1988 Danny Thomas, the Spurs defender whose career had been ended the season before, was awarded a benefit match to help him in the future.  The glamorous opposition and the appearance of Kenny Dalglish and John Barnes in Spurs shirts helped a decent crowd put some money into Thomas' pocket.  He subsequently went on to do physiotherapy and served West Bromwich Albion in that capacity.  A popular player, he can also regularly be seen in the crowd at Spurs away games in the Midlands.
1992 Jason Cundy makes his Spurs debut at centre half, with Gordon Durie scoring a hat trick to add to the highest total of goals in a match with Coventry City.
1998 Garry Brady makes his final Spurs appearance.
