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 : |

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 : |
01.08.1993 | The final of the Makita

There were
debuts for Stuart Nethercott and Danny Hill as Spurs were held to a 1-1
draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Nethercott was paired in the centre of defence with Neil Ruddock, while Hill started as a substitute, but replaced Andy Turner in the 73rd minute. Both went close to scoring with Nethercott hitting the post and Hill getting the ball into the net, but it was disallowed. Teddy Sheringham scored from the penalty spot in the 31st minute, following a free-kick to the far post was headed back and cleared off the goal-line, but a spot-kick was awarded. The goal made it 22 for the season for him, but his former Millwall strike partner Tony Cascarino scored an equaliser for the Blues seven minutes into the second half. Townsend's high ball in from the left was volleyed past Thorstvedt to level the match at 1-1. Teams : |
05.12.1992 | Three goals in the last
fifteen minutes livened up this dull encounter at the Lane and saw Chelsea return
West with the points.
Eddie Newton broke through for the Pensioners in the 76th minute when Graham Stuart broke away on the right and his low ball was slid in at the far post. Newton then added a second nine minutes later, with a virtual replay of the first goal, before 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 with just two minutes remaining.

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 towed away with the team's kit in it. 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

06.03.1982 | An FA Cup Sixth round tie saw
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).
Hoddle's goal started when a free-kick on the edge of the Tottenham penalty area was tapped short by Graham Roberts to Paul Miller. His cross-field pass to Galvin on the left opened the play and Hughton supported him inside, playing it onto Archibald on the edge of the D of the Chelsea area. He flicked the ball through his legs and behind him to Hazard, who took a touch and on the volley played a 10 yard pass to his right to Glenn Hoddle. With one touch to set the ball, he drilled a low, bobbling shot along the rough Stamford Bridge surface which flew across the keeper and into the bottom corner of the net. Teams : |

19.04.1975 | With both
teams in the bottom three of the First Division, the match was significant in terms of points,
but also for the events surrounding the match. Fights on the
terraces spilled over onto the pitch and the game's start was delayed by
ref Jack Taylor, while Police struggle to clear the hooligans from the
playing surface. 18 year old Ray Wilkins was appointed captain and 17 year old Sparrow came in at left back in youthful Chelsea side battling relegation with Spurs, with 18 year old Teddy Maybank making his debut up front. Gary Locke was booked for a crude tackle on Alfie Conn, before Pat Jennings foiled Ian Britton with a save close down to his right to deny the midfielder put through by Wilkins. The Spurs keeper was on top form as he made a brilliant save from a point-blank header as Hutchinson powered Cooke’s cross at goal, managing to turn the ball over the bar. Cyril Knowles played a free-kick in from the left after Naylor had been fouled by Harris and Phillips had to turn it over the bar as it threatened to creep in at the far post. Chelsea thought they had taken the lead when a free-kick was headed back into the goalmouth by Droy and it went over Phil Beal’s jump, leaving Cooke in front of goal, where he shot past Jennings. Jones took a long kick from Jennings down skilfully and turned Ron Harris to fire in a rising left foot drive that Phillips tipped over the top before the teams left at half-time with the game goal-less. Straight after the re-start John Duncan forced Phillips into a diving save going to his right to turn the bobbling effort wide for a corner. At the other end, Jennings grabbed a Droy header as he met Hutchinson’s long throw, but it was Spurs who took the lead. Perryman played a ball up the right wing for Duncan, who turned Sparrow inside out to cross to the near post. Chris Jones held the ball up with Harris at his back and laid it into the path of Steve Perryman, who side-footed the ball home from five yards out in the 57th minute. Cooke got away from Knowles to cross, but Osgood headed the ball away under pressure from Hutchinson. A good opportunity opened up when Locke lobbed a ball forward and Sparrow was clear, but he couldn’t control the ball and Pat Jennings collected it. A long Knowles free-kick was won by Jones in the air, looping the ball at goal, where Phillips had to back-pedal to touch it over the bar. Chelsea’s long ball tactics from free-kicks almost paid off, with Locke’s free-kick when Droy hit the ball into the net from 12 yards out after a massive melee in the Spurs penalty area, but once more it was ruled out for handball. Maybank went close with a prod past Jennings, but also past the post. Jimmy Neighbour took a right wing corner that found Osgood at the far post, flinging himself forward to put a diving header just wide. Another high ball into the Spurs box led to Jennings dropping the ball under pressure from Maybank, with Wilkins left with the simple task of putting the ball past Beal on the line, but he steered it wide and the Spurs fans breathed a sigh of relief. From another Neighbour corner, the ball went through everyone to the edge of the box on the far side, where Alfie Conn met it first time with his left foot and sent the ball into the opposite bottom corner to double Tottenham’s lead. Chelsea looked to hit back straight away and the ball fell to Britton on the edge of the box and with players free to his right, he chose to shoot and put it into the Park Lane crowd. Chelsea threw Droy upfield as a centre forward and Jennings did well to hold the ball at the second attempt as he jumped for a high ball into the Chelsea man. Teams : |
12.10.1974 | An early penalty
settled this First Division game in Chelsea's favour at Stamford Bridge. Mike England's challenge on Tommy Baldwin was adjudged to be a foul and John Hollins fired home the spot-kick in the seventh minute to beat Pat Jennings. Spurs hit back, with Chris Jones heading wide soon after the goal and then Steve Perryman hit the post with a shot. Two saves by Chelsea keeper John Phillips denied Spurs before half-time, with Perryman's header and a close range Jimmy Neighbour shot seeing him keep the ball out. While the second half was a more even affair, the Spurs goal lead a charmed life at the very end, when two chances in a late attack somehow failed to find the net.

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. The Spurs midfielder's goal was nearly wiped out within minutes when Peter Osgood headed narrowly over the bar. And while Chelsea enjoyed the bulk of possession and chances in the second half, they could not find a way past the Spurs defence. 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
after just one minute and 49 seconds.
This was followed by Ralph Coates' first league goal for the club in the
17th minute,
forcing the ball over the line from close range at the Paxton Road end, despite a vain attempt to stop the ball by Bonetti. The goal-scoring
was completed within 20 minutes and 20 seconds of the kick off, when Chivers took a Coates pass and
struck the Spurs third and his 25th of the season.

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 seconds before half-time and a Martin Peters penalty fifteen minutes after the interval. Chelsea's goal came from Chris Garland with eight minutes left, 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 : |
27.11.1971 | A big crowd gathered at
Stamford Bridge to witness this close London derby
in which Spurs failed to match their recent form and succumbed 0-1 to
Chelsea.
In a quiet first half, Spurs only threatened once, when Martin Peters brought a low save from Peter Bonetti when he shot from the middle of the goalmouth, while at the other end, Pat Jennings produced a good save from a Charlie Cooke header. Peter Osgood and Peter Houseman also had good chances without managing to hit the target. Tottenham started the second half well, but a defensive lapse let Chelsea in for the only goal of the game. Hudson hit a long pass from deep inside his own half to the right wing, where Kember took the ball down and centred for Cooke to strike the ball past Jennings with just ten minutes remaining in the match. Spurs still had a chance to level the score, when Ray Evans and Ralph Coates made an opening for Martin Chivers to head downawards at goal, bringing a desperate save from Bonetti. Chivers also had a late header fly just over the crossbar. Teams : |
13.03.1971 |
The two Martins - Chivers and Peters - scored to give Spurs a 2-1 victory in the First Division over Chelsea, who got a goal through Tottenham old boy Keith Weller. Weller scored with a fierce shot that beat Jennings and Knowles on the line just after half time to give Chelsea the lead and the scorer later received an elbow in the face from Knowles, who accidentally caught him, bloodying his nose. Jennings had to push a first half shot from Hollins round the post to stop Chelsea going further ahead, but Peters and Chivers scored to take the points as Spurs came from behind to win. Teams : |
14.11.1970 | Two late Spurs goals won this in
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.
In driving rain, Spurs put in a fine performance to take the points in this First Division match to secure a tenth successive league win, which was achieved with some good football and a final flourish. Having dominated the first half, Spurs had one good chance when Jimmy Pearce forced Peter Bonetti into a save. Hinton injured an ankle and had to be replaced, while Pat Jennings needed treatment after hitting his head on a goalpost when making a save. Chelsea came back into the game during the second period and towards the end, John Hollins' cross found Tommy Baldwin's head, but he put to just over the bar. With the game looking as though it would finish in a draw, skipper Alan Mullery hit a powerful dipping shot into the net with just a minute left to put Tottenham into the lead. There was still time for Alan Gilzean to put in a cross and Pearce was on the end to net a second from close range in injury time. Teams : Match receipts of £24,500 were a Stamford
Bridge record at the time. |

27.08.1969 | A draw in this London derby
saw David Webb head Chelsea into the lead a minute after the break. His
goal marked a long period of attacking by Spurs, but they had to wait
for the equaliser from winger Jimmy Pearce. His rising 30 yard shot beat Peter Bonetti's
dive to his left all ends up with eleven minutes left
on the clock to share the points in this Wednesday night fixture.

Chelsea
arrived at White Hart Lane with five straight wins under their belt, but
a strong wind made playing flowing football difficult. Fifth placed Chelsea had the best early chance with Peter Osgood's shot being headed off the line by Peter Collins and three other opportunities were not successful, as Pat Jennings touched over a shot by Osgood, John Boyle's drive hit the post and with an open goal in front of him, Ian Hutchinson shot wide of the mark. It wasn't all Chelsea, as David Webb was forced to kick a header by Alan Gilzean from going in the goal. Roger Morgan had failed to make the game as he was hit by 'flu, but his replacement – Neil Johnson – was in the right place at the right time to get on the end of Collins' through pass, racing past defender Ron Harris and then lifting the ball over keeper Peter Bonetti with just ten minutes remaining. The lead was almost doubled near the end, with Gilly just failing to meet Jimmy Greaves' inviting left wing cross. Teams : The ticket price for visiting fans was 12

Cliff Jones and Alan Gilzean gave Spurs the points in this First Division
meeting that ended 4-2.
The muddy surface made it difficult for good control, but Cliff Jones mastered the conditions to score two goals and make one to help Tottenham to the win at White Hart Lane. Alan Gilzean handed Spurs the lead in the 19th minute, after Frank Saul headed a cross from Jones into the Scot's path and the second came when Dave Mackay's free-kick was headed in by Jones. Chelsea hit back through midfielder George Graham before the break to make it 2-1. On 52 minutes, Jones restored the two goal cushion, netting from close range, reacting to the ball before Eddie McCreadie after Peter Bonetti failed to gather a shot from Eddie Clayton. A right foot shot ten minutes later from Gilzean was created by Jimmy Robertson, leaving Bonetti beaten again, as the ball hit the top left hand corner of the net. Then with four minutes left, Peter Osgood took on the Spurs defence and made an opening for Barry Bridges, which he took to make it 4-2, but the Blues were reliant on Bonetti for preventing Gilzean's hat-trick with a stretching save.

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 past 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.

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 from a Frank Blunstone shot and they went on to take the lead in the 55th minute through an unmarked Greaves.

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 : |
