Dominguez' pass to Stephen Clemence in the 19th minute saw the
midfielder finish confidently to put Spurs into the driving seat in this
FA Cup 3rd round at WHL.
Thirteen minutes later, a corner was cleared and Ramon Vega went wide to put in a low ball that Colin Calderwood deflected over the line from point blank range to make it 2-0 in the 28thh minute. Fulham almost got a goal back in the 35th minute, when John Trollope's free-kick smacked against the woodwork, but their goal did come in the 53rd minute, as former Spur Neil Smith broke from midfield and volleyed in a cross from close range. However, just eight minutes later, debutant Garry Brady headed a Dominguez cross against the post and it bounced in off goalkeeper Maik Taylor's head. Spurs almost added a fourth goal on a number of occasions with Klinsmann having three shots narrowly miss and substitute Paul Mahorn was denied by Taylor after a quick free-kick in the 83rd minute.

| 11.01.1984 | Two goals
from Graham Roberts and Steve Archibald saw Spurs through to this tricky
FA Cup Fourth round replay.
Roberts met Hoddle's free-kick with his head after 35 minutes to put Spurs ahead, then Archibald hit the back of the net after Mark Falco had set him up nicely six minutes later.

| 07.01.1984 | It was a
chilly Saturday afternoon that Spurs travelled to Craven Cottage for a
3rd round FA Cup tie with Second Division Fulham. There was little to cheer until Ray Clemence
had to leave the field in the 28th minute and Graham Roberts took over in goal. He
went full length to save a free-kick and came out of the match muddied
from numerous saves he made, as Fulham tied to press home their
advantage, but with a clean sheet intact !!

| 04.02.1978 | This
Division One match with Fulham saw Spurs take a point back to North
London.
Tottenham took the lead after 10 minutes of the game with Peter Taylor converting John Duncan's cross, after good work by Neil McNab. Taylor had a chance to double the lead in the 33rd minute, when he dispossessed new signing Richard Money, rounded Gerry Peyton in goal and as he was poised to shoot, he lost control of the ball in the mud. Fulham came into the game more and chances for former Spur John Margerrison and John Mitchell went begging, but the home side hit back with Brian Greenaway equalising in the dying minutes at the near post, after Tony Mahoney had headed on John Evanson's cross.

A single Chris Jones goal settled this derby meeting in the Second Division, which was supposed to feature George Best in the visitors' line-up, but he was missing from the starting XI. Fulham were denied a goal when John Mitchell converted Teddy Maybank's cross, but the referee pulled play back for a foul on Holmes by Maybank. Spurs had to wait until late in the game for Terry Naylor, Peter Taylor and John Duncan to create a shooting opportunity for Jones to break Fulham's resistance with a volley just fifteen minutes left.

1967, Spurs visited Craven Cottage and found Fulham struggling and
sliding towards relegation at the end of the season.
The return Christmas fixture saw
Spurs travel to Craven Cottage looking for something more than the point
they had dropped at White Hart Lane. The match was Frank Saul's last in Tottenham colours and with Spurs having been frustrated by bad weather preventing them playing for three weeks, it was vital to get back on track. It was the home sides striker Les Barrett who put the Cottagers ahead following good set-up work by Allan Clarke, who allowed his fellow forward to score from a narrow angle. Spurs were back on level terms in 38 minutes, when Cliff Jones rose above Tony Macedo and Jim Conway to head home the equaliser from Dennis Bond's ball in. With Fulham losing Haynes at the break as he was suffering from flu, his replacement Bobby Moss failed to trouble the Spurs defence as the England man might have. Bond was once more the creator, pulling a low cross back to Jimmy Robertson to strike home from 25 yards. With 12 minutes still left, Spurs kept Macedo busy with Robertson and Saul both bringing out the best in the goalkeeper. Teams : |

| 26.12.1967 | A double
from winger Cliff Jones helped Spurs to a 2-2 draw against Fulham on
this Boxing Day First Division meeting at White Hart Lane. Former Spurs man Vic Buckingham was manager of Fulham when they visited White Hart Lane on Boxing Day 1967 and they faced a Spurs side without Jimmy Greaves' three stitches in a head wound, picked up in a clash with Ronnie Boyce three days before, ruled him out of the game and Alan Gilzean came in to replace him. The pitch was mostly muddy, but Jimmy Robertson had the benefit of a dry run on his wing in front of the West Stand, drawing a Fulham foul and from the free-kick, Dave Mackay picked out Cliff Jones to score in the 16th minute. Robertson provided the ball into Jones to notch a second seven minutes later. Joe Gilroy netted from a Johnny Haynes cross to make it 2-1 and shortly after the interval, Haynes created another goal, this time for Mark Pearson to score his first of the season to earn a 2-2 draw. Teams : |
| 11.02.1967 | Spurs won
4-2 this match against Fulham with goals by Cliff Jones, who scored
twice, Greaves and Gilzean, with Johnny Haynes and Allan Clarke scoring
for the Cottagers, but the big talking point was the dismissal
of Terry Venables.
Venables was up against his old mate Fred Callaghan, playing for Fulham. The referee was very fussy, and when they thought they'd have a joke by pretending to have a fake fight with each other, the official sent them both off. The players appealed to him, but he stuck by his decision and manager Bill Nicholson was furious with Venables. Teams : |
| 19.02.1966 | Spurs took
a three goal lead very early in the game thanks to two goals from Cliff
Jones and Frank Saul. However, half an hour into the match, it was
all square and Jones completed his hat-trick before half-time. It
was an eventful game for the Welsh winger, who also bumped into the
goalpost and broke some of his teeth in the process. Teams : |
| 04.09.1965 | A goal in
each half from Eddie Clayton and Dave Mackay earned Tottenham a 2-0 win
at Craven Cottage.
Frank Saul set up Alan Gilzean, who could only shoot wide, then Jimmy Greaves was denied when Tony Macedo blocked his effort, who did the same again when Greaves tried to finish off a long dribble. When Fulham attacked, Rodney Marsh brought a diving save from Bill Brown to keep the ball out. It was in the 34th minute when Tottenham took the lead, when Gilzean played the ball into the penalty area where Saul and Macedo collided and Eddie Clayton was left with the simple task of curling the ball into the net just inside the left hand post from 10 yards out. The Cottagers tried to grab an equaliser, but Brown once more saved from Marsh and then Alan Mullery blocked a shot by John Key on the goal-line. Derek Possee had a shot that was headed off the line by Bobby Robson and it was Dave Mackay who secured the win, when he drove home from 25 yards out with 64 minutes gone. Teams : |
| 28.03.1964 | Two fine players scored in this
Easter Saturday match at Craven Cottage, with Jimmy Greaves giving
Tottenham a first half lead before Johnny Haynes struck for Fulham after
the half-time interval.

A comical goal gave Spurs a point and left Fulham
goalkeeper Tony Macedo red-faced, as his error deprived Fulham of a
First Division win
at White Hart Lane. The visitors lead with a goal from Graham Leggat in this Easter Saturday meeting, but in the 74th minute, Macedo tauntingly offered the ball to Greaves in his extended hand, but the ball slipped from his grasp and dropped at Greavsie's feet. He made no mistake from close range and secured a draw with the embarrassing 74th minute goal for the Cottagers' goalie. Teams : |

Tottenham travelled to Craven Cottage and returned
home with a 2-0 win. Despite the first half ending without any scoring, Bill Brown had been called on to make some good saves. Soon after the second half started, Jimmy Greaves saw a header come back off the crossbar. The home side were reduced to ten men on 70 minutes, when Alan Mullery left the field with a shoulder injury, but Spurs could not break through the Fulham defence until seven minutes from time, with Cliff Jones scoring. Within a minute, Dave Mackay had made it 2-0. Teams : |

Tottenham hosted Fulham
in this Armistice Day meeting, with John White playing a key role in the
home win. The little Scotsman headed Tottenham into the lead and then netted a second goal direct from a corner. However, the Cottagers fought back with goals from Graham Leggat and Johnny Haynes to level the scores, but it was a Cliff Jones header from a corner just before half-time that saw the teams turn around with Spurs ahead. Into the second half, White was involved again, when he put a far post cross onto Dave Mackay's head. The Spurs midfielder rose above England full back George Cohen and powered his header past Tony Macedo to 4-2 Tottenham victory despite Fulham's Alan Mullery twice hitting the woodwork. Teams : |
| 25.03.1961 | With just
nine matches to play, Spurs were stuttering in their charge for the
title. They made hard work of this match at Craven Cottage in
front of 38,536, but it was a closely fought match - the highlight being
a Cook shot that knocked the helmet off a policeman. The point
from this draw meant Spurs had gained only six points from their last
seven games and Sheffield Wednesday were now close behind in second
place.

Spurs rampaged through

Both clubs sat in the top five of the First
Division when they met at Craven Cottage. Fulham had recently been promoted and were missing Maurice Cook, while Spurs had the nucleus of the side that would go on to such great success the following season. Spurs took the lead from the penalty spot, when Derek Lampe had been guilty of a foul and Cliff Jones put the fifth minute spot-kick away. Johnny Haynes picked out a fine pass to put Jimmy Hill through to equalise after a quarter of an hour and with Fulham forcing the game, a Hill shot deflected off Dave Mackay's head, leaving Bill Brown grasping for the ball, but a hand diverted the shot over the bar, with many believing it was full-back Peter Baker who had done so. The referee and linesmen must have been poorly positioned, as only a corner was awarded. Teams : |

This Second Division
meeting saw two of the contenders for the title clash and play out an
entertaining draw in front of a big crowd. Two goals for the home side from Bill Richards and Bonzo Newton put them in the driving seat with just 25 minutes gone and Newton's penalty knocked Spurs keeper Joe Nicholls flat, but it prevented the Cottagers going further ahead. Tottenham hit back in the second half with two goals from George Hunt, although the fight-back was soured by an injury to George Greenfield which eventually ended his career. Teams : |
