Teams : |
| 06.12.1997 | A complete turnaround in a
match that saw smashed by Chelsea. It was 1-1 at half-time, thanks
mainly to De Goey's resilience in keeping David Ginola's shots out and
Wise clearing Ferdinand's header off the line and Walker denying Lebeouf
and Petrescu.
Until then it had seemed like a normal enough match, but then Tore Andre Flo got a hat-trick, Zola ran riot and Spurs collapsed under the barrage of efforts on their goal. Nicholls, Di Matteo and Petrescu scored the others. Ramon Vega's header from Sinton's free-kick drew Spurs level four minutes after the first Flo goal, but in the end we were pleased to get away with six in what must rate as one of the most abject capitulations in Tottenham's history of home games. Teams : - |
| 01.02.1997 | Sol Campbell's deflection
on Gianfranco Zola's 50th second chipped free-kick beat Ian Walker and
left Spurs always chasing the game as the two teams met in the Premier
League.
A long range shot by Roberto Di Matteo added to the lead in the 52nd minute and both keepers were in action with Walker denying Hughes with a great save, while Kevin Hitchcock prevented Andy Sinton getting Tottenham back into the match. Iversen twice went close, but it was left to David Howells who nodded home Anderton's 82nd minute cross to narrow the deficit. The Spurs midfielder almost salvaged a draw, but his effort rolled along the goal-line until hacked out by a Chelsea boot. Teams : |
| 26.10.1996 | The match took place in a
sad atmosphere, coming just four days after the death of Chelsea
chairman Matthew Harding.
Both Gianluca Vialli and Mark Hughes were wide of the mark with their early efforts, but then in the 27th minute, Ruud Gullitt converted a Hughes header that rebounded off the post. Spurs hit back just five minutes before the interval, when Chris Armstrong got his head to an Allan Nielsen long-throw to bring the scores level. In the 52nd minute, a penalty was awarded to Chelsea when Campbell was adjudged to have brought down Dan Petrescu and David Lee scored from the spot. The Pensioners added to their lead with Di Matteo getting on the end of Vialli's cross for the third Chelsea goal. Teams : |

Teams : |
| 23.11.1994 | A Premiership meeting with
former player Glenn Hoddle, who was now Chelsea player-manager added
some spice to an otherwise defensive match. Sheringham went close
with an effort that hit the upright, while Kharine kept him at bay with
a few saves from his shots. Walker at the other end had to dive
smartly to keep out a close range header from Eddie Newton, but neither
side was able to breach a defence to break the deadlock.
Teams : |
| 27.02.1994 | A debatable injury time
penalty gave Chelsea a 4-3 win that should have been out of their reach.
Spurs went ahead with two goals in a minute from Steve Sedgley (exhibiting a shirt over the head celebration for the first time) in the 17th minute and Jason Dozzell quickly added another. The home team hit back with three goals from Mal Donaghy (29), Mark Stein (32) and John Spencer (44). Kharine in the Chelsea goal performed well to make great saves from Anderton, Scott, Gray and Campbell. Eventually, Andy Gray pulled the score back to 3-3 from the penalty spot on 71 minutes, but then he had another spot-kick (given when Kharine brought down Rosenthal) saved ten minutes later, only for Stein to secure a home win with his own penalty with seconds left. Spurs disputed the award, as Dean Austin had not seemed to make contact with Gavin Peacock. Teams : |
| 01.09.1993 | Teddy Sheringham's 85th
minute penalty got Spurs a point at White Hart Lane as Chelsea took the
lead through a 23rd minute Tony Cascarino goal.
Dennis Wise had already gone close with a shot for Glenn Hoddle's team before another effort was guided into the net by Cascarino to give Chelsea a goal advantage. The Irish international had a couple of further chances before half time, but failed to convert the openings. In the second period, Spurs came out with more purpose and former Chelsea man Gordon Durie headed a cross narrowly wide. Dozzell tested Kharine in the Blues goal with a header and Anderton also brought the Russian keeper into action, while Jacob Kjeldberg had to clear a Sheringham header off the goal-line. However, the crucial moment in the half came from Sheringham's move into the box, where Steve Clarke pushed him for the ref to award a penalty to Spurs, which Teddy slotted past Kharine. Only a fine double save from Sheringham and Durie by the Chelsea goalie deprived Spurs of all three points. Teams : |

Teams : |
| 05.12.1992 | Three goals in the last
fifteen minutes livened up this dull encounter and saw Chelsea return
West with the points.
Eddie Newton broke through for the Pensioners in the 77th minute and then added a second eleven minutes later, while Spurs got a late consolation through debutant Sol Campbell, who had come on as a forward substitute for Nick Barmby and drove home from the edge of the area to beat the Chelsea keeper.

| 01.12.1990 | Chelsea won this First
Division match 3-2, but Spurs were hit with a fine to add insult to
injury.
Having stopped for lunch at a hotel on route, the club coach was wheel-clamped and therefore, the team sheet was handed in to the referee late and the FA fined the club for the misdemeanour. The home side won by the odd goal in five, with Kerry Dixon, John Bumstead and Gordon Durie scoring for the Blues and Spurs replied with goals from Lineker and Gascoigne. Teams : |
| 10.02.1990 | David Howells scored with a
diving header from about a yard to put Spurs 1-0 up, but Chelsea
equalised through John Bumstead. Gary Lineker got the winner in
the last few minutes of the game.

Tottenham produce some marvellous play on a bumpy Stamford Bridge
pitch to move towards Wembley with a 3-2 win. Terrific second half
goals by
Archibald, Hoddle and Hazard (in ten second half minutes) eased their
way through after Chelsea had taken a lead through Mike Fillery's fierce
free-kick just before half-time and then
Alan Mayes nicked one
towards the end, but Hoddle was imperious that day, displaying his range
of passing and creating two and scoring the other to send the Spurs fans
home happy (after dodging a hail of bottles and stones back to the tube
station).

| 19.04.1975 | With both
teams in the bottom three, the match was significant in terms of points,
but also for the events surrounding the match. Fights on the
terraces spill over onto the pitch and the game's start is delayed by
ref Jack Taylor, while Police struggle to clear the hooligans from the
playing surface. A young Chelsea side, featuring Ray "Butch" Wilkins, tried to hold out, but despite the goalkeeping heroics of John Phillips, goals from Steve Perryman and Alfie Conn secured three valuable points to move Spurs out of the bottom three and virtually condemned the Blues to Division Two.

| 15.04.1974 | Jimmy Neighbour came closest for
Spurs in breaking the deadlock when he turned a cross against the upright,
but the game went on to finish goal-less.
Teams : |
| 03.04.1974 | White Hart Lane was the
venue for this meeting between the two sides that saw Chelsea leave with
the spoils.
Spurs, captained by Alan Gilzean, took a 34th minute lead when Ray Evans hooked home Ralph Coates' cross. Five minutes after the interval, Micky Droy headed in a Charlie Cooke corner and Chelsea won the game with a rare Ron "Chopper" Harris goal in the 66th minute, drilling home a shot through a packed penalty area. Towards the end, Neil McNab made his debut as a substitute and in the ten minutes he was on the pitch he got kicked on the ankle and only touched the ball twice !! Teams : |
| 03.04.1973 | A single goal won this
evening game at Stamford Bridge and it was John Pratt, who got on the
end of a Ray Evans cross in the 34th minute with a fierce drive, that
took both points back to White Hart Lane. Teams : |
| 21.10.1972 | An unfortunate deflection by Phil
Beal took the ball into his own net as he tried to stop John Hollins' shot
half-way through the first half of this game at White Hart Lane. It
was the deciding goal of the game and gave Chelsea both points.
Teams : |
| 15.04.1972 | Spurs scored a convincing 3-0 home
win with Martin Chivers setting Tottenham on their way with an early goal.
This was soon followed by Ralph Coates' first league goal for the club,
despite a vain attempt to stop the ball by Bonetti. The goal-scoring
was completed within 20 minutes, when Chivers took a Coates pass and
struck the Spurs third.
Teams : |
| 05.01.1972 |
League Cup heartbreak came in the last minute of this semi-final second leg, as Chelsea scored to go through to Wembley. Spurs had taken the lead 2-1 with goals from Martin Chivers and a Martin Peters penalty. Chelsea's goal came from Chris Garland, but with seconds ticking away, a corner on Tottenham's right was played in by Alan Hudson. The match was played under trying conditions, with the rain lashing down and as the ball came in to the near post, it skidded and managed to squeeze in past Cyril Knowles at the upright to give Chelsea a 5-4 aggregate win. Teams : |
| 22.12.1971 | Chelsea took a slim 3-2 lead from
this League Cup Final semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Chris Garland, John Hollins and Peter Osgood edged Tottenham out, who had seen Terry Naylor and Martin Chivers hit goals. Teams : |

front of a 61,277 crowd at the Bridge. Alan Mullery's pile-driver
and a poacher's goal from Pearce - both in the last two minutes won it
for Spurs, who hit the bar through Chivers in the dying seconds, on a
sodden pitch.

A lock-out 70,000 crowd saw Chelsea progress to Round 4 of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Spurs. The returning Bobby Tambling opened the Chelsea scoring with a 17th minute shot on the turn to finish off Murray's low centre. A penalty was awarded against Phil Beal for a trip on Tambling two minutes later, but Hollowbread dived to keep out Terry Venables' spot-kick. However, in the 74th minute, man of the match Tambling created an opening for Murray to seal the win with a second Chelsea goal. Teams : |
| 04.01.1964 | A Third Round FA Cup tie that kicked
off at 2.45 because Arsenal were also at home saw both sides
under-strength. Spurs were without Marchi, Brown, Medwin and
Mackay, while the Pensioners missed Houseman and Bonetti. Spurs took an early lead after three minutes, when Eddie McCreadie fell with Cliff Jones and referee Finney gave a free kick to Tottenham. Peter Baker played it in, Smith swung at the ball, but missed and fortunately, it fell to Terry Dyson to knock it home past 19 year old John Dunn in the Chelsea goal. With twenty minutes gone, Chelsea levelled when Frank Blunstone's run saw him pass two Spurs defenders and his cross was onto the head of Bert Murray, who beat Hollowbread to make it 1-1. The second half was a scrappier affair, with McCreadie clearing Eddie Clayton's shot off the line and Hollowbread denying Barry Bridges' drive. On 65 minutes, Smith crashed Jones' cross against the underside of the bar, but the ball bounced out and that was the last meaningful effort on goal as the game fizzled out into a draw and a replay was needed to sort out the two teams. Teams : |
| 21.09.1963 | Jimmy Greaves' hustling of
Chelsea defender Ken Shellito caused him to put through his won goal to
give Spurs an early lead and then Bobby Smith scored against his old team
at Stamford Bridge to give Tottenham a 2-0 lead before the interval.
It was the 87th minute when the Tottenham goalscoring was complete, as a
Frank Blunstone back-pass was intercepted by Peter Baker, who went onto
put the ball into the net for what turned out to be his last goal for the
club. Teams : |
| 30.12.1961 | Spurs
recorded a big win over Chelsea in this First Division match at White Hart
Lane. A single Cliff Jones goal separated the sides at the turn-around, but Dave Mackay netted and another from Jones put Tottenham 3-0 ahead. Graham Moore scored twice for Chelsea to make the gap just one goal. This produced a reaction from Spurs, who went forward to score through Jones' hat-trick goal and a fifth from Less Allen. Teams : |
| 03.04.1961 | Three headed goals gave
Tottenham the win in a close London derby.
The first came in the seventh minute from John White's cross, when Bobby Smith nodded one in against his old club. Just after the half hour, Brabrook fell heavily after challenging Maurice Norman in the air and left the field, leaving Chelsea a man short. Shortly after, Chelsea's Jimmy Greaves hit home a cross from Mike Harrison and received a booking (the first of his career) for disputing the offside decision that ruled it out. It was only a short time after when the Blues did equalise form a Frank Blunstone shot and they went on to take the lead in the 55th minute through an unmarked Greaves. On 59 minutes, Spurs pulled level When Medwin headed home a nod back by Smith from Blanchflower's long cross. A quarter of an hour from the end of the game, Maurice Norman moved forward to head home a Dave Mackay free-kick to secure a 3-2 win. Teams : |

Jimmy Greaves' senior debut marked the start of a remarkable career and as was his wont, he scored for Chelsea in a 1-1 draw. Tottenham had the early chances, but failed to take them. They had a chance to take the lead ten minutes after half-time, when Smith was fouled in the area, but Tommy Harmer missed from the penalty spot. Tottenham took the lead with Alfie Stokes converting on 75 minutes, but the 17 year old Greaves earned his side a draw with five minutes left in the game. Teams : |
| 20.02.1957 |
A 2-0 Spurs lead at half-time was turned around by the visiting Chelsea side to take both points. Tommy Harmer netted a penalty to give Tottenham the lead and Alfie Stokes doubled the advantage before the break, but Les Allen, then playing for Chelsea, pulled a goal back just after the re-start. Derek Saunders made it 2-2 and this was followed by goals from Johnny McNicholl and Allen's second before Terry Medwin pulled a consolation goal back to record a 4-3 win for the Pensioners. Teams : |

It was an early goal after Frank Bentley
and Frank Blunstone created the chance for Leslie Stubbs to head home
that gave Chelsea the lead in this First Division meeting at WHL.
Bentley could have doubled the lead after 30 minutes, but shot wide with
only Ditchburn to beat
and it proved a costly miss,
as George Robb and Len Duquemin produced some space to put the ball in
and Eddie Baily stretched out a leg to knock home a low cross from 12
yards out to equalise. The two Spurs players proved providers again, with Sonny Walters on the end of their good work this time to score in the 77th minute. Robb was a menace to Chelsea on the day and was brought down in the area to win a penalty kick, but Alf Ramsey's spot-kick was saved by Bill Robertson. Teams : |
