marked the opening of the New West stand and Sir Stanley Rous, President
of FIFA, cut the ribbon to a firework reception.
The fireworks were a taste of things to come as Glenn Hoddle's penalty in the ninth minute gave Spurs an early lead. Ricky Villa hit another goal on the half-hour, then headed home Tony Galvin's pinpoint cross on 40 minutes, before rounding off his hat-trick just after the interval. Kenny Hibbitt had pulled a goal back for Wolves just before the half-time whistle. A bullet header from Garth Crooks and a sixth goal from Mark Falco sealed a fitting way to mark the advent of the new part of White Hart Lane stadium. Teams

Spurs were robbed when, with seconds left of the regulation 90 minutes, Kenny Hibbitt went down in the box under challenge from Glenn Hoddle. There looked nothing amiss at the time, but controversial referee Clive Thomas pointed to the spot and the resulting penalty kick was stuck away by Willie Carr to give Wolves a replay. This had equalled the scores after Hoddle had converted a free kick awarded inches outside the box, when a penalty had looked the correct decision. Archibald had struck to give Spurs and early lead, but they were pulled back by Hibbitt's goal. The crowd was dangerously packed in that day and many Spurs fans complained of crushing at the Leppings Lane end of the ground and had to be moved to the opposite end of the stadium. Teams : |

salvaged a point from Tottenham's visit to Molineux. Spurs had the better chances in the first half against struggling Wolves, but failed to profit from them. McGrath struck the post, Martin Chivers' over-head kick flew just inches wise and Ralph Coates' fierce shot was well saved. It was in the 61st minute that the home team took their chance and Barry Powell converted to give Wolves the lead. Tottenham were well worth their equaliser, which arrived when Ray Evans and Chivers combined to present McGrath the opportunity to shoot home from seven yards with his right foot. Teams : |

Having had their train delayed, the Spurs side had to get changed in the carriage and got to the ground just in time - thanks to a police escort !! When Tottenham eventually arrived, they did find a frozen pitch and a Wolves side that came at them from the off, with Ditchburn having to be alert to keep them at bay. Tottenham's best attack in the first half ended with Harmer being upended in the box, but penalty shouts were dismissed by the ref. The second half saw both sides continue to master the conditions and Spurs were denied by the linesman's flag when Duquemin and Walters both looked like scoring. Tottenham lost the services of Bennett through injury, but he had to stay on, there being no substitutes in those days and in the end were grateful for the 0-0 scoreline. Teams : |
