Ah, so we were leaking goals even then!!!

To be honest, I have a bad memory when it comes to games longer ago than a year. Except for the BIG ones of course. I will need a refresher!

No question about it
Cup Final replay against Man City. The Ricky Villa goal . I fell to my knees and wept.
Quite embarrassing really as i had just set up flat with my girlfriend [now wife] and she had yet to adapt to what it means to live with a Spurs supporter. We were both in our first year of teaching and as the game was on in the morning down here when it went into extra time it meant that we would be late for school. hence our first argument. I mangaed to impress upon her the importance of the occasion so not only were we late but she had to put up with me singing all the way down the motorway.
It was a great game,and a greater goal.

I would have to say the`91 semi final at Wembley. Not only for a brilliant performance and result, but our support. All the way there on the trains and tube it seemed to be all Tottenham, then more of the same in the ground. Also the context of the game made it special.

As much as I like [liked] Wimbledon, the 6-2 to avoid relegation at Selhurst Park. The ground was 2/3 full of Spurs fans haha and Klinsmann scored 4, beautiful.

2-0 win at Stamford Bridge mudbath in torrential rain, in about 1970-1. I arrived just before kick off and went in the first entrance I came to (things were different then). It was of course the Shed, which was packed with psychopathic Neanderthal Chelsea supporters.

I was stood under a hole in the roof, getting soaked, afraid to make a sound. Brilliant football from both sides. Jennings made an unbelievable save from an Osgood diving header, and knocked himself out on the post. A goalmouth scramble of about 5 minutes followed, with Pat out cold (things were different then), and players sliding all over the place till we cleared it. Chopper Harris's sliding tackles covered about 20 yards.

We scored twice after the 90 minutes were up (Pearce and Mullery). I was still unable to make a sound. Couldn't really start cheering until I was several stops away on the tube! It really is a shame there wasn't the level of TV coverage back then that we have today. All those goals from Chivers, Gilzean, Greaves etc.

It would have to be the Kilnsmann debut for me as well. It was also the first time I'd seen Spurs win, only problem was I had to sit in the Wednesday fans with my Grandad, who wasn't best pleased on the way home.
Also against Southampton back in 2000? when we beat them 7-2, that was the first time I'd managed to get to the Lane, the only reason I went to that one was because by the time I got round to buying tickets for the Bradford game the week before they didn't have 2 seats together and Southampton was the next match.

Hmm, tough question.

Ones that come to mind are

Spurs 5-1 Chelsea
Spurs 2-1 Chelsea
Spurs 3-1 Man U
Spurs 1-0 Lecister (Worthington cup final)
Chelsea 3-3 Spurs this season

Basically the times when you just go fecking mental.

I've never been fortunate enough to get a ticket to a really big game or a monumental one like Nov 5th this year, I always seem to have gone to see us lose on that long streak then stop and miss it.

I'd say one of the following, beating Everton 3-0 and seeing the Kanute wonder goal was special a we took some toffee's with us and enjoyed their abject misery.

My first experience of the North London Derby was unforgettable.

As was beating Bolton to secure Euro football and the ensuing party, I remember taking sombrero's and the footballs in the ground as we waited for the players to come back out to celebrate.

And of course, seeing the first few Euro games at the lane for donkies this season.

Gotta be the 3-1 against the goons in '91.
