26.10.1994	A humiliating defeat by Notts County in the League Cup at Meadow Lane was the final straw for Chairman Alan Sugar, who sacked Ossie Ardiles a day later. 3-0 was perhaps not too flattering for Russell Slade's side, although Tottenham contributed to their own downfall with errors and lack of self-control. Spurs were always trying to catch up after County scored twice in two minutes. Tony Agana cut inside past his marker to shoot across Thorstevdt into the opposite corner in the 17th minute and then Gary McSwegan doubled the lead with a header. Things got worse for Spurs when Ilie Dumitrescu received his second yellow card in the 38th minute and although Tottenham tried to get back into the match, the home team made their extra man pay when McSwegan got his second and Notts. County's third with Agana being the creator. Notts County : - Reece, Mills, Yates, Johnson (Murphy 65), R. Walker, Turner, Devlin, Butler, Legg, Agana, McSwegan (Matthews 80). Unused sub. : - Cherry.

10.03.1991	Don O'Riordan's goal for Notts. County in the FA Cup Sixth Round was not enough, as Paul Gascoigne inspired Tottenham to a semi-final place at Wembley. Dean Thomas had gone close with a long range shot that bounced just in front of Erik Thorstvedt and hit the outside of the post and later Kevin Bartlett got his shot past the keeper, but Gary Mabbutt was in place to head the ball off the line. Bartlett went over in the box, but the ref only awarded a corner, but from it, the ball fell into the path of Don O'Riordan, who handed the Magpies the lead with a fierce drive through Paul Allen's legs that beat Thorstvedt all ends up four minutes before half-time. A short corner played to Nayim and his shot flicked off Craig Short's standing leg and went in off the post to make it 1-1 six minutes after the break. Steve Cherry in the County goal had to be alert to make two sharp saves, one from a deflection off the boot of Dean Thomas. Gascoigne had been involved with an incident with Paul Harding which saw him elbow the County man in the face, but he stayed on the pitch and scored what was to be the winner with just seven minutes remaining, when he finished a move that incorporated a couple of one-twos on the edge of the box to curl the ball past Cherry with his left foot from twelve yards to win the tie. Tottenham had struggled against a stubborn County side from the Second Division, knowing it was important for the club's financial security to win this tie.

11.10.1988	Spurs earned a League Cup Second Round Second Leg 2-1 win to go through against a Notts County, who belied their lowly league position, 3-2 on aggregate. After a goal-less first half, Tottenham took the lead with a 61st minute with Terry Fenwick converting a penalty awarded after Nicky Law had handled the ball on the goal-line.

27.09.1988	Spurs visited Third Division Notts. County in this League Cup Second Round First leg tie. County had dropped Gary Lund and Don O'Riordan for the experienced Geoff Pike and Garry Birtles to come in. A low Mills cross from the right wing found Pike running into the six yard box, but the former West Ham midfielder fell over the ball. When Spurs hit back, Paul Walsh set Waddle away through the middle and he shot from 20 yards out, but Leonard dived left to save. A second half County corner was poorly cleared and Birtles hit a volley from the left of the goal into the ground and it bounced over Mimms to give County the lead. Mimms had to dive to his left to keep out Pike's diving header, but Tottenham went straight up the other end and Waddle on the left played it into Paul Allen on the edge of the D. He spotted Samways to his right and played the ball for him to sweep the ball first time beyond Leonard to equalise. Spurs survived a late Mills free-kick that curled onto the bar, but the First Leg of this League Cup tie ended all square. Teams : Notts County - Mick Leonard, Willie McStay, Chris Withe, David Kevan, Dean Yates, Nicky Law, Gary Mills, Ian McPartland, Garry Birtles (Tommy Johnson 70), Geoff Pike, Adrian Thorpe.
