Notable Dates
| 1901 | Spurs
travelled North for the FA Cup Final replay to Bolton and the home club
expected a bumper attendance after the size of the crowd for the first
game. Unfortunately, the gate was disappointing - only 20,420 -
mainly due to the cost of travelling to the game. The caterers at
the match had overdone the number of pies for the day and were left with
so many over they had to give them away. This has lead to this day
being known as Pie Day in Bolton for that very reason !! Spurs
took the game to Sheffield United, but Priest once again gave the Blades
the lead. Spurs continued to play their own game and in the second
half, John Cameron equalised. Smith gave Spurs the lead after a
goalmouth scramble and then Sandy Brown sealed the FA Cup victory for
Spurs with an 83rd minute goal. It meant that he had scored in
every round of the FA Cup - the first man to do so and with 15 goals, he
is still the highest goal-scorer in a season in the competition.
The cup was presented to Spurs captain Jack Jones with coloured ribbons
on, tied there for the first time by Spurs - a tradition continued to
the present day. So, the little non-league club from Tottenham had
won the FA Cup and even today, remain the only side from outside the league to do so.
The same day as the Final replay, W. Fortnum scored his only goal for Tottenham in his last game and Leon Hyde was scoring his last goal for the club at Gravesend. This match also marked the end of the Spurs careers of David Haddow and Bob Stormont. |
| 1905 | Although this final was
drawn, there was no replay.
John Cameron's last Spurs appearance was in this game. |
| 1907 | Herbert Chapman's last game in a Tottenham shirt. |
| 1912 | Tom Mason plays his last Spurs match. |
| 1921 | Sid Castle plays the last game of his Spurs career. |
| 1935 | Willie Evans scores a hat trick against Liverpool in a 5-1 win for Spurs. |
| 1945 | Martin Chivers, forward 1967-1976, born. |
| 1963 | Jimmy Greaves' goal equalled Ted Harper's Spurs record tally for 36 goals in a season. |
| 1974 | Phil Holder's
last game in a Tottenham shirt.
Glenn Hoddle signs for Tottenham Hotspur as an apprentice. Martin Chivers scores his 100th league goal for Spurs. |
| 1993 | Spurs hosted the Fiorucci Cup, a three way tournament between Spurs, Internazionale of Milan and Real Madrid. The games were all played on the same evening and lasted for 45 minutes each. Spurs finished bottom of the mini-league. Future Spurs defender Paolo Tramezzani played for Inter in this tournament. |
| 2004 | Stephane Dalmat's loan spell at the club was terminated after a training ground bust-up with a youth team player. |
