minutes before as a substitute.
Walshie completed his brace on 70 minutes to make it 2-2, but Pascoe restored the Rokerites lead six minutes later. Spurs were grateful to Gary Lineker for their equaliser in stoppage time to take a point at 3-3. Teams : |

After going three games without a victory, Tottenham's 2-1 win at Roker Park was a welcome win. A Neil McNab effort had threatened the Sunderland goal in the early stages of the game, but an eighth minute lead was secured when John Duncan scored. A penalty was awarded to the home side when Colin Lee was adjudged to have fouled Jack Ashurst and the scores were levelled when Gary Rowell shot the spot-kick past Daines. Sunderland pushed into the Spurs penalty area and the ball pin-balled about the box, but stayed out of the goal. In the second half, Tottenham played a more controlled game, which paid off when Colin Lee crossed for Duncan to coolly steer home the winner in the 68th minute. The second half also saw Barry Daines make some important saves to keep Sunderland out and dived at the feet of Joe Bolton to deny him when it looked like he might score. Teams : |
16.04.1977 | Chris Jones struck a
spectacular equaliser to earn Tottenham a draw against the Rokerites at
White Hart Lane in this game in the Second Division after Mel
Holden had given Sunderland the lead. Jackie Ashurst had the first chance in this relegation battle, with a 25 yard drive the Daines got down to his right to save and Gerry Armstrong out-muscled Colin Waldron to a high ball and forced Barry Siddall to close him down and smother his shot. The first half was constantly interrupted by free-kicks being given for fouls and offside. Three minutes into the second half, a right wing cross was planted past Barry Daines, despite him getting a hand to it, by 6'2" striker Mel Holden. The striker almost doubled the lead when he was found in the middle by Kevin Arnott, but his shot was well stopped by the Spurs keeper. Armstrong did well to break into the area between two yellow shirted opponents, but his shot was very wide of the goal. Just before the hour, A long ball forward was played by Glenn Hoddle for Armstrong to knock on to Jones, whose left foot drive from just inside the area beat Siddall all ends up to make the score 1-1. Sunderland had thought they had won it late on,
but when Waldron knocked the ball on for Arnott to score, he had been
ruled offside. |
20.11.1976 | A fourth minute goal from
Ian Moores was not enough to take the points at Sunderland in this First
Division match. A long kick up-field by Jennings was knocked on by
John Pratt to Alfie Conn. The flamboyant Scotsman flicked the ball
between his legs to put Moores in to shoot past Barry Siddall.
Alfie Conn came as close as possible to adding a second, with his shot hitting the post, bounce across the line to hit the other upright and then come out into play. While Spurs could not add to their score, they controlled the play for 70 minutes until Sunderland got two late goals. In the 76th minute, Ray Train equalised for the home side and Bob Lee's late winner made it a long journey home for Tottenham with nothing for their troubles and left them second bottom in Division 1.

27.09.1969 | A single goal won this match for
Sunderland and it came from Tottenham's centre-half Mike England, who
put through his own net in the 41st minute to give the Rokerites two
First Division points. Tottenham had occupied eighth place in the First Division and Sunderland were bottom, but with Spurs seeking a goal, Mike England was pushed up front to bolster the attack. However, despite bringing out two fine stops from keeper Jim Montgomery, he was unable to find the net and Steve Perryman's debut ended in defeat. Teams : |
16.11.1968 | Jimmy Greaves could be said
to have won this game on his own with four of Tottenham's five goals as
they restricted Sunderland to one in reply in this First Division match
at the Lane. Greaves tucked away a second goal with a side-footed finish at the far post past Montgomery from a couple of yards out. Teams : |

There was a chance for Sunderland to pull one back, but a penalty kick taken by Johnny Crossan hit the post and bounced away from goal. Teams : |
08.03.1961 | A much improved performance
in the Sixth Round FA Cup replay saw Spurs move into the semi-finals to
meet Burnley in front of a packed White Hart Lane, with rumours there
were as many locked outside as there were inside. John White struck a 27th minute shot that hit Charlie Hurley and looped up into the air for Les Allen to shoot into the net. The two Spurs players linked up just after the half hour to provide Cliff Jones with a shot that keeper Peter Wakeham could only block the ball into the path of Bobby Smith, who hit the net to make it 2-0. Terry Dyson made it three before half time with a goal created by Jones, leaving Sunderland with a mountain to climb. With a fourth goal in the 65th minute courtesy of Dyson's header, Spurs went on to wrap up the win five minutes later when Dave Mackay looped in a shot with his left foot to put Spurs through. Ian Lawther had Sunderland's best opportunity, but shot over the bar. Teams : |

Park brought a First Division point in a match that had a thrilling
finish. A goal in the first half by Johnny Brooks was levelled by Billy Bingham's second half goal, but there were chances for both sides to win the match.

Sunderland thought they had won the game near the end, as Alan O'Neil put the ball in the net, but the referee ruled it out for offside and both sides had to settle for a share of the spoils.

Spurs staged a fine comeback from a goal down to record a big win over high-riding Sunderland at White Hart Lane in this FA Cup Fourth Round tie. Dickie Davis put the Rokerites ahead with an 11th minute shot from the edge of the area after he was set up by Tommy McLain. It took only six minutes for Spurs to equalise, when Billy Rees got to a long pass up the wing and crossed for Sonny Walters to score, with his effort taking a deflection off Jack Stelling on it's way in. Just after the half hour, Walters turned provider for Les Bennett to nod Tottenham in front off the left hand upright. Ivor Broadis, who had played for Spurs during the war, missed a great opportunity to level the scores after the restart, but Walters punished the mistake with his second goal of the match, a scrambled effort in the 69th minute. Spurs were now in the ascendancy and on 76 minutes, Les Medley smashed an unstoppable shot past Mapson after Rees, Baily and Walters had all linked up. Medley had a last minute shot blocked, after Ron Burgess' run had presented the chance, but Bennett was on hand to round off the win with his second goal in front of a big crowd at the Lane, including some 16,000 Mackems.
