A
Third Round League Cup tie saw Spurs progress easily 5-0 in front of a
small crowd of 15,542.
Chris Waddle
poked home a blocked Gough header from Paul Allen's corner to give Spurs
the lead. Then Clive Allen turned to hit a second and headed the
third with a header from cousin Paul's corner kick into the second
half. The goals kept coming with a fierce Roberts volley and a typical
curling Glenn Hoddle free-kick to wrap up a
comfortable win.

A
2-1 win over Birmingham at White
Hart Lane was secured by two Gary Mabbutt goals.
Pressed
into a striker's role in place of flu-struck Steve Archibald, Mabbutt
showed his flexibility by taking both strikes well to ensure Spurs came
out on top.

Manager Willie Bell fielded the same starting eleven for the second
match running and secured a second win with three goals scored, against
a Spurs side who were hoping to push into the UEFA Cup places at the top
of the table. The win eased
the relegation threat for the Blues, who missed some easy opportunities
in the opening exchanges and had to wait until the 40th minute before
Gary Emmanuel's corner was firmly headed past Pat Jennings by
centre-half Joe Gallagher.
When Trevor Francis buried a low drive past
Jennings to make it 2-0, the win looked secure for Brum, but an injury
to Hibbert, who had been controlling midfield, let Spurs creep back into
it and Ralph Coates laid the ball into John Pratt's path to drill home
past Dave Latchford to give Birmingham some jitters in the closing
stages.
Having started the match in attack, but dropped
deeper into defence when the pressure was mounting on the Blues goal,
captain Kenny Burns popped up to shoot home Bob Hatton's lay-off to make
it 3-1 with four minutes remaining and grab both points.
Birmingham City :
Latchford, Calderwood, Styles, Page, Gallagher, Want, Emmanuel, Francis,
Burns (c), Withe, Hibbert (Hatton).
Spurs:

Coates, Perryman (c), Chivers, J. Duncan, Neighbour (Chris Jones).

Birmingham City came to White Hart Lane
wearing a three colour shirt of yellow, red and black vertical thirds and left with
nothing. A goal from Chivers, despite former Spurs defender Tony
Want's attempt to tackle him and another by Ralph Coates, sliding in to
finish from the six yard line gave Tottenham the first half goals that
took the points.
Spurs:
Jennings, Kinnear (Naylor), Knowles, Pratt, England, Beal, Gilzean,
Perryman, Chivers, Peters, Coates.
Birmingham City : Cooper, Want, Carroll, Campbell, Hynd, Harland,
Pendry, Francis, Latchford, Hatton, Gordon Taylor.

A gritty performance
by City gave Spurs a scare in this FA Cup quarter final tie. While
there was little to talk about in terms of goalscoring chances, the
match was memorable for one moment when Dave Mackay stepped in between
Cyril Knowles and Trevor Hockey, who were having their own private
battle, to save the referee getting involved.

Spurs: - Hockey.

Tottenham's
trip to the Midlands proved pointless on this occasion, as Malcolm Beard
hit the winner after 25 minutes, following good work from Brian Sharples
and Dennis Thwaites. Spurs hit back and Greaves went close twice
being denied by Colin Green and Sharples.
Tottenham
strove to get an equaliser, but Marchi's 25 yard effort went just wide
and Schofield was required to save from Jimmy Robertson.
Birmingham City : Schofield, Green, Sharples, Thwaites.
Spurs: - Marchi, Greaves, Robertson.

Bobby
Smith's early goal set Spurs up for a 3-2 win in the First Division at
St. Andrews.
Les
Allen added a second, with John White contributing a third, before Jimmy
Harris netted twice (the first from the penalty spot in the first half)
to reduce the difference, but Spurs ran out winners on the day.

Bobby Smith created an opening for Les
Allen to give Tottenham the two points in this game at St. Andrews.
Making
the trip at the top of the league, Spurs took the lead when Allen
rounded Johnny Schofield in the Birmingham goal to hit the net.
The lead was a narrow one, which almost did not prove enough when Robin
Stubbs scored, but the goal was wiped out when the referee awarded a
handball against Dick Neal.

A Second replay was required in this
Sixth Round tie to separate the two sides and Molineux was the venue for
the game. Having missed the
replay because of the death of his son, Charlie Walters returned at his
wife's behest and it was his excellent 12th minute goal that decided the
tie. He took Ron Burgess' throw-in and dribbled along the
dead-ball line, moved in-field and then slipped his shot between Merrick
and the near post to put Spurs through to a semi-final against Blackpool
at Villa Park.
Spurs:
Ditchburn, Ramsey, Withers, Brittan, Gibbins, Burgess, Walters, Bennett,
Duquemin, Baily, Medley.
Birmingham City : Merrick, Hall, Green, Bannister, Badham, Boyd,
Stewart, Purdon, Trigg, Ferris, Wardle.

Spurs took the lead in this Sixth Round
replay, but once more it ended all square.
A quarter of an hour in, Len Duquemin headed Spurs
into the lead from Medley's corner, but 45 minutes later, Jackie Stewart
put a free-kick in for captain Len Boyd to equalise.
Charlie Withers, Eddie Baily and Duquemin
combined to provide Bennett with a scoring opportunity to give Spurs the
lead again in the 69th minute, but back came Brum when Ray Ferris headed
home Stewart's cross to take the game into extra time. No further
scoring meant a second replay and with Birmingham chairman Harry Morris
calling correctly for the toss, the venue choice was his and Spurs had
to head to the Midlands for a third game at Wolves.

Spurs faced Second Division Birmingham
City in this Sixth Round FA Cup tie at St. Andrews.
City took the lead through Willie Wardle, who
scored with a 25 yard effort, but following Gil Merrick making a good
save and a header hitting the crossbar, Spurs hit back in the 75th
minute, when Les Bennett headed home Les Medley's centre to earn a
replay.

Spurs
opened the scoring with Tich Handley setting up Andy Thompson, who took
on two defenders and hit his shot past the keeper. Bill Harvey
crossed for Joe Bradford to bring the scores level and a 20-yarder from
Jimmy Cringan gave the Blues the lead.
Both
Bradford and Ernie Islip hit the woodwork before Moses Lane put City 3-1
up, but Tottenham narrowed the gap with Jack Elkes scoring against his
old club.
