06.10.1993 Spurs moved into the Third Round of the League Cup with a convincing win over Burnley.  Teddy Sheringham's long-range shot gave Spurs the ideal start in the third minute, but David Eyres drew the Clarets level just four minutes later.

Tottenham's cause was not helped when Darren Caskey was sent off, but substitute David Howells volleyed Tottenham ahead again.  Burnley hit the woodwork and had another effort kicked away from the line, before Sheringham headed home Anderton's free-kick the third to round off the win in injury time.

01.04.1978 Spurs run of 19 matches unbeaten ended at Turf Moor in this Second Division match.

Spurs put in a sparkling performance, but were unable to find a way through the Clarets' defence.  Spurs must have had 80% of the game and took the lead in the 20th minute through Peter Taylor, who burst forward to hit a shot from just under 30 yards and the ball roared into the net off the post and Alan Stevenson's hand.  Colin Lee brought a fine save from the Burnley keeper, who pushed the ball around the post, but Terry Cochrane's cross was headed in by Billy Ingham to draw Burnley level on 27 minutes.

Burnley had a good spell just after the interval and Peter Noble scored the home side's second goal after 52 minutes.  Tottenham pushed Steve Perryman forward and had Burnley on the back foot, with Stevenson making a string of saves to keep Spurs out.

29.11.1975 Both teams were near the bottom of the table coming into the First Division clash.

Ray Hankin had given Burnley the lead at half-time, but having lost Willie Morgan to injury after the break, they had to play on with ten men as Paul Bradshaw had come on for Doug Collins in the first half.

Spurs took advantage of the numerical advantage, with John Duncan equalising from John Pratt's corner and then the Scottish striker headed in halfway through the second 45 minutes to give Spurs a useful win.

11.09.1973 It took a comeback from two goals down for Spurs to get a point out of this First Division meeting at Turf Moor.

Just before the half hour, Geoff Nulty put Burnley ahead and then Colin Waldron's header put the home side 2-0 up.  Phil Holder's first (and only) Spurs league goal brought a ray of hope just before half-time when his low drive caught a deflection on it's way into the net.

After the break, it took only a short time for Martin Peters to level the scores when he cleverly headed home Ralph Coates' cross.

21.04.1964 Burnley handed out a First Division hammering at Turf Moor as Spurs were outplayed.

It was a Tuesday night Tottenham would want to forget as Gordon Harris 2, Willie Irvine and Brian O'Neill gave the Clarets a half-time lead of 4-0 and went on to add two more goals through O'Neill and Irvine before Spurs perked up, hitting back with Greaves and Jones goals.  However, Andy Lochhead had not finished and scored Burnley's seventh goal on the night.
