02.03.1985	With a goal against his former team, Garth Crooks gave Tottenham the points with the only goal of the game at the Victoria Ground. A back-pass to the Stoke keeper Barry Siddall saw him miss his kick, allowing Crooks to walk the ball into an empty net and he looked sheepish both at the nature of the goal and it being against his old club.

27.10.1984	In what turned out to be a relegation season for the Potteries side, Spurs ran out 4-0 winners in this First Division clash at White Hart Lane. Within 11 minutes, Tottenham had scored twice through Clive Allen and John Chiedozie and the sending off of afro-haired defender George Berry after he struck Mark Falco off the ball left Stoke a difficult task for the remainder of the game. They held out until the 75th minute, when Clive Allen added his second of the game and when emergency centre half Brendan O'Callaghan fouled Falco in the area, Graham Roberts stepped up to convert the spot-kick to make the final score 4-0.

29.12.1979	Two familiar faces on the Stoke City side could not prevent Tottenham running out 1-0 winners on Terry Gibson's debut at the Lane. Ray Evans had left Spurs to join the Potters and striker Garth Crooks who soon be making the move to London when he was snapped up by Keith Burkinshaw in 1980. Gibson was using his dogged physical presence to disturb the experienced City back line and he had a role in the goal, which was struck home by John Pratt to take the points in this First Division meeting.

29.10.1977	Spurs were faced with an early barrage from Stoke, but weathered the storm to take both points at the Victoria Ground. Spurs almost let a goal in right at the start of the match, but Barry Daines reacted well to keep out Stoke striker Garth Crooks on two occasions and David Gregory also. Against the run of play, Gerry Armstrong gave Spurs a 29th minute lead when he converted a flick on by John Pratt from Peter Taylor's corner. At the start of the second half, Terry Conroy wasted a good chance and Daines was again called upon to save from a swerving shot from Steve Waddington, which went for a corner. The Spurs goal was under siege for a few minutes, but following a save from Paul Richardson, Daines launched the ball up-field for Ian Moores to set up Armstrong to shoot Tottenham's second goal after 61 minutes. Crooks pulled one back for the home side with a neat header from Richardson's cross in the 73rd minute, but Glenn Hoddle delivered a corner onto John Pratt's head to score the third Spurs goal past keeper Roger Jones that put the game beyond Stoke's reach.

24.01.1976	This FA Cup Third Round replay took place on a Saturday because the original replay had to be postponed, when high winds damaged some of the roofing at the Victoria Ground and made the stands unsafe.

Spurs were ahead with goals from John Pratt and Alan Gilzean before Stoke hit back, with John Ritchie scoring to reduce the deficit, although Pratt added his second of the game to make it 3-1 at the interval. Ritchie hit the net again after half-time and then Ralph Coates put Spurs two ahead once more, before Alan Bloor made it a tense finish, but Tottenham held on for a 4-3 win.

24.10.1970	A twelfth Division One match unbeaten was secured by a 3-0 victory for fourth place Spurs over Stoke City at White Hart Lane. Two Martin Chivers goals and one from Alan Gilzean in the first half wrapped up the victory over the Potters. Joe Kinnear's cross from the right was headed on by Martin Peters to Chivers, who slid the ball home and then Peters' run was ended with a ball into the box for the striker, who went in for the ball, but it dropped loose for Alan Gilzean to strike it home past Gordon Banks. Tottenham's third goal saw Chiv ease Denis Smith off the ball on the left on the halfway line, out-pace the defender and then curl the ball around Gordon Banks from just outside the box. Stoke tried to battle back, but substitute Willie Stevenson broke his leg in the 57th minute, leaving the Potters with ten men and little opportunity to get anything out of the match. The half-time interval featured a stand-up row between Bill Nicholson and Alan Mullery, when the manager criticised Martin Chivers in the dressing room, despite the two goals he had scored in a match that saw Jimmy Neighbour come on as a substitute for his debut.

28.10.1967	A third minute lead for Tottenham was not enough to hold Stoke City on their own ground, as they came from behind to win this First Division match. Terry Venables had scored to put Spurs ahead, but Harry Burrows equalised in the 18th minute and then scored what proved to be the winner before the interval. Spurs were not helped by a knee injury to Jimmy Greaves that saw him replaced by substitute Eddie Clayton, with Mike England moving into attack to replace Greaves.

01.02.1896	Spurs suffered a 0-5 reverse in their first competitive professional match at Stoke in the First Round of the FA Cup. While having turned professional, the team only had two pros, who had been quickly signed up, with the other nine members of the side being amateurs. Stoke's fast start saw the Tottenham back line holding firm, but a A. Maxwell shot on the half hour gave Stoke the lead, which was doubled when W. Maxwell scored shortly after. Dickson added a third before the break and the home side went on to run up five goals in total with second half strikes from Dickson and Maxwell, although Spurs put up a good display in defeat.
