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.
Following this match, the Potters failed to pick up another point and
were relegated as the bottom club in the First Division.

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.

score ending 2-2 at White Hart Lane in a First Division meeting.

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.

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.

Spurs held Stoke City to a
0-0 draw at the Victoria Ground when a win was more vital to avoid
relegation.
A good first half gave hope of a victory, but the Potters were
revitalised after the break. They were indebted to Peter Shilton at the
end though, when Hoddle took the ball off a defender and the keeper's
dive at his feet robbed him of a scoring opportunity.
Stoke put in a final effort to find a winner, but could not breach the
Spurs defence.Teams :

Two goals from defender
Keith Osgood gave Tottenham a First Division win against Stoke at White
Hart Lane.
Playing towards the Paxton Road in the second half, a
powerful

yards out put Tottenham ahead and the second was a penalty, which Peter Shilton
went the right way to, but could not keep out.

Spurs
fought out a 2-2 draw at the Victoria Ground with Stoke City in this
First Division meeting.
An early goal shocked Spurs, when Geoff Salmons scored an eighth minute
opener, but John Duncan turned the game around before the break. Ralph
Coates' cross had been back-heeled into Duncan's path to slide in to
fire the equaliser and within five minutes, he had struck a left foot
shot for the second after he had been set up by Martin Chivers.
There was still time for Jimmy Greenhoff to pull Stoke level at 2-2 with
36 minutes on the clock. Despite the home team exerting a lot of
pressure on the Spurs defence, they could not break through and nearly
got caught on the break when Ray Evans' right wing run produced a cross
that was just a little too far ahead of Martin Chivers, who was unable to get a
telling touch on the ball. It was Chivers who nearly made it 3-2
later, when he struck a left foot shot just over the bar from eight
yards out.Teams :

The Potters took the lead through a goal stabbed home in the goalmouth
by John Ritchie in the second half, but Spurs worked their way back into
the game with Mike England hitting the crossbar with a header. Then,
following a free-kick, Ray Evans struck a powerful drive from outside

White Hart Lane. Spurs were ahead
with goals from John Pratt,
when he dived in to head
Ray Evans' right foot drive from the edge of the box
and then Alan Gilzean,
with a powerful
header past Gordon Banks from ten yards out, 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,
taking a pass from Cyril Knowles to fire home,
before Alan Bloor scored to make it a tense finish, but Tottenham held on
for a 4-3 win.

Two John Mahoney goals saw
Stoke City beat Spurs at the Victoria Ground and take two First Division
points.
There was little of note that happened in the
first half when Spurs were in the ascendancy. While Tottenham had a lot of possession, they
failed to break through Stoke's four man midfield and in the first ten
minutes of the second half, they were hit by two goals from John
Mahoney. The first came from a long range shot that caught a deflection
off a leg to get through and the second goal came when the ball was not
cleared by the Spurs defence and Mahoney capitalised.
Spurs did make a bid to get back into the match
with Pratt setting Chivers away only to be stopped by Gordon Banks
before Martin Peters shot narrowly wide. Jimmy Pearce's shot was hacked
away and then Chivers' header was well saved by Banks, as he fell
backwards.

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 hook it home past
Gordon Banks at the Park Lane end. 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.

Coming into the game without a win
in five league and cup games, Spurs put an end to that run with a 3-0
home win over Stoke as they found their scoring
boots at White Hart Lane after two previous goal-less draws.
Terry Venables played a free-kick into the area for Mike England to head
home and the lead was doubled when Jimmy Robertson powered a shot at
goal that Gordon Banks could only help on it's way into the net.
Just after half-time, Alan Mullery's cross was headed in by Cliff Jones
to hand Spurs a much needed victory. Alan Bloor had Stoke's three best
efforts, but Pat Jennings was equal to his shots, while Banks denied
Greaves three times to keep the score down.Teams :

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.

Spurs drew this First Division match with Stoke City at the Lane 2-2,
with goals from Alan Gilzean and Jimmy Robertson.
All four goals were scored in the first half.
Dave Mackay tried a shot from 25 yards, but it was deflected into the
path of frank Saul, just inside the box. He tried an early shot
but could not keep it down and it flew into the Park Lane end.
Getting between Skeels and Palmer, Alan Gilzean headed Frank Saul's
cross down
past Irvine to net the first goal for Spurs from inside the six yard box.
Roy Vernon tested Pat Jennings with a
low shot form 20 yards, but the Spurs keeper got down to his right to
hold the ball. Alan Bloor made a good forward run and played in
Peter Dobing, who was brought down by Mackay as he got into the penalty
area. Vernon stroked it low past Jennings to the keeper's left to
equalise from the spot. Vernon was involved again, as Stoke took
the lead. He played a pass out to the left wing, where Burrows
took on Beal and shot only to see Jennings save, but the loose ball ran
to Dobing, who put it into the net from the edge of the six yard area,
beating two Spurs players to the ball,
With Dave Mackay's
cross-shot from a free-kick wide on the right being headed in across the keeper by Jimmy Robertson, the
second goal came at the Park Lane end and made it 2-2 on 29 minutes.
Just before half-time, Dobing ran from
the halfway line to hit a shot that Jennings saved at his near post.
Into the second half, Clayton hit a low
effort just wide from 25 yards out, while Pat Jennings saved a Maurice
Setters header from a corner, with a Stoke player just unable to turn in
the loose ball and had to be alert to keep out Dobing's low shot to his
near post after Laurie Brown had given the ball away on the edge of the
Spurs box. From the corner, Bebbington hit the bar with a looping
header and the Knowles blocked a shot by Roy Vernon after the Welshman
shot from the edge of the box, only to see the intervention take the bal
inches wide of the keeper's right hand post. .

City.

and Stoke the First, with Bill Nicholson providing the cross for Eddie
Baily to head in for the only goal of the game in the second half.

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 an 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.
