A shock FA Cup win for Port Vale shocked multi-talented Tottenham at Vale Park in this Fourth Round meeting.

On a heavy pitch, Port Vale tore into Spurs and Ray Walker and Phil Sproson put the Valiants 2-0 ahead within 25 minutes.  Even though Neil Ruddock pulled a goal back for Spurs in the 65th minute, Terry Venables' team never looked like overcoming the determined Port Vale side, who sat seventh bottom from the old Division Three.

29.01.1955 A Fourth Round FA Cup tie saw both teams take to the White Hart Lane pitch in striped shirts.  Tottenham wore blue and white stripes, while Vale sported red and white stripes.

Tottenham took a quick 2-0 lead as Alf Ramsey and Eddie Baily carved out a chance for Johnny Brooks to hit a 20 shot that swerved in on five minutes, before Brooks netted the second ten minutes later when keeper Ray King palmed out Len Duquemin's shot in front of goal.

Port Vale brought the score back to 2-1 when Ken Griffiths got a 23rd minute goal, but the two goal gap was restored when Duquemin netted just before the half-time whistle.

Griffiths got his second of the game ten minutes after the break, but Johnny Gavin put Tottenham through when he headed a fourth goal towards the end of the game.
