17.01.1998 | With Spurs perilously close
to the bottom of the table, we needed the points from this derby at the
Lane. With seven minutes on the clock, Wilson stopped the ball
from going out and fed Ginola, who crossed for Jurgen Klinsmann to put
Spurs one up.
Sinton made Craig Forrest dive to save a snapshot and Ginola curled a shot just wide of the target. Old boy John Moncur called Espen Baardsen into action to keep the Irons out and the Norwegian keeper also denied Lampard from a free-kick and Lazaridis with an athletic one handed save. Just before half-time, Samassi Abou had a touch-line flare up where he aimed a kick at Ramon Vega and was dismissed by the referee. In the second half, Spurs pressed into the West Ham half and Ginola, Howells, Fox and Berti all had shots that narrowly failed to give Tottenham an extension to their lead and Campbell headed against the post. Other chances flew by with Sinton missing with three shots and a header and it was nearly costly, as Baardsen made two saves at the end from Unsworth and Lampard to maintain a clean sheet and give Spurs three precious points. Spurs - Baardsen;
Carr, Vega, Campbell, Wilson; Sinton, Fox (Brady 80), Calderwood
(Howells 59),
Ginola (Dominguez 65); Klinsmann, Berti |
13.08.1997 | Les Ferdinand scored his first
Tottenham goal, but it could not stop Tottenham losing 1-2 at Upton Park
to West Ham United. Losing a fourth minute goal to John Hartson and then the injured Sol Campbell early in this Premier League match unbalanced Spurs. Walker was beaten when Hartson hit a shot from Stan Lazaridis' cross, but was then on hand to save from both Hartson and Paul Kitson. A series of good saves from Ian Walker in denying Hartson and Paul Kitson kept Spurs in the game, and Eyal Berkovic and Rio Ferdinand both had efforts off target. As the half went on, Tottenham got into the game more and Allan Nielsen was prevented an equaliser by a fine one handed save out of Ludek Miklosko. Steffen Iversen had a couple of opportunities that went close too. After the break, the game swung from end to end and Miklosko was in action to dive at Les Ferdinand's feet and central defender Marc Rieper tackled Nielsen just as he was about to shoot, while at the other end Hartson went very close with a diving header that was just too high. Kitson had somehow put a header over the bar from close in before debutant Berkovic added to West Ham's lead with a run through and shot from Lazaridis' pass, despite a suspicion of handball by the Israeli midfielder. Ferdinand reduced the arrears in the 83rd minute with his first Spurs goal - steering in substitute Andy Sinton's low cross and a point was the least Spurs deserved for piling on the pressure, when Ramon Vega was twice foiled by the Hammers' goalkeeper. However, as Spurs threw everything forward, they had to rely on the crossbar to keep out Frank Lampard's shot in the last minute. Teams : |
24.02.1997 | A seven
goal thriller saw struggling West Ham United take the three points at
Upton Park. Teddy Sheringham gave Tottenham a seventh minute lead in this London derby, when Darren Anderton won the ball in midfield, finding Stephen Carr on the right wing. The defender put in a fierce cross that Sheringham got his head to, some 15 yards out and planted the ball past a static Ludek Miklosko. However, Julian Dicks with a free header from a corner from the left in the 21st minute and Paul Kitson getting ahead of Walker to head in from a corner on the right a minute later gave the Hammers a 2-1 lead. Following Sheringham's header on from Walker's long kick and Iversen's pass to put Darren Anderton through, he lobbed over the Irons keeper in the 29th minute to equalise, but this did not last long, with Paul Hartson restoring the home advantage in the 38th minute, with yet another free header, this time at the far post from a left wing free-kick. Sheringham held the ball up in the 53rd minute and laid to off to David Howells, who played despite the death of his father in the lead up to the game and he side-footed the ball into the bottom corner from 25 yards out to once more put the teams level. With 18 minutes left, the midfielder fouled Hartson in the area to allow the Irons to take a decisive 4-3 lead with Dicks scoring from the spot by blasting it down the centre of the goal. Teams : |
02.11.1996 | Chris
Armstrong beat Julian Dicks to a ball to poke it past Miklosko for the

30.08.1995 | The spoils
were shared as the teams finished the game with a goal apiece at Upton
Park in this Premier League meeting.
The home team went ahead with 25 minutes gone, as a fierce 25 yard free-kick from Don Hutchison ripped past Ian Walker. Spurs equalised later in the first half when David Howells set up Ronny Rosenthal to shoot home on the turn from inside the box. Tottenham looked the better side in the second half, with Darren Anderton coming on as a substitute to inspire chances for Chris Armstrong and Rosenthal that almost won the game. Teams : |
14.01.1995 | Although
Spurs let in their first goal in six matches, they went on to win this
game at Upton Park 2-1 against West Ham United.
It was Jeroen Boere who gave West Ham the lead and it sparked Spurs into life, with Teddy Sheringham capitalising on a mistake by goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko, who could not get Darren Anderton's 58th minute free-kick clear. Spurs went on to get the winning goal with eleven minutes remaining, as Nick Barmby put Jurgen Klinsmann away to slot the ball past Miklosko to make it 2-1. Teams : |
29.10.1994 | Ossie Ardiles' last game in
charge saw Tottenham beat their East London opponents West Ham United
3-1 at White Hart Lane. Jurgen Klinsmann passed out to the right to find Nick Barmby and his return cross was turned in to put Spurs ahead in the 18th minute, although just before the interval, Matthew Rush shot home past Erik Thorstvedt to pull the Irons level. Justin Edinburgh's first half injury saw him replaced at half time by Teddy Sheringham and when Tony Cottee missed a simple chance, it was the Spurs striker who volleyed home from 20 yards to put Tottenham back in the lead three minutes into the second half. Nick Barmby completed the scoring in the 63rd minute, when he finished off Sheringham's delicate chip over the back line to set him in on goal. Spurs : - Thorstvedt, Edinburgh (Sheringham 46), Popescu, Campbell, Campbell, Kerslake, Mabbutt, Dozzell, Hazard (Hill 82), Barmby, Dumitrescu, Klinsmann Unused sub. : - Walker West Ham United : - Ludek Miklosko, Julian Dicks, Alvin Martin, Steve Potts, Keith Rowland, Ian Bishop (Lee Chapman 68), Martin Allen (Adrian Whitbread 90), Matthew Rush, Mike Marsh, Tony Cottee, Don Hutchison Unused sub. : - Ian Feuer Crowd : - 26,271 Ref. : - Kelvin Morton (Suffolk) Weather : - Overcast. |

with Gordon Durie dismissed to add to the club's miseries.
A fifth minute lead was handed to Spurs, when Gary Lineker breached the Irons' defence. However, Mike Small drew West Ham level on 12 minutes and then former Spur Mitchell Thomas struck the winner for the home side just before the half hour. Tottenham were reduced to ten men when Durie was red-carded for a foul and the score-line remained unchanged despite both teams creating opportunities. Teams : |

Teams : |
17.12.1988 | Two
irregular scorers gave Tottenham a much needed win at Upton Park in this
First Division encounter.
In the 23rd minute, Gary Mabbutt broke up a West Ham attack and passing the ball through Paul Walsh and Chris Waddle, surged forward to end the move with a crashing volley past McKnight in the Irons goal. Spurs lost the influential presence of Paul Gascoigne at the break and it was left to Walsh to set up Mitchell Thomas for a long range shot that flew in on 68 minutes to give Spurs a cushion. West Ham pushed to get back in the match, but Mimms was inspired in keeping the home side at bay to earn Tottenham the points. Teams : |
28.12.1987 | An 11.30 a.m. kick off saw
Tottenham jump over West Ham after they had won this post-Christmas
First Division
derby match.
A rocket of a free-kick from Chris Waddle gave Spurs the lead, while defender Chris Fairclough headed a second to give Spurs some breathing room in the frantic action. Paul Hilton managed a consolation for the Irons late on. Teams : |
02.02.1987 |
The Fifth round League Cup replay at White Hart Lane burst into life with a torrent of goals. The visitors had a couple of good chances to get off the mark through Billy Bonds (who was starting for the first time in two years), before Ardiles played in Nico Claesen to swing the ball past Phil Parkes. Glenn Hoddle added a 71st minute goal and then Paul Allen, playing against his old club created a couple of goals for cousin Clive, who then went on to complete a nine minute hat-trick with a penalty. Teams : |
27.01.1987 |
Postponed from six days before,
because of the cold weather, this Fifth round League Cup tie saw early
goal line clearances from efforts by Glenn Hoddle and Clive Allen,
before Allen scored in the 38th minute after the ball passed through
Ardiles and Paul Allen to set him up. Gough had averted an
equaliser by clearing off the line from McAvennie, although it was
shortly followed by Cottee's goal, forcing home Dickens' 48th minute
blocked shot. Teams : |
26.12.1986 | A
simple 4-0 win for Spurs over West Ham United at White Hart Lane soured
the East Enders' Christmas celebrations. Debutant Steve Hodge made a very good start in a Spurs shirt, with a dynamic midfield performance and a goal, with Clive Allen's brace and a Chris Waddle strike making it a claret and blue Christmas for the Irons. Teams : |

20.11.1982 | Second
place West Ham came to White Hart Lane and were left suffering a loss
inflicted by a Steve Archibald double.
The Irons had actually taken the lead in the first half, when Belgian Francois van der Elst broke away to slot home. Ten minutes after the interval, Archibald capitalised on a mistake by former Spur Jimmy Neighbour to level the scores, then Chris Hughton smashed a shot past Phil Parkes, but it bounced out off the post. It was left for goal poacher Archibald to win the game for tenth place Tottenham with a late strike. Teams : |
02.12.1980 | Second Division West Ham
won this encounter in the Fifth Round of the League Cup with a single
goal from David Cross, netting an 81st minute header. Spurs
appeared to have escaped a penalty shout when Chris Hughton was alleged
to have handled in the area, but Cross' header high into the net beat
Steve Perryman on the goal-line. The
Tottenham run had seen them play all their games in London.
Teams : |
01.01.1977 | New Years
Day was celebrated by Spurs fans who saw goals from Osgood and Duncan
give them a 2-1 win over the Irons.
Spurs had been rocked by a third minute goal from Trevor Brooking, which West Ham held onto until half-time. The England midfielder's free-kick from the right evaded Robson and Goddard in the middle, with the former taking Jennings out as the ball went into the net. John Pratt had a header blocked in a crowded goalmouth when he met Peter Taylor's corner, Green almost lobbed his own keeper from 25 yards and Taylor hit the side=netting with a left foot shot from the left of the goal. Into the second half, Spurs started to take the initiative and Billy Bonds pulled back Alfie Conn as he ran into the box for the linesman to flag for a spot-kick. Keith Osgood's penalty, blasted down the middle of the goal as Day went to his left in the 51st minute got Spurs on level terms. Ralph Coates' corner was headed out to Conn on the 18 yard line and his low shot was just pushed wide by Mervyn Day, but John Duncan's strike on the hour proved enough for Spurs to seal the win. Jennings' long kick was headed on by Duncan, with Conn touching the ball back into his path to bend home a left foot shot from 20 yards into the bottom corner of the net. Teams : |

Teams : |
06.11.1976 | Spurs
crashed to a defeat at Upton Park in an eight goal London Derby
with West Ham United grateful to their goalkeeper Mervyn Day before
going on to a big win.
A fine save by Mervyn Day in the Irons goal kept Spurs out in the 14th minute, but Bryan 'Pop' Robson and Billy Bonds scored to give the home side a 2-0 lead. A 12 yard John Duncan header brought Spurs back into the game on 40 minutes, but goals from Trevor Brooking (54 mins), Billy Jennings and Alan Curbishley put Tottenham 1-5 behind. Tottenham were not giving up and Glenn Hoddle scored to kick start a comeback, with Keith Osgood converting from the penalty spot (his fourth successful spot-kick of the season) to make it 3-5. Spurs were hoping to make it even closer, but despite a valiant finish, the West Ham defence managed to prevent any further goals. Teams : |
07.02.1976 | Spurs were held 1-1 at home by West
Ham United in the First Division. In the first half, Tottenham created a number of chances, with John Duncan forcing Mervyn Day to two good saves, while Don McAllister went close with another opening. Martin Chivers had just replaced Jimmy Neighbour halfway through the second half when Spurs went ahead thanks to Duncan's fine 68th minute header from 12 yards out at the Paxton Road end, but that only lasted for nine minutes. West Ham roared back at Spurs and Alan Taylor drove in a shot and Pat Jennings could only palm it aside, leaving Trevor Brooking the opportunity to shoot home and grab a point for the Irons. In the remaining 12 minutes, there were opportunities for the Irons to have won it with a strong finish. Teams : |
24.11.1975 | West Ham United put up brave
resistance in keeping Spurs at bay during 90 minutes of the League Cup
Fourth Round replay, but two goals in extra time won Spurs the right to
face Doncaster Rovers in the next round. The League Cup Fourth round replay had an unscheduled stop, when the floodlights failed after about 25 minutes and were not switched on again for another period of the same time. When they did, they shed light on a disappointing game, where neither side could score in the regulation 90 minutes, so the tie went into extra time. It was a frenetic match with few clear chances
to score and Spurs lost Don McAllister to injury, with Cyril Knowles
coming on as a substitute. Teams : |
12.11.1975 | Stalemate

25.08.1975 | Spurs

Teams : |
08.09.1973 | Spurs beat
West Ham on their own turf in this First Division London derby with a
single goal.
Spurs went close with Martin Peters shooting just wide when clear through in the second half, but it was strike partner Martin Chivers' mis-hit shot after being set up by Alan Gilzean in the 65th minute that beat Bobby Ferguson to give Spurs both points. Teams : |

attendance record for West Ham United at 42,322 saw this thrilling 2-2
draw. Tottenham went ahead with an early Alan Mullery goal after just six minutes, but they were hauled back to 1-1 by Peter Eustace's 23rd minute header from Bobby Moore's free-kick. Spurs regained the lead before the break when Mike England scored in the 37th minute, but once again the scores were levelled when Geoff Hurst hit a 51st minute goal to make it 2-2. Alan Mullery told the Daily Mirror that he thought "both the West Ham goals were sloppy ones." Teams : |
15.08.1970 | An exciting
First Division match saw the spoils shared in front of a huge crowd.
A Peters header crashed back off the bar before Jimmy Pearce set Gilzean through to score, but soon after Gilly's former strike partner Jimmy Greaves scored a stunning goal to equalise. However, Alan Gilzean put Tottenham ahead again when Bond's corner was headed back across goal by Mike England and Gilzean nodded home with a diving header. Early in the second period, Perryman broke through to hit a shot that bounced away off Grotier's knee and soon after, Peter Bennett headed the Irons' equaliser to grab a point from the match with his last goal for the club before joining Orient. Teams : |
20.12.1969 | Two quick
goals gave West Ham a win over Spurs.
The first effort of the game came from Ray Evans, who drew a diving save from Bobby Ferguson and despite dominating the first ten minutes, Spurs slipped behind when Martin Peters gave the Irons the lead, with Geoff Hurst adding a second two minutes later with a trademark rocket shot to make it 2-0. Jimmy Pearce was fouled in the penalty area but Jimmy Greaves put the spot-kick wide. Greaves was denied a further goal by Ferguson and the keeper also saved twice from Pearce. Teams : |
06.09.1969 | Tottenham visited
the Boleyn Ground to meet West Ham United in this First Division
fixture. Some mis-kicks both both sides in the West Ham area left Greaves with a shooting chance and uncharacteristically, his effort was blocked by Ferguson, but that was the best chance of the first half. After the turnaround, Greaves broke up a West Ham move and set Pratt away. He played the ball left to Gilzean, who returned it and the young midfielder shot over from 18 yards. Jennings launched a long kick, which Gilzean headed on for Jimmy Pearce to step inside a defender and shoot left footed across Ferguson to make it 1-0 to Spurs. Despite complaints from the Irons players, the referee pointed to the spot after consulting his linesman. The home team tried to get back into the game and England blocked a goal-bound shot from Brooking, which was as close as they came before the final whistle gave Spurs the away win. Teams : Tottenham kicked off and played towards the
North Bank end in the first half. |
19.04.1969 | A match
best remembered for the jig performed by Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Moore in
mid-match was won by the Spurs striker's instinctive finish. Although Irons' goalie Peter Grotier had kept Spurs at bay with a series of good saves, it was Greaves' cheeky finish between the keeper's legs that won the match for Tottenham just after the interval. Teams : |

08.03.1956 | This Sixth Round replay saw the doors locked at Upton Park as the crowd watched Tottenham move into the semi-final with a 2-1 win with a 3.00 p.m. kick off on a Thursday afternoon. Tommy Harmer and Duquemin were both again on the score-sheet for Spurs, who eased through, despite the newspapers claiming that West Ham had five penalty appeals turned down !! Harmer's goal came just before half-time, when he knocked in Mel Hopkins' cross. The home team equalised when Billy Dare Headed in Frank O'Farrell's centre with 65 minutes gone, but five minutes later, Tottenham booked a semi-final place with a Len Duquemin shot into the left hand corner of the goal.

When John Dick scored a hat-trick inside fourteen minutes, it looked as though West Ham were sailing through to the semi-final of the FA Cup. But Spurs had other ideas. With three strikes between the 21st and the 35th minutes, the Irons' 3-1 lead looked very impressive. Dick opened the scoring in the 21st minute and headed a second two minutes later. Spurs got back into the game when Harry Clarke hit the post, Bobby Smith fired the rebound goal-wards and John bond caught the ball on the line. Tommy Harmer's 32nd minute penalty had reduced the arrears and then, two minutes after Dick's hat trick goal, George Robb scored again to make it 2-3 at the break when he headed Johnny Brooks' corner into the net from five yards out. Spurs pressed forward to gain an equaliser and succeeded in their quest when Len Duquemin powered home a third goal in the 74th minute to level the scores and take the Sixth Round tie into a replay at Upton Park.
