1895	Spurs had played Vampires at Norbury on 2nd November, losing 2-4, but an appeal to the FA over the pitch markings caused the game to be replayed at Tottenham's Northumberland Park pitch. Goals from Peter Hunter and Harry Pryor gave Spurs a 2-1 win. J Gilmore, inside forward, makes his debut. Cuthbert Monk plays his last game for the club. Peter Hunter scores his last goal for Spurs.
1903	Robert Pilch, half back, makes his first appearance for Spurs, as does Arthur Archer, full-back.
1907	Bert Middlemiss, outside left, makes his debut.
1912	Solomon Upton and Gordon Jones play their last games in Spurs colours.
1929	Biggest away defeat by Preston North End.
1931	David Copeland, inside forward 1899-1905, dies.
1935	Vic Buckingham, defender, makes his debut.
1938	Spurs inside forward, Willie Hall represented England against Ireland and scored five goals in the match. He grabbed a hat-trick inside three and a half minutes in the 7-0 win making it the fastest international hat-trick ever.
1968	Jimmy Greaves scores four goals in a 5-1 win over Sunderland.
1991	Luton Town's visit to White Hart Lane was interrupted by a floodlight failure when they were leading 1-0. However, after the enforced break, Spurs took control with Scott Houghton scoring his first (and only) goals for the club with a brace and Gary Lineker chipped in with two more.
1996	Andy Sinton's first goal for Spurs.
2002	Midfielder Simon Davies is dismissed for two bookable offences after just 27 minutes of the North London derby, leaving Spurs an uphill task. His red card was subsequently downgraded to a yellow as there was no contact involved in the first booking.
