1949	Alf Ramsey made his debut for Spurs at full back in front of the biggest crowd for an away match against Brentford = 37,702
1951	Centre half Derek King makes his first appearance in a Spurs shirt.
1960	Tottenham's Double campaign got off to a slow start with Everton holding out until the last five minutes, when Les Allen and Bobby Smith grabbed late goals.
1966	Mike England makes his Spurs debut in the centre half position.
1977	Spurs first game back in the Second Division after relegation. They took a decisive grip on their season early on by beating a determined Sheffield United side.
1994	Ilie Dumitrescu makes his Spurs debut. Jurgen Klinsmann, also making his Spurs debut, scored one of the goals in the win on the opening day of the season. He showed a considerable amount of humour in celebrating his goal with a "dive" celebration followed by his team-mates to mock his reputation as a a player who went down dramatically when tackled. He later left the field on a stretcher after a sickening clash of heads with Des Walker to round off a day to remember.
2001	Spurs, leading at half-time, have to hang on to a point as Gary Doherty is sent off for a professional foul conceding the equalising penalty and Gus Poyet gets a red card for a foul tackle.
2002	Diego Bortolozzo signs for Spurs on a free transfer from Italian club Treviso.
2004	Spurs sell Gary Doherty to Norwich City.
2005	Spurs score their 400th home Premier League goal when Jermain Defoe opens the scoring. Edgar Davids makes his Premier League debut for Spurs. The points gained in this match give Tottenham Hotspur 3002 in post war league football.
2016	Christian Eriksen makes his 100th Premier League appearance for Spurs. Victor Wanyama scores his first goal in Tottenham colours.
