03.08.1990 Derry City hosted Spurs in a pre-season friendly, with a 3-0 win coming for the visitors at Brandywell in a sparking first half performance.

All the goals came in the first half for Tottenham, but not before Derry City had caused a shock when it looked as though they had taken the lead, only for their goal to be disallowed for offside.  After 13 minutes, Spurs moved the ball up the right side, with Gary Lineker returned a pass to Paul Gascoigne over the head of a defender.  The goalkeeper closed Gazza down, but with a cross to the middle being cleared back to him, laying on the floor, he managed to pass the ball to Paul Stewart, who scored from close range.

Shortly after, Stewart crossed from the left wing to find Gascoigne at the far post, where he nodded the ball to Lineker in the middle and the striker chested the ball and as it came down, struck a volley past the goalkeeper from six yards out.  David Howells' cross from the right found Stewart's chest and he beat the advancing keeper from 10 yards to make it 3-0.

Paul Stewart could have claimed a hat-trick from the penalty spot after Bergsson broke into the box and was brought down.  The former Manchester City man's weak shot was easily saved by Dalton, who dropped to his right and easily held the ball.

The start of the second half saw Lineker go close when he came in from the right and his shot went through the keeper, but was cleared away before it got to the line.  Tottenham's only moment of concern came when Nayim skied a clearance and Bobby Mimms had to push the ball onto his crossbar.

03.04.1989 Steve Gritt's Testimonial ended in a 3-2 win for Charlton Athletic at the Valley.

The home team took the lead with Paul Williams scoring but Paul Stewart's cross provided the chance for Paul Walsh to head Tottenham level before Stewart turned the game in our favour firing home after a strong run with the ball.  It only took a minute for Steve Mackenzie to make it 2-2 and then he gave Charlton the lead with a good shot.  However, right on before half time Paul Stewart finished off Paul Allen's good approach work to make it 3-3 and allowing the crowd to get their breath back in the interval.

Stewart was hoping for a hat-trick when Nayim was brought down in the box and although he hit the 50th minute spot-kick well, the keeper saved it and that allowed an 82nd minute goal from Mike Flanagan to settle the match in Charlton's favour as he made it 4-3.

17.01.1989 As part of Glenn Hoddle's move to Monaco, Tottenham played a mid-season friendly on a cold Saturday afternoon.  It was two and a half year's after he departed and could not take part in the game, as he was injured, but Tottenham's only glimmer of light on a dank evening was when John Moncur converted a penalty following a foul on Nayim.

Goals from Youssouf Fofana, Mark Hateley and Jean-Marc Ferratge secured a 3-1 win for Arsene Wenger's team.

19.08.1986 Spurs met PSV Eindhoven in the Trofeo Juan Gamper tournament at the Nou Camp stadium on a Tuesday evening in Barcelona.

Striker Mark Falco gave Tottenham a 35th minute lead when he headed home Mitchell Thomas' cross past Hans van Breukelen, but an own goal by Paul Miller just before the half-time whistle saw Gerard Vanenburg's cross provide the equaliser.

With no score in the second half, the game had to be decided by penalties and the Dutch side won 4-3 with goals from Ronald Koeman, Jurrie Koolhof, Frank Arnesen and Willy van der Kerkhof and a miss by Ruud Gullit, while Spurs scored from the spot with attempts from Chris Waddle, Richard Gough and Gary Stevens, with Glenn Hoddle and Paul Allen being unsuccessful.

02.08.1986 Former Spurs midfielder Graeme Souness brought his new look Glasgow Rangers side to White Hart Lane for Paul Miller's testimonial.

Around 8,000 Rangers fans made the trip south to London and Chris Woods and Avi Cohen watched from the stand before joining the Scottish side.   Nicky Walker put in an excellent display of goalkeeping.
Rangers opened the scoring with Davie Cooper crossing for Cammy Fraser to head home from close range early in the match.  The visitors had spent £2,000,000 on new players in pre-season 1986 and it needed the appearance of Spurs substitutes Glenn Hoddle, Gary Stevens and Chris Waddle to gain a second half equaliser through Clive Allen.

01.05.1986 Ossie Ardiles' Benefit match brought exotic opposition in the shape of Internazionale of Milan, but of more interest to the Spurs crowd was the appearance of Diego Maradona in a Tottenham shirt.

His attendance ensured a sell-out crowd that put the kick-off back to allow everyone in and the game featured a feast of skill with Maradona and Hoddle linking up like they had played together all their lives.

Mark Falco gave Tottenham an early lead and Liam Brady equalised for Inter, but Clive Allen hit a late winner for Spurs, for whom Ardiles could only play a few minutes, being restricted by his knee injury.

06.04.1986 There was a small turn-out as 12,665 fans were inside Ibrox to see Jock Wallace’s Glasgow Rangers beaten 2-0 by Spurs in this end of season friendly.

Centre forward Derek Ferguson had an early header cleared off the line by Danny Thomas and Iain Ferguson fired in a shot that was deflected wide of the post.
However, after starting the match brightly, what followed was a poor game in which John Chiedozie scored the opener following a Peter McCloy mistake and the second scored at the back post by Paul Allen.

04.08.1984 Spurs made the short trip to Enfield Town for a pre-season friendly at Southbury Road, taking a surprise trialist in Argentinian World Cup winner Mario Kempes who played in a 7-0 win for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham scored through Garth Crooks (4), Gary Stevens, Micky Hazard and Garry Brooke, while Kempes was content to stay on the periphery of the game, which may have cost him his chance of a deal with Tottenham.
