Two Ryan Giggs goals gave
Manchester United the win in this Premier League meeting.
Baardsen was in early action to stop
Andy Cole from scoring, while the defence worked hard to deny United any
chances. Two minutes before the break, Giggs hit a shot past our
Norwegian keeper two minutes before the interval, after our keeper
spilled Beckham's cross and then headed a second in the 67th minute to seal the
win.
Baardsen did well to keep Sheringham's
effort out and Spurs did not give up, with Klinsmann shooting just wide and
debutant Nicola Berti hitting a shot just too high, but it was not
enough to beat United.

Man U - G. Neville, Johnsen, Pallister; Giggs, Beckham; Cole, Sheringham.

This was the first time
Tottenham had been allocated a home match to open a campaign since the Premier
League began and the game was played out in front of an empty North
Stand, which was being redeveloped.
Debutant Les Ferdinand forced
Schmeichel into two saves, while Ramon Vega had two close
attempts. Spurs had a penalty shout denied, when Paul Scholes
appeared to foul Vega in a match of few chances. Walker stopped
efforts from Sheringham and Cruyff, while Nielsen and Vega both missed
the target at the other end.
Allan Nielsen's 81st minute tackle on
Sheringham unfortunately took the ball straight into the path of Nicky
Butt, who fired past Walker. Tottenham's woe was compounded within
60 seconds, as Vega deflected David Beckham's cross into his own goal.
So, even though Spurs slipped to a 2-0 defeat,
the Spurs crowd had something to celebrate - the fact that a penalty awarded to United
for handball against Justin Edinburgh was taken by
recent defectee Teddy Sheringham and he could only hit it against the
post.

Spurs lost out 1-2 in this Premier
League against United, who took the lead through Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on
22 minutes. Rory Allen nodded in an unconventional equaliser from
a blocked shot a minute before the half-time interval. However, it
was a well constructed goal that won the game for United, with the ball
being laid back to David Beckham, who powered home his shot from 30
yards with fifteen minutes remaining.

Spurs opened up 1996 with a
convincing 4-1 Premier League win over Manchester United.
The two teams sat second (United) and third
(Spurs) and absences had robbed both sides of regular starters. An
injury to Peter Schmeichel in the pre-match warm-up saw him struggle
through the first half, but leave the action at the break and debutant
William Prunier failed to adjust to the pace of the Premiership as Spurs
tore into the Red Devils.
Spurs strikers Teddy Sheringham and Chris
Armstrong had both been denied by the woodwork before the latter set up
the former to fire home on 35 minutes. United hit straight back
though, with Phil Neville putting in a low ball for Andrew Cole to
convert. However, Tottenham went into the interval 2-1 up as Dean
Austin's cross was powered home by Sol Campbell's head.
With substitute keeper Kevin Pilkington on
between the sticks, Spurs continued to press forward and three minutes
after the restart Chris Armstrong got Tottenham's third. United
strove to get back into the game, but Ian Walker denied them with some
good stops and when he was beaten, Ronnie Rosenthal was on hand to clear
off the goal-line. It was left to Armstrong to round off the
scoring with a towering 66th minute header to complete United's misery.

United took the lead with
Mark Hughes scoring from what looked like an offside position in the
21st minute, but Spurs got back into it with a goal on 38 minutes from
Gordon Durie. Samways took a quick free-kick and played in Nayim,
who passed to Lineker. His shot was knocked down by Schmeichel and
Durie was on hand to put the ball into the net.
Paul Stewart's second yellow card
reduced Spurs to ten men, but Mabbutt flashed a header wide and Walker
made a fine save from Giggs when clean through. When Bryan Robson
headed a late winner from a free-kick ten minutes from the end, it was a
bitter pill to swallow when it had been such an even match.

BBC TV televised this game
and Tottenham ran out wearing the name of 'Holsten' on their shirts for
the first ever time. The one match deal was such a success that it
was quickly extended to 1986 and then beyond that date, so lucrative was
the partnership.
The match attracted a smaller than
expected attendance, leading to the home side claiming over £300,000
from the fund to compensate sides for people staying away to watch it at
home. They saw Arthur Graham give United a 12th minute lead,
but this was canceled out in the 53rd minute by Alan Brazil's overhead
kick. However, a minute later, Kevin Moran slid in a well worked
free-kick with Strachan being given the ball at the side of the wall and
crossing low to the far post.
Graham added a 74th minute header to
put Man U further ahead, but Ardiles played in Falco to hit a rising
shot straight after to get Spurs back in it. However, Moran's
second on 80 minutes wrapped up the victory for the home team.

Manchester United took the
points in this First Division meeting 2-0 at Old Trafford.
As Paul Price went in for a Arthur
Albiston cross, his challenge with Frank Stapleton was deemed to be
worthy of a penalty by the ref and the spot-kick was converted by Steve
Coppell. It was Albiston who was the supplier once more, when
Scott McGarvey headed in with three minutes remaining to seal the win.

Spurs earned a 3-1 win over
Manchester United at White Hart Lane in the First Division.
Spurs played towards the Paxton Road end in the
first half and a corner by Glenn Hoddle was headed on by Graham Roberts,
but defender Mike Duxbury nodded the ball up into the air. Roberts
went up for the ball again and it dropped to Mike Hazard, whose shot was
deflected on it's way past Paddy Roche in the United goal.
Another Hoddle corner this time found Roberts
unmarked and his header went down past the keeper to make it 2-0, but
before half time, Garry Birtles scored for United when a Ray Wilkins
free kick was swung in and headed back across goal for the striker to
hook a shot back across Clemence and into the net.
Spurs wrapped the game up in the second half when
a poor pass by United was intercepted by Steve Archibald on the edge of
the box and he buried the ball into the net with his left foot.

Spurs won at Old Trafford
against all the odds, when a very physical challenge by Joe Jordan on
Milija Aleksic left the Spurs goalie being carried off on a stretcher
with a broken jaw. With him seemed to go Tottenham's FA Cup hopes,
as midfield maestro Glenn Hoddle had to take over the gloves.
Spurs battled away and kept plugging
away, bravely taking the tie into extra time, with Hoddle withstanding
Jordan's aerial attentions. It was then that the
Argentinian pair of Ardiles and Villa linked up to produce a winner.
Ricky jinked into the penalty area, laid the ball back, almost
psychically knowing Ardiles would be there to sweep it into the net to
give Tottenham a highly unexpected 1-0 win.

A goal from Ossie Ardiles
gave Tottenham the lead in this FA Cup Sixth Round tie at White Hart
Lane, but Mickey Thomas pulled a goal back to take the tie to a replay.
Spurs applied most of the pressure in the first
half, with Chris Jones having a goal disallowed for a foul on Gary
Bailey when the United keeper dropped a high ball at his feet. Don
McAllister thundered a header against Bailey's bar and Glenn Hoddle
fired a 20 yard shot straight at the keeper. Spurs won a free-kick
on the right side of centre about 30 yards out and Perryman curled it
into the area, where Ossie Ardiles had ghosted in across a defender and
headed into the net, with Bailey having come out to try to take the
ball.
Sammy McIlroy was booked for taking out
Ardiles, as Spurs kept up their attacks, with Bailey scrambling to his
left to save when Hoddle volleyed back a headed clearance by Gordon
McQueen. Just before the half-time interval Spurs had a good shout
for a penalty when Martin Buchan slid in on Ardiles and did not appear
to take the ball, but the referee was not interested in the claims.
The second half saw United move forward more
and Steve Coppell had broken through the middle of the Spurs defence
early on but when he got six yards out, he fluffed his shot under
pressure from Terry Naylor. Jimmy Greenhoff shot narrowly wide
from the right before Mark Kendall reacted well to push Micky Thomas'
header wide. From the resulting corner, Thomas flicked the ball on
at the near post and it dropped for him, off McQueen's backside, to
force it in from close range for the equaliser.
United went looking for the winning goal and
Andy Ritchie hit the top of the bar with a header from Greenhoff's
cross. Spurs had another claim for a penalty when Jones was
bundled over by McQueen as he went for a header, but the refusal by the
ref got the Spurs forward for his protests.
Chances still came at each end, with Pratt
forcing Bailey to a low save with a 20 yard shot and Steve Perryman
almost let United in with a back-pass that was intercepted by Coppell.
He went around Kendall, but his ball into the goalmouth was cleared by
John Lacy at the near post. Substitute Peter Taylor broke through
on the right side of the box and hit a shot across goal, before Sammy
McIlroy had the last chance, breaking away down the United right,
cutting into the penalty area to turn inside Perryman and his shot
across the six yard box was kicked away from in front of goal by Naylor
to leave the two sides facing a replay in a few days time.

Without a league win in the
first three games of the season, it was a major surprise that Tottenham
won at Old Trafford.
Winger Steve Coppell had put United in
front after 16 minutes, with Stuart Pearson netting a second before
half-time. The second period was very different, as Spurs set
about United in a determined fashion. A goal from Ralph Coates,
which swung straight in from a 56th minute corner put Tottenham back in
it, while Ian Moores scored his first Spurs league goal after Naylor and
Neighbour set up the opening for him. With just ten minutes
remaining on the clock, a left-footed drive from substitute John Pratt
flew into the net for the winner to give Spurs all the points.

Spurs were facing a Man. U
side back in the top flight after returning from Division Two as
champions, but who had shot to the top of the table.
Gordon Hill had given the visitors the
lead, but Spurs pulled back a goal when John Duncan's low, angled shot
beat Alex Stepney all ends up. Try as they might, neither side
could break through again and settled for the draw.

Manchester United had been
in the bottom four for most of the season and Ralph Coates single goal
gave Tottenham a 1-0 win that plunged the home side to the bottom place.
The nervousness affected United and Spurs played a
freer game, with the goal coming early in the second half. Martin
Chivers' long throw deflected off a United defender and fell kindly to
Ralph Coates around the penalty spot to rifle low past the keeper with his
left foot.
United pressed towards the end, but John Pratt
and Chris McGrath has chances to score on the breakaway, but Spurs had to
settle for the one goal win.

Two fine goals for Spurs
won the day against Manchester United at the Lane.
Martin Chivers
showed a striker's instinct when he took the ball on the edge of the United
box and struck the ball low past Alex Stepney.

United back in the game, but he made amends for his error with a superb
curling free-kick around the wall to win the match for Spurs.

A dull First Division game
finished 1-1 with George Graham scoring early on for United and Martin
Chivers finally secured a point with a late breakthrough to equalise.
Chivers equalised by powering a low shot
from the edge of the box past Jimmy Rimmer, who had closed him down and
two defenders on the line at the Park Lane end.
Jimmy Pearce later went close with a header.

Spurs had a 2-0 win at
White Hart Lane in this First Division game against Manchester United to
make it a disappointing debut for Martin Buchan.
Roger Morgan went close with a shot after racing
onto a long ball into the left side of the box, while Ray Evans did well
to get in a block to a George Best shot after the United winger pulled
his left foot back just inside the box.
Tottenham had three good opportunities in the first half, with Morgan's
corner finding Alan Gilzean's head, but it went wide, before England had
a headed chance from a corner and Martin Chivers shot too high after
Gilzean had provided the opening.
However, Spurs scored twice in two minutes in the middle of the second
half to take both points. Steve Perryman emphatically hit the ball into
the United net for the first goal (67 minutes and 28 seconds) and almost straight away, Martin
Chivers fired home from a free-kick, giving Alex Stepney no chance (69
minutes and 09 seconds).
United pushed to get back in the game and put the Spurs goal under
pressure towards the end, but there were few clear chances for the
visitors. Bobby Charlton had a shot go wide, with Best twice testing Pat
Jennings and other chances saw Willie Morgan go close with a shot and
Charlton curl an effort just off target for United, who slipped to a 2-0
defeat.

Phil Beal on the line from George Best after he had chested the ball
down in the
15th minute and then went 0-2 down in the 23rd minute when Willie Morgan
netted from the penalty spot. Spurs got back in the game quickly,
when Peters drove home as Chivers jumped over the ball, deceiving Alex

Meeting for the third time
in ten days, United won for the first time in the series of games.
An early Spurs lead given to them by Martin Chivers

The gates were closed on many
waiting fans as Spurs met league champions Manchester United at the Lane.
Alan Gilzean and Neil
Johnson gave Spurs a 2-0 half-time lead, with Jimmy Greaves (58 minutes), Eddie Clayton
and Jimmy Robertson making it five before Bobby Charlton netted to get a
consolation for United.
Greaves goal came at the end of a great move.
Eleven passes were made (involving Alan Mullery, Alan Gilzean, Maurice
Norman, Dave Mackay and Eddie Clayton) before the ball came to Dave Mackay to hit a
pass through to Greaves. The striker spun away from the first
tackle, sprinted clear of two defenders and
as keeper Pat Dunne came out, he skipped around him and slid the ball into
an empty net.

European Cup Winner's
Cup - First Round Second Leg
With Dave Mackay suffering a broken leg after just eight minutes, Spurs
were reduced to ten men for the majority of the game, allowing United to
go on to win and go through to the next round of the European
Cup-Winners' Cup.
David Herd had scored for United a minute before Mackay left the action
and the same player made it 2-0, but ten minutes after the interval,
Jimmy Greaves scored to give Spurs the aggregate lead.
However, Charlton levelled the score in the tie in the 76th

because of fog on the night of the first game, a big crowd turned up for
the match between two of England's glamour sides. A cagey first
half finished 0-0, but from Cliff Jones' back-heel, Mackay drilled home
a shot to give Spurs the lead.
Bill Brown was on form
in goal to deny Man U on a number of occasions,
including turning a fierce drive from Denis Law over the bar, but the lead was doubled
when Terry Dyson was alert to seize on a short Dunne back-pass, sticking
the chance away for a valuable 2-0 lead just before the end of the

was played a a fast pace, but had to wait until five minutes before the
interval for the first goal, which went to Manchester United. Denis
Law was the scorer and Denis Herd adding a United second ten minutes into
the second half. Spurs got back into

into his own net by United goalie Harry Gregg to make it 2-1, but Law went

Lane.
15 minutes in, Greaves
pounced on Dave Mackay's half-saved shot to put Spurs one up, then a
hooked shot by Medwin made it 2-0 after 28 minutes. Blanchflower's
free-kick was finished by Medwin five minutes prior to the break and
five minutes the other side of half-time, Greaves slipped the ball past
Gregg after latching onto Baker's pass. Jimmy completed his
hat-trick on 78 minutes and only two late goals from David Herd and
Albert Quixall reduced the margin of victory. Although Manchester United were
more attack-minded in the second half, Cliff Jones' 72nd minute goal
Medwin made the final score 6-2.

Smith made it 2-0 before the interval, sliding in through the mud in the
six-yard box at the Park Lane end, but in the second period, Warren

Having lost many of their
staff in the Munich air disaster two months previous to this game, it
was an unfamiliar United side that took to the field.
The Reds were already in the FA Cup
Final, but the closely fought affair was won by a Tommy Harmer penalty -
the only goal of the game in the 43rd minute after a handball by Stan
Crowther.
The wind had a major effect as it was blowing
the length of the pitch, with Spurs having the first half advantage.
Cliff Jones, Jim Iley, Tommy Harmer and Bobby Smith all had efforts
saved, while in the second period, Manchester United had chances through
Bobby Charlton, Ernie Taylor and Colin Webster.

Losing
goalkeeper Ray Wood through illness was a blow for United and former
England Schoolboy keeper David Gaskell came in as a raw 17 year old.
It proved a change which Tottenham benefited from.
But the home side scored first, with Ted Ditchburn
beaten by a 16th minute goal from David Pegg, who cut in from the left
wing to rasp a drive past him. The lead was short-lived, as four
minutes later, Tottenham drew level with Bobby Smith beating Jackie
Blanchflower in the air and taking the rebound on to score past Gaskell.
Smith was to prove too hot for the Manchester United defence and when he
took John Ryden's 25th minute cross, he popped the ball over Roger
Byrne's head and hit a right-footed shot pat the young Red Devils
goalie.
Danny Blanchflower looked
to play in Smith once more, but his brother Jackie got to the ball
first, only to direct it into his own net, but Bobby got his hat-trick a
couple of minutes before the interval, when he headed George Robb's
cross powerfully past the keeper to make it 4-1 to Spurs at half-time.
As expected United came out for the second half
pumped up and Pegg got a second goal with 60 minutes gone and then a
67th minute goal from Liam Whelan brought the score to 4-3 after he
converted Eddie Colman's well-flighted free-kick. The match ended
with great excitement with Ditchburn keeping out two late Colin Webster
efforts at the death to preserve the win.

A midweek
game saw the Busby Babes take the points against Spurs at White Hart
lane with a 2-1 win.
Duncan Edwards cracked in both United goals at
the Park Lane end. His first was a left footed drive from the edge
of the penalty area on two minutes, with the second following on 41
minutes as he fired a pile-driver past Ted Ditchburn from 30 yards.
United had to struggle on with injured players Denis Violett and Charlie
Withers taking little part in the action, but Spurs could only manage a
late consolation as Harry Clarke rose to head home George Robb's corner
with two minutes to go, but it did prompt Ditchburn to take a throw-in
to try and produce a late equaliser.

A Tottenham team hit by injury and illness lost to Manchester United 1-2
at Old Trafford.
With Ron Burgess carrying an injury and influenza hitting Les Bennett,
Spurs travelled north with hope and with a early lead in the bag from
Eddie Baily, who converted a pass from Les Medley, it looked like a
surprise could be on the cards.
However, that hope didn't last long, with Brian Birch squaring things a
few minutes later.
Into the second half, Jack Rowley got in ahead of Alf Ramsey and Harry
Clarke to net United's second, beating Ted Ditchburn with his fierce

A
convincing win for Spurs saw them take the points in this First Division
match.
Tottenham had the lead when Jimmy Armstrong beat keeper Lance Richardson
after timing his run from the halfway line past the United defence to
perfection, with Spurs going further ahead when Taffy O'Callaghan scored
the second with a fierce shot before the half time whistle.
Tich Handley put in a cross after the break for
Jimmy Dimmock to make it 3-0 with a shot off Richardson's legs, before
Billy Chapman laid on an opportunity for Billy Johnson to pull a goal
back for United. However, Armstrong struck again with a 40 yard
shot that rattled the underside of the bar as it swerved and dipped to
deceive the keeper and hit the back of the net to
round off a 4-1 win for Tottenham.
Teams :
Spurs - Handley, J. Armstrong, O'Callaghan

The traditional return
fixture was played a couple of days later and with home advantage,
United took the points with goals from Frank McPherson. Handley
had given Tottenham a glimpse of hope with a header and things might
have been even better for Spurs had Tommy Clay not slipped his penalty
(given for a foul on Frank Osborne) past the post on the 17th minute.
What chances a penalty being given against United at Old Trafford now ??
Tottenham were denied a share of the
points after McPherson's second came just six minutes from the end of
the game.
