08.12.1990 A 10th minute Colin Pascoe goal shocked Spurs in this Division One match and they were even more aghast when Peter Davenport doubled the lead on 23 minutes.  Spurs struggled to break through the Sunderland defence and it took until the 65th minute for Paul Walsh to score, having entered the fray just seven 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.

Graham Roberts gave Spurs an early lead from the penalty spot, but the visitors equalised with a shot that deflected in off Paul Miller.  Turner then came into his own, saving shot after shot and a second Roberts penalty.  His best effort denied Mark Falco a goal

10.12.1977

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 their penalty area, 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.

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 upfield 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.

In the 76th minute, Ray Train equalised for the home side and Bob Lees late winner made it a long journey home for Tottenham with nothing for their troubles.

07.11.1964 Spurs ran out 3-0 winners in this First Division meeting with Sunderland at White Hart Lane.

There were no goals in a disappointing first half, but two quick goals out Spurs in the driving seat.  Jimmy Greaves headed home Terry Dyson's left wing cross at the far post to make it 1-0 and within five minutes of the restart the lead had been doubled, with Cliff Jones' diving header finishing off Jimmy Robertson's left wing cross.

Robertson made it 3-0 himself, when his first shot was stopped by defender Dickie Rooks, but he converted the rebound by knocking it home past goalkeeper Jim Montgomery.  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.

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.

04.03.1961 Spurs were taken back to White Hart Lane for a Fifth Round FA Cup replay by a plucky Second Division Sunderland side. 

Cliff Jones provided Spurs with the lead with a ninth minute header that arced over keeper Peter Wakeham, but youngster Willie McPheat in the same minute of the second half to leave the scores tied at 1-1, although Sunderland had the better chances in the remainder of the match.

02.11.1957 Tottenham's trip to Roker 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.  Bobby Smith went through and although he was tripped on the edge of the box, kept going, only to be robbed of a shooting chance just as he was about to shoot.  Sunderland thought they had won the game near the end, as Alan O'Neil put the ball in the net, but the referee rules it out for offside and both sides had to settle for a share of the spoils.

23.09.1950 A first half goal by Spurs was equalised in the second to see the sides share the points at White Hart Lane.

After Sid McClellan had seen his debut end with a knock on the head that required his removal to hospital leaving Spurs with ten men, Tottenham pushed forward.  Although a man short, Denis Uphill slipped a pass to Eddie Baily, who shot home to give Spurs the lead before the break.

Star striker Ivor Broadis grabbed an equaliser early in the second half, but it was Spurs who had the best chances to win the match, being kept out by keeper John Mapson.

28.01.1950

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.
