Just been writing on the Tottenham forums for the petition.

Anyone remember going to this? Pity we lost, but was good to see Town against these good players, I think Durie was up front with Lineker, another great player.

Grimsby Town already dumped Aston Villa out! lol

I was there to.  Think we lost 3-0.  Their finishing was clinical.  Surprisingly, we outplayed them for large parts of the game.  There was the Town chant "What's it liked to be outclassed?".

At least we beat them a few years later.

Lineker did nowt really except when he ball came to him in the box. Quick as a flash, it was in the back of the net. We played really well that night but they scored the goals when the chances came.

I was just behind the goal Pete right near the front, my lad and me have just watched the clip and although I have got great memories I can't help but feel a bit down at were we are at now, the quality of football was excellent back then and just look at that support, my lad was just saying "I wish it was like that now Dad" let's hope we can get them days back!

I have just remembered, our postman got a lift from Suffolk with us saying he was a Spurs fan,

Turned out he supported Luton,

Mind you if I supported Luton,

I would say I was a Spurs fan as well.

I seem to recall that their best player on the night was Durie. Never really rated him previously when I'd seen him play on telly, but he showed real quality against us. Perhaps it was just a little bit too much pace for our defenders?

I was there, Town were the better side on the night although they lost.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Recall it well. My wife said "that Lineker has done nothing" and as she finished the sentence the ball dropped and he stabbed it in.
As for Gordon Durie he was once in the next room to me after we had both had had knee ops!
