was our
last game in the five-team group and we
needed a point to reach the knockout stages
of the UEFA Cup, having beaten Hapoel
Tel-Aviv and Aalborg, but lost to Getafe.
Progress looked in jeopardy when Bart
Goor poked home to give the Belgians the
lead in the 68th-minute. Just three minutes
later though, Jermaine Jenas was upended
by Jelle van Damme in the area and Dimitar
Berbatov converted the penalty to give us
the draw required.
2003
SPURS 5-2 WOLVES
Former Wolves striker Robbie Keane did the
damage against his previous club, scoring
a hat-trick on this day in 2003. He opened
the scoring for us on the half-hour mark, but
within a minute Paul Ince had levelled for
bottom-of-the-table Wolves. Fredi Kanoute
put us back in front five minutes after the
interval, Keane added his second on 76
minutes and completed his treble eight
minutes later. Alex Rae netted another
for Wolves, but Stephane Dalmat scored a
superb goal to wrap up the points.
1972
SPURS 3-1 LIVERPOOL
After a 1-1 draw at Anfield two days earlier,
we reconvened for a League Cup fifth round
replay at the Lane against Liverpool on
this day 45 years ago. And we flew out of
the traps on this occasion, racing into a 3-0
lead after just 14 minutes. Martin Chivers’
deflected free-kick beat Ray Clemence in
the fifth minute, before John Pratt’s 25-yard
piledriver doubled our advantage six minutes
later. Chivers then showed his strength to
burst through and smash home his second,
leaving us well in command. Ian Callaghan
pulled one back in the 86th-minute but it
was too little, too late and we held on, going
all the way to Wembley and beating Norwich
City in the final.
