I was there when we lost 7-0 and there each time after,until this game, what a day-afterwards on the way home, we listened to Barry McGuigan win the world title on the radio ,brilliant day... RIP Paul
I was there. great support as usual. Off the train at edge hill, on the buses for a tour back in time through the slums, off at stanley pk and into the ground. Party time! good ol crooksy!!... on the buses back to edge hill, the locals showered us with gifts in the shape of bricks while the old bill did nothing. Even had a little reception at altrincham with more bricks through the windows! haha happy days arriving at euston looking like we had been through a war zone!. A very memorable day
I was there that day, your right the bus back to edge hill was entertaining. The supporters club handed out pennants to all those who travelled that day.
'Were you at Anfield when we won for the first time in 73 years?' I was. My dad thought I was mental to shlep all the way up there to watch us lose again as usual. He was quite jealous when I saw him the next day.
Hard to believe that stat. And it's not like Tottenham were a small club until shortly before that time. They had the greatest English player of all time Jimmy Greaves in the 1960s.
Tottenham won at Anfield in 1912 the year the Titanic sank and didn't win again at Anfield until 1985 the year the Titanic was found and both Tottenham wins were on exactly the same date March 16th the only times Tottenham played those dates at Anfield in all those years
Clive Allen getting injured earlier in the season IMO cost Spurs the league. They should have won the league that season. Ive been supporting Tottenham since 1970 and that was the ONLY year they had a REAL run at winning the league. 82 the fixture pile up sis for them
+dlamiss i know its old post but you're right that was the one time I remember Spurs having a run at winning the league. ( until last season). If my memory is correct we was in the race until we played rivals Everton at WHL around March in a night match. We lost 1-0 this win against LFC was such a big thing I remember spurs were selling souvenirs at WHL
the 84-5 season with 13 games to go Spurs and Everton were level on points. 9 of Tottrnhams last 13 games were at home. They should have won the league comfortably but lost at home to Villa Everton Arsenal Ipswich and Watford
Nah Everton were unstoppable that season, we should have won the treble but lost to Utd after extra time in FA Cup final 3 days after winning the Cupwinners Cup. We won 2-1 at WHL on April 3rd
The shame...I had been to a Rugby game in Cardiff ( probably an International,my only feeble excuse).I was in the Conway pub on Cathedral Road at about 5.15 when I heard the result and I screamed in delight to the bemusement of the egg chasers around me.I was exceptionally drunk that night.
the 86-7 team was a great team as well but ;Liverpool & Everton made the title a two horse race and Tottenham finished third. Sadly October 22nd 1987 was the day Tottenham ceased to be a big club for almost 20 years. The day the club appointed the ghastly Terry (El Tel) Venables as manager
Clemence was a superb keeper for both clubs, and a real gentleman

Clemence had a blinder, Falco was so underrated brilliant striker, Hazard top player, this was a good good side COYS

I was there first Spurs match aged 13, school trip from Belfast(99% were pool fans lol). Sat in front row right behind Ray Clemence's goal. Magical.

March 16th my birthday and Hoddle my favouite player ;D
unfortunately he was just like Steve McManaman wasted by England.
calvin shaw And wasted as a manager too!
Eddie Power and they were the two games I didn't travel up to watch
titanic sank 4-15-1912 found 9-1 1985
What a great game, two legendary sides at their best. Even today's Spurs couldn't compete with this team.
driffter1976 both miles behind Everton at that time

Everton my team were a lot better than spurs ha
@@dlamiss 5-1 to Watford I think

I was 13 and was running about the street like a lunatic when the final score came in.
At the time it was an astonishing result.
VAR would have ruled that goal out these days for the Falco handball in the build up. The farce that is VAR.
Tottenham were a big club in the 80s. But Liverpool dominated the 80s in the same way United dominated the 90s and 2000s.
great upload

Tottenham ended an incredible hoodoo against Liverpool at Anfield and did the double over them for the first time in history.
Then two seasons later they won again at Anfield, and completed another double
Musa Fawundu knocked them out of the league cup as well that season, their first defeat in the competition since the 1979-80 season
That save by Clemence was unreal.
Titanic spurs was the headline the next day cos spurs hadn't won at anfield since 1912
Some one has this in 84 /85 season.
was at the match traveled there on the Liverpool Coach from North Wales, was the only one Happy on the way Home. C.O.Y.S
barry mcguigan won the world title in the summer june/july at lofus road.
I was there. Quality day. COYS
It's amazing that Spurs thought they won the League after this match .... they fell away badly after this
Salty.
@yiddo67 Don't think I do, mate
Remember the headlines next day.."GHOSTBUSTERS SPURS".
I remember the newspapers on the back "Raise the Titanic"
