It took until the 62nd minute for Spurs to get their noses in front, when Ricky Villa's shot flew in off gargantuan central defender Sam Allardyce to make it 2-1.

| 28.10.1978 | Both
promoted sides met in the First Division at White Hart Lane and Spurs
started like a whirlwind. Peter Taylor's run up the line ended with a shot that Jim McDonagh beat out and then Colin Lee and Don McAllister both put good chances over the bar with their head. Taylor had a shot that flew past the post and then some good play saw Steve Perryman lay the ball into Lee's path and he blasted the ball into the net from just outside the box. Tottenham continued to press and McDonagh managed to get his hand to John Pratt's drive and divert the ball over the top, while five minutes into the second half, Glenn Hoddle's corner was headed in at the near post by Pratt to make it 2-0. At last Bolton showed some attacking intent and Peter Reid's shot flew off Barry Daines and Taylor was on hand to kick the ball out as it was going in. Winger Willie Morgan was unlucky after his shot flew off a Spurs leg and hit the crossbar. Teams : |
| 08.04.1978 | This crunch Division 2

It was a single goal from a familiar face to Bolton fans that won the game, with Don McAllister, signed from Burnden Park three years previously, who dived in to head home Glenn Hoddle's flick on to John Pratt's corner in the 35th minute to beat Jim McDonagh in goal. There was a threat to the lead when the ball hit the Spurs net in the 71st minute, but Neil Whatmore was ruled offside by the linesman after the referee had given the goal initially. Teams : |
| 10.01.1978 | Bolton took the FA Cup 3rd Round replay
in extra time to progress to the Fourth Round, but only after a battle
by Spurs.

| 07.01.1978 | Bolton were our opponents
in the FA Cup 3rd Round and having been vying with them at the top of
the Second Division only separated by goal difference, as tight battle was in prospect.

However, Roy Greaves got Bolton back on track with a penalty awarded against Jimmy Holmes for handball in the 55th minute. It was Hoddle put Tottenham further ahead when he produced a curler around McDonagh from 15 yards out after being set up by Holmes and Gerry Armstrong, but Neil Whatmore equalised with five minutes to spare, converting Micky Walsh's through ball to take Spurs back to Burnden Park for the replay.

Teams : |
| 18.04.1964 | Jimmy Greaves' goal decided

sat near the bottom of the table, even though they had not been beaten
in six matches needing one point from their last two games to avoid
relegation, but in converting a Mullery
cross, Greaves helped condemn Wanderers to the Second Division. Bolton should have gone ahead in the early stages when Francis Lee set up Gordon Taylor for a shot the flew just wide of the Tottenham goal. However, Greaves' goal five minutes before the interval settled the match, knocking the ball into the net from close range.

An early season game saw Tottenham beat Bolton Wanderers at White Hart Lane by four goals to two in the First Division to complete a double over the Trotters in five days. One win in three games prior to this match gave no indication of what would happen at the end of the campaign, with Spurs ending it with their first First Division championship title. Tottenham had been shocked when Moir shot home through a crowded penalty area to give the Trotters a 10th minute lead, but things got worse when Langton fed Hernon to set up Moir to score his second of the game. But Tottenham started to put things together, with some neat passing opening up Bolton to allow Medley to cross for Duquemin to crash in a header. This inspired a spell of pressure that brought an equaliser when Sonny Walters put a corner into the goalmouth and Howe knocked the ball into his own goal. Now level, Tottenham had the momentum to go on and win the game.

The second half proved a better one for Spurs and Medley, Walters and Duquemin all scored to give Tottenham the points. Teams : |

Bolton were near the foot of Division One, while Spurs were in the Second Division when the two teams were drawn together in the Third Round of the FA Cup at Burnden Park.

Seven minutes in, Len Duquemin hit the first goal of the game in his first FA Cup match, with Freddie Cox's cross providing him with the opportunity to head home a second in the closing minute of the game to see Tottenham to victory.
