05.01.1998 Jose 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 !!

02.12.1981 League Cup 4th Round.
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.

Fulham -   Peyton, R. Evans, Gale, Money, Evanson, Mahoney, Margerrison, Mitchell, Greenaway

10.09.1977

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.

30.12.1967 In December 1967, Spurs visited Craven Cottage and found Fulham struggling and sliding towards relegation at the end of the season. 

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.

The points went Tottenham's way with goals from Jimmy Robertson and Cliff Jones, while responded for Fulham.

11.02.1967 Spurs won 4-2 this match against Fulham with goals by Cliff Jones, who scored twice, Greaves and Gilzean, 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.

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.
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 knocking the ball into the net 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 lien by Bobby Robson and it was Dave Mackay who secured the win, when he drove home from 20 yards out with 64 minutes gone.

11.11.1961 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.

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 they had gained only six points from their last seven games and Sheffield Wednesday were now close behind in second place.

Fulham - Macedo, Cohen, Langley, Mullery, Dodgin, Lowe, Leggat, O'Connell, Cook, Haynes, Johnson

Cliff Jones and Les Allen both scored two goals and John White added another to see Spurs through to a 5-1 win.

12.12.1959 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, 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.

29.08.1951 Nine days after the first meeting of the season, the two teams faced each other at Craven Cottage, where 33,920 watched saw Rob Thomas give Fulham the lead.  However, Spurs denied the home side their first points of the season with goals by Les Bennett and Syd McClellan.

10.12.1932 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.
