Premiership defeat by Leeds proved to be Gerry Francis' last home match
in charge of the team.
Early pressure by the visitors paid off with efforts by Hopkin and Rod Wallace going close, before David Robertson played in Wallace to hit a 19th minute goal that decided this game. Walker was also called upon to save from Bruno Ribeiro, Kewell and Wallace once again. Spurs forced Nigel Martyn into action with attempts from Fox and Dominguez, with a fine 32nd minute drive tipped over from Sinton, while Wallace went close again two minutes later. Into the second half, Ginola with a number of shots, a Campbell header and sub. Iversen all went close, but Tottenham could not break through the visitors' defence and Ribeiro went close to adding to their lead with Walker having to make a good stop to prevent it being 2-0. Teams : |
| 15.03.1997 | Darren
Anderton's 25th minute goal settled this Premier League game at White
Hart Lane.
Iversen drew a stunning reflex save from Martyn within 30 seconds of the start, then Halle cleared a Sheringham effort off the line, while Iversen put a header just wide of the goal. When John Scales sent in a deep cross, Sheringham headed back into Anderton's path to strike the ball past Martyn in the Leeds goal. The rest of the game saw Tottenham create a string of chances, but Leeds held out to keep the score at 1-0. Teams : |
| 14.12.1996 | Spurs were
the better of the two sides in this Premier League clash and hit the
woodwork twice through a 38th minute Fox header and another header by
Howells from a 54th minute corner hit the bar. Nigel Martyn was busy keeping
out efforts from Sheringham and Nielsen, with Walker doing well to deal
with on-target efforts from Rod Wallace and Gary Kelly. Near the
end of the game, Fox was brought down by Leeds debutant Gunnar Halle in
what looked to be a blatant penalty, but no spot-kick was awarded by the
ref.
Teams : |
| 15.10.1995 | Leeds
United had to come from behind to gain a Premier League point against
Spurs at Elland Road. Teddy Sheringham was set up by Ilie Dumitrescu, who took the ball on the rebound from John Lukic when he saved the Romanian's initial shot and his fellow forward slotted the ball into the net in the 27th minute. Spurs man of the match Ian Walker prevented Leeds pulling level with fine stops from Brian Deane on two occasions and a header from Gary Speed, but Deane was the one who managed to beat the Spurs keeper with 62 minutes gone with a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

was a fair result in this close fought game at White Hart Lane.
Brian Deane's close range header put Leeds ahead in the 52nd minute, following a Rod Wallace cross that pin-balled around the penalty area and the ball twice hit the woodwork before being netted. Spurs lost Barmby with an ankle injury but the side pressed forward, causing Leeds some anxious moments with Edinburgh and Samways going close. The equaliser finally came with ten minutes left as Darren Anderton's low free-kick beat Mark Beeney at the near post. Spurs looked the likelier to win the game and Beeney did well to hold on to Samways fierce strike in the 86th minute. Teams : |

placed Spurs eased to a big win over 14th placed Leeds United at White
Hart Lane in the Premier League. Eight minutes in and Teddy Sheringham had given Spurs the lead, heading in Darren Anderton's right wing cross at the far post, with the striker grabbing his second goal with 37 minutes of the match gone. It was another header, but this time from the edge of the box, looped over John Lukic after a Neil Ruddock ball played from inside the Tottenham half. Spurs started the second half in the same vein and three minutes had elapsed before Neil Ruddock powered home a third Tottenham goal, rising highest to head home Anderton's free-kick from the right, leaving Sheringham to wrap up the Spurs goals and his hat-trick with a penalty in the 67th minute, awarded when Barmby's run into the left side of the penalty area was halted by a David Rocastle foul. Teams : |
| 25.08.1992 | Eric
Cantona hit the Premier League's first hat-trick as Leeds romped home
against a Spurs side who succumbed far too easily.
Erik Thorstvedt's difficulty with the new back-pass rule saw him get tackled by Rod Wallace, who netted the opener after 20 minutes. Seven minutes later Cantona volleyed home a clearing header from Edinburgh and on 31 minutes, he was left alone to plant a header past Erik's dive. It took only a couple of minutes after the break to wrap up his triple and then later on set up Lee Chapman for the fifth goal to complete Tottenham's humiliation. Teams : |

Teams : |
| 23.01.1982 | Spurs made
hard work of seeing off a determined Leeds side, but won out with a
second half goal from Garth Crooks. Ray Clemence kept Frank Gray's 41st minute free kick out with a good save, while Hoddle made openings for Crooks, Galvin, Falco and Villa, but they were all spurned and it was only when Micky Hazard was introduced as a second half substitute that Spurs perked up. The young midfielder took a ball from Villa and crossed from the left to the head of Tony Galvin, who set it up for Crooks to swivel and hit a left foot shot past Leeds keeper Lukic , despite him getting a touch on it.

outcome of this First Division encounter.
Teams : |
| 07.02.1981 | A 1-1 draw
with Leeds ended a Tottenham five match winning run, despite Spurs
keeping John Lukic busy in the visiting goal. Hoddle hit a fine
free-kick and Archibald almost got on the end of strike partner Garth
Crooks' cross, but he did make contact on the half hour, when his shot
flew past Lukic. Both Hoddle and Lacy went close to extending the
lead before the break.
A McAllister header and a Perryman shot kept the pressure on Leeds, but when they broke shortly after the break, Carl Harris's free-kick unexpectedly brought Leeds level. With the visitors looking for a winner, they pushed forward, but both Spurs strikers hit efforts high to leave Tottenham settling for the single point. Teams : |

game. Teams : |
| 20.10.1979 | Against all
odds, Spurs came away from Elland Road with a victory. With Paul Miller
dismissed in the 27th minute and Barry Daines going off with an injury -
Glenn Hoddle taking his place in goal - Spurs were up against it.
Goals from Gerry Armstrong and Chris Jones earned Tottenham the points even though Ray Hankin was on the score-sheet for the Whites. Teams : |
| 20.01.1979 | Spurs left
White Hart Lane with a 1-2 defeat in this Division One match, where
Glenn Hoddle scored for Tottenham and goals from Paul Hart and Ray
Hankin took the points for the visitors.
. Teams : |
| 16.09.1978 | A first
away win of the season for Spurs was achieved thanks to goals by Colin
Lee and Peter Taylor. Arthur Graham scored a home goal, but it was
not enough to stop Spurs taking both points from this First Division
match. Teams : |
| 19.02.1977 | Struggling Spurs lost out to an
average Leeds side to keep them one place off the bottom of the First
Division. Leeds took the lead through Joe Jordan before youngster Gerry Armstrong pulled Tottenham level. Keith Burkinshaw had taken the step of leaving Peter Taylor out of the side in a gamble to improve results, but when Allan Clarke scored the winner from the penalty spot, it left Spurs without anything to take back to London other than a good performance by Armstrong. Teams : |
| 11.09.1976 | Spurs edged
the two points against Leeds United with a single goal victory at White
Hart Lane. . Teams : |
| 10.04.1976 | Spurs were
denied a sixth successive League win by a Leeds United side who held
them to a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane. Goalkeeper David Harvey was the main obstacle in the way, making a number of stops to deny Tottenham. Towards the end of the match, a short free-kick set up Keith Osgood for a shot at goal, but the ball fizzed just wide of the target at the Paxton Road end. Teams : |
| 20.09.1975 | Leeds
United were pegged back by Spurs, who took a point from their First
Division visit to Elland Road. Peter Lorimer had scored an early goal to give the home side the lead, but in the 61st minute, John Pratt ran onto a John Duncan's cross, converting it with a header that levelled the score to earn Spurs a valuable point. Teams : |
| 28.04.1975 | A game that
pitched Leeds United, a week ahead of their European Cup Final, against
Spurs, who needed to win to secure their First Division status produced
a night to remember at White Hart Lane. Scorers : - Knowles 2 (1p); Conn; Chivers Lorimer, Jordan . Teams : |
| 04.12.1974 | Spurs lost out 1-2 on this First
Division visit to Elland Road. Duncan Mackenzie opened the scoring for Leeds at Elland Road and a penalty for Peter Lorimer in the second half, earned Leeds a win despite a late John Duncan goal pulled one back for Spurs, with the Scottish striker beating Paul Madeley to the ball and steered a right foot shot across the keeper and in. Teams : |
| 01.01.1974 | A New
Year's Day First Division match with Leeds United ended all
square at Elland Road. Table-topping Leeds took the lead in the 21st minute
through Mick Jones and it took until late in the second half for Spurs
to get an equaliser with Chris McGrath scoring
in the 75th minute. Terry Naylor injured his back in the match. Teams : |
| 01.09.1973 | A Leeds
United side, in an all yellow strip, took Tottenham apart in a 3-0 win that was
breath-taking at times.
Alan Gilzean had passed a late fitness test and Mike Dillon continued to deputise for the injured Mike England, while Leeds had Bremner fit after sustaining a gashed shin, while Paul Reaney (ankle) and Allan Clarke (knee) were also declared fit to start. In just the fourth minute, Billy Bremner, on the edge of the six yard box, headed Leeds ahead from a Lorimer free-kick with neither Ray Evans nor Martin Peters picking up the Leeds midfielder at the near post. Ten minutes later the same combination doubled the lead with Bremner's curled shot going in off the post. Allan Clarke got the third in the 28th minute, finishing at the far post, after Bremner and Lorimer had created a ball in that Mick Jones missed, but his strike partner didn't. It was the a result that propelled Leeds on to the League title that season. The closest Spurs came to a goal was when Paul Reaney cleared Mike Dillon's header off the line just after Leeds had opened the scoring and the same happened just before half-time. Dillon crossed for Gilzean to head at goal from close range, but his glancing effort went wide, then Ralph Coates forced Harvey to a save with a shot in the second half and the Leeds keeper produced a good diving effort to stop Peters' downward header. Teams : |
| 06.01.1973 | Spurs conceded two first half goals
to Leeds United at Elland Road from which they could not recover. Mick Jones' goal and a penalty from Peter Lorimer gave the home side a 2-0 lead and although Alan Gilzean scored from Cyril Knowles' cross with a 73rd minute header, Tottenham could not salvage a point from the match. Teams : |
| 26.08.1972 | Both teams
took to the field in determined mood, but, in a game with little rhythm,
neither side could force a goal.
Ralph Coates got a bang on the nose and carried on in a shirt red with blood until replaced by Jimmy Pearce. Teams : |
| 18.03.1972 | Leeds put Tottenham under heavy
pressure in the early stages of the FA Cup Sixth Round tie at Elland
Road, with the Spurs goal being peppered by shots, but they were not all
on target and the team lead a charmed life. Spurs worked their way back into the game and a move that flowed through Martin Peters, John Pratt and Ray Evans ended with a cross for Martin Chivers, whose downward header was saved by Gary Sprake. Then a few minutes before half time, John Pratt curled in a ball that confused the Leeds defence and despite Norman Hunter's desperate attempts to clear the ball, it entered the net to give Spurs the lead. However, the lead did not survive until the break, with Leeds equalising three minutes after the Spurs goal, with Allan Clarke netting. Soon after the break, a header by Jack Charlton put Leeds into the lead and they held on to it until the end, nearly extending it on a number of occasions, with Pat Jennings performing very well to keep the home side out. Teams : Leeds : - Gary Sprake, Terry Cooper (Paul Reaney), Billy Bremner, Paul Madeley, Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter, Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles, Peter Lorimer, Mick Jones, Allan Clarke Spurs : - Jennings, Evans, Knowles, Pratt, England, Beal, Gilzean, Perryman, Chivers, Peters (Coates), Morgan. Crowd : - 43,937 Referee : - - (-) |
| 29.01.1972 | A single second half Martin Chivers goal was
enough to settle the visit of top of the table Leeds United to White Hart Lane.
Programme line-ups |
| 25.08.1971 | Due to crowd trouble by Leeds United
fans the previous season, they were forced to play this First Division
match with Spurs at
Boothferry Park - the home of Hull City FC - as the FA closed their
ground to home matches and the teams played out a 1-1 draw. The Spurs goal came from Alan Gilzean. Teams : |
| 09.01.1971 | A Martin
Chivers double gave Spurs both points at Elland Road in this First
Division match.
Spurs had a first minute injury to Jimmy Neighbour who sprained his ankle and this hampered their play, but Chivers' first goal came early in the match as he ran through the centre of the Leeds defence and hit a shot low at Gary Sprake's feet, beating him low down from the left of the box. Leeds pulled level 15 minutes later, with Alan Clarke sticking away the opportunity. Both Gilzean and Chivers worked hard to defend from the front and kept the Leeds defence on their toes, thus Sprake was called upon to perform heroics to keep out efforts from Gilzean and Peters before he was beaten again by Chivers for the winner.

Teams : |
| 14.02.1970 | An own goal
from Terry Cooper from a Dennis Bond free-kick just before the half-time

this meeting with Leeds at White Hart Lane. Leeds pulled level
seven minutes after the break when Peter Lorimer scored with a powerful
20 yard right foot shot. Teams : |

| 20.08.1966 | Mike England's debut was
marked by a famous tussle between Dave Mackay and Billy Bremner that saw
ref Norman Burtenshaw have to remove the Spurs midfielder's grasp on
Bremner's shirt.
The match itself saw a 13th minute goal for Johnny Giles, with a shot off the left hand post at the Paxton Road end set up by Bobby Collins, give Leeds the ideal start to their season. However, Tottenham equalised when Mullery hit home Gilzean's cross from the edge of the box. Gilly headed home very early in the second half to give Spurs the lead, which was added to by Greaves, who beat three players, streaking away down the middle, to finish well to round off the scoring at 3-1.

| 27.02.1965 | A goal-less
draw at White Hart Lane between Spurs and Leeds United did little to
whet the appetite of the fans who saw it, but both sides had their
chances. Jimmy Greaves hit the post with a header and Eddie Clayton's low shot was saved by Gary Sprake, while Greaves lobbed a good chance over the bar with the goal gaping. United's chances went unconverted and the sides had to settle for a point each, with Spurs reduced to ten men when Frank Saul had to leave the game with an injury. Teams : |
| 17.10.1964 | Rod Belfitt gave newly promoted Leeds the lead in the first minute and
the home team went on to win 3-1
at Elland Road. Greaves equalised, but Willie Bell's penalty gave the home side the lead by the interval and then early in the second half, Johnny Giles scored Leeds' third goal, from which there was no coming back from. Teams : |

after the Elland Road meeting, it was Leeds who were the away winners,
taking the points at the Lane with a 4-1 victory. United had taken the lead through George Meek, but before half-time, Dave Mackay equalised. An error from Maurice Norman, who mis-kicked and let John McCole through to restore Leeds' lead shocked Spurs fans and to make matters worse, Bobby Cameron glanced home a third goal for the visitors. Spurs could have got back in the game, but Cliff Jones missed a penalty by hitting the post and that was punished by McCole, who netted his second and Leeds' fourth to take two points for the team that was to be relegated at the end of the season. Teams : |

clear the water from the pitch that resembled a lake.
Rain had flooded the pitch for this Wednesday
afternoon match, with the water being swept off the pitch, forcing fans
back to drier parts of the terraces. Ronnie Burgess said it was the
worst pitch he had ever played on, as there was little grass on show,
just mud. The game was little more than a matter of dodging the puddles and trying to free the ball from them, but the rain eased off after half-time and Spurs won courtesy of a 37th minute Les Bennett goal, hitting a low cross shot from Len Duquemin's pass that saw the ball get stuck in the mud on the edge of the penalty area. At half-time both teams changed their kit as it was soaked through and muddy, but Leeds came close to taking the tie to a second replay, when John Charles netted, only for it to be ruled out for offside Teams : |
