30.08.1992	A spectacular goal by Jason Cundy (his only strike for the club) earned Spurs a draw on their visit to Portman Road. With all eyes on debutant Teddy Sheringham, Cundy stole the limelight when, with half an hour gone, he challenged for the ball on the half-way line and his contact lofted into the air and over Craig Forrest in the Ipswich goal some 50 yards away !! John Wark equalised with a goal when he looked offside to share the spoils and take Spurs off the bottom of the table. Teams : Ipswich - Forrest, Wark.

21.12.1985	Ipswich came to White Hart Lane one place off the bottom and left in a worse position after a 2-0 Spurs win.

Hoddle headed home a second shortly after, going in low to convert Falco's header down from a cross by Chris Waddle.

10.04.1982	Spurs had been on the end of a good kicking from Barcelona in midweek and Ipswich were sitting second in the League, so it was a surprise that Spurs won this one at White Hart Lane. Clemence saved a John Wark penalty to give Spurs confidence to go on to take the points with a shot from Glenn Hoddle with just nine minutes remaining.

14.03.1981	A 3-0 win for Ipswich at Portman Road was not without some controversy. The first Town goal came in the eighth minute, when Eric Gates fired in a shot that beat Daines at his near post from a narrow angle, then with half-time approaching, Don McAllister tackled Paul Mariner in the area and the forward plummeted to the ground. The referee pointed to the spot and John Wark scored with the resulting penalty to make it 2-0 at the break. Daines made a good save from Frans Thijssen when he kicked out the Dutchman's header with his feet while diving the wrong way, but he was helpless when Alan Brazil ran through, from what looked like an offside position, to put the ball past the Spurs keeper in the 68th minute.

02.09.1972	Alan Gilzean threatened the Ipswich goal in the first half, but it was in the second half that the goals came to see the game drawn 1-1. An entertaining game was enlivened further when Colin Viljoen opened the scoring, but when Martin Peters was fouled by Kevin Beattie, he got up to plant the ball into the net from the penalty spot to equalise. With a final push Spurs almost won the match, but had to settle for the draw. Teams : Ipswich - Beattie, Viljoen.

03.04.1972	This First Division meeting at Portman Road ended in an Easter Monday win for the Suffolk side. The score was 0-0 at half-time, but Spurs had lost John Pratt with a serious nose injury during that 45 minutes. Into the second half, Tony Want put the ball past Jennings to give the home side the advantage, but Martin Chivers took a chance soon after to bring the scores level at 1-1. However, turning in a good performance, Ipswich grabbed a deserved winner late on through striker Rod Belfitt. Teams : Ipswich - Belfitt.

02.10.1971	Spurs had to come from a goal behind to take both points in this Division 1 game at White Hart Lane. Ian Collard had shocked the Tottenham fans by putting the Blues into the lead with an early goal, after exchanging passes with former Spurs Jimmy Robertson and hitting his shot just inside the post in the 16th minute. In the second period, Spurs started to gain the ascendancy and when Martin Chivers steered home the 58th minute equaliser, as Laurie Sivell and Derek Jefferson left a cross to give the Spurs striker and easy chance to score, it looked as though Ipswich would crumble under the pressure. Tottenham eventually gained the winner when Martin Peters scored from a Cyril Knowles free-kick to secure the victory, with the Town players calling for a Gilzean foul on Sivell, which was not given.

14.03.1962	Alf Ramsey's return to White Hart Lane as manager of second place Ipswich Town could not have gone better for him.

21.10.1961	The demand to see this match between the current champions and the team who were currently top of the table meant that the gates had to be closed before the kick-off with a record crowd already inside. Cliff Jones' two goals had put Spurs into a half-time lead, with Ted Phillips netting one for the home side. The game was turned in Ipswich's favour by two Ray Crawford goals in three second half minutes. With Spurs pressing on the Town goal, the home side managed to hold out for both points.
