Spurs bounced back from their FA Cup
defeat to beat Blackburn Rovers comprehensively at Ewood
Park.
Nicola Berti had already gone close
with one effort before the Italian converted Fox's cross at the far post
to give Spurs a 37th minute lead.
In the closing stages, Spurs piled on
the pressure scoring through Armstrong and Fox, who both fired powerful
shots past the Rovers keeper.

A scoreless
match result did not tell the tale of this game, in which Spurs played
well without a lot of luck.
Tim Flowers was in
outstanding form, making excellent saves from Howells in the 16th minute
and then Wilcox cleared Mahorn's effort off the line shortly
afterwards. Dominguez forced Flowers to save well once more,
while Valery managed to clear the ball off the line fro Howells in a goalmouth
scramble. Even though Blackburn
were reduced to ten men by the second yellow card for Valery, Spurs
could not break Rovers down and had to settle for a point, despite
Howells and Dominguez going close and with Campbell blocking a Sutton
shot.

Steffen Iversen gave Spurs the lead in
the 40th minute of this Premier League game, finishing at the far post
following Fox's cross before Colin Hendry equalised for Rovers from a
56th minute Jason Wilcox corner.
Walker denied Le Saux's fierce drive
with a fine one-handed save, with Flowers relieved to see Sinton's cross
bounce back off the bar and he was alert to keep Spurs at bay. But
then, with 82 minutes on the clock, Andy Sinton popped up to hit the
winner for Tottenham, chesting down Allan Nielsen's long-throw and
firing past the Rovers goalie.

An opening day win at Ewood
Park for Spurs was tinged with sadness.
Two Chris Armstrong goals won the game
for Tottenham, but they lost Gary Mabbutt with a broken leg in the 18th
minute, after Graham Fenton followed through on a tackle after the ball
had gone.
Spurs took the lead in the 32nd
minute, when David Howells crossed to Armstrong who flung himself
headlong to steer his header past Flowers. Spurs strung together a
16 pass move to create the second goal, which was finished off by
Armstrong after being set up by Howells and Fox.

Spurs drew a blank at home
to Blackburn Rovers, who took the points from this Premier League
match. Rosenthal supplied early activity for Tim Flower sin the
Rovers goal, making him save well twice and Ripley drew a save from
Walker at the other end. With an hour on the clock, Shearer headed
in the opening goal of the game and eleven minutes later, Gallagher
finished off a good move to make it 2-0.
Nick Barmby, Kevin Scott and Darren
Caskey all had good efforts, but Spurs were unable to get back into the
match

Spurs took this League Cup
Fourth Round match with a 1-0 win that came against a determined
Blackburn side.
Spurs were kept at bay by former
keeper Bobby Mimms, who produced fine stops from efforts by Dozzell
and Barmby shot over when through in the 82nd minute. Spurs
had moved Campbell forward from defence to hit a 64th minute shot after
Samways, Edinburgh and Barmby linked to give him the chance to see
Tottenham through.

Alan Shearer made the
strike that won this match in the 15th minute, firing a shot past Spurs
keeper Erik Thorstvedt to earn the three points for Blackburn, in which
they dominated and only a fine performance from the Norwegian goalie,
the margin could have been much bigger.

The last home match of the
season saw Tottenham slip to a 1-2 defeat.
A 23rd minute strike from Mike Newell
gave Rovers the lead, which he added to in the 55th minute to put the

remaining to make it a grandstand finish, but Spurs could not get an
equaliser in the time remaining.

This Division One match
ended the season after being postponed from the opening day (21.08.1965)
because of a polio epidemic in Blackburn. A single Jimmy Greaves
goal won the match for Spurs against a
Blackburn side who were already relegated before this game kicked off.
Phil Beal created the opportunity for Greaves after 22 minutes, but
Tottenham were indebted to Bill Brown, who kept a busy Rovers side at
bay.

Spurs ran out comfortable winners as
injury-hit Blackburn travelled to White Hart Lane.
Tottenham were missing broken leg
victim Maurice Norman and Cliff Jones with a thigh strain, but Jimmy
Greaves' return to action after ten weeks out with jaundice meant
that Rovers were the victims of his enforced lay-off. It was Frank
Saul who opened the scoring though, with the first goal and Greaves then
added a second. Strike partner Alan Gilzean rounded off the win
with a brace of goals that even soon to be Spurs defender Mike England
could not help keep out.

With Blackburn Rovers
taking a first half lead after 23 minutes through Mike Harrison, it
looked like Tottenham might struggle to get back into the game. A
hat-trick from Jimmy Greaves and a further goal from Terry Dyson set
Spurs fans minds at rest and saw Tottenham through to a good win.

Spurs had won the European
Cup Winners Cup just five days before this First Division meeting with
Blackburn Rovers and played a less than familiar line-up in losing 0-3.
The game had originally been postponed during the severe winter in
February, but a two goal haul from Mick Ferguson and another goal from Mike Harrison
sealed a win for Rovers.

Smith equalised before the half-time interval.
Tottenham went on to dominate the
second half, with two goals from Les Allen and Danny Blanchflower
and Bobby Smith's second wrapped up the points, although Peter Dobing
hit a late consolation for Rovers, making the final score 5-2.

later to finish the league programme at Ewood Park. This time the
