The match
marked the opening of the New West stand and Sir Stanley Rous, President
of FIFA, cut the ribbon to a firework reception.
The fireworks were a
taste of things to come as Glenn Hoddle's penalty in the ninth minute
gave Spurs an early lead. Ricky Villa hit another goal on the
half-hour, then headed home Tony Galvin's pinpoint cross on 40 minutes,
before rounding off his hat-trick just after the interval. Kenny
Hibbitt had pulled a goal back for Wolves just before the half-time
whistle.
A bullet header from
Garth Crooks and a sixth goal from Mark Falco sealed a fitting way to
mark the advent of the new part of White Hart Lane stadium.

FA Cup Semi-final at
Hillsborough.
Spurs were robbed when, with
seconds left of the regulation 90 minutes, Kenny Hibbitt went down in the
box under challenge from Glenn Hoddle. There looked nothing amiss at the
time, but controversial referee Clive Thomas pointed to the spot and the resulting
penalty kick was stuck away by Willie Carr to give Wolves a replay.
This
had equalled the scores after Hoddle had converted a free kick awarded inches
outside the box, when a penalty had looked the correct decision. Archibald
had struck to give Spurs and early lead, but they were pulled back by Hibbitt's
goal. The crowd was dangerously packed in that day and many Spurs fans complained
of crushing at the Leppings Lane end of the ground and had to be moved to the
opposite end of the stadium.

Chris McGrath's equaliser
salvaged a point from Tottenham's visit to Molineux.
Spurs had the better chances in the first half against
struggling Wolves, but failed to profit from them. McGrath struck
the post, Martin Chivers' over-head kick flew just inches wise and Ralph
Coates' fierce shot was well saved. It was in the 61st minute that
the home team took their chance and Barry Powell converted to give Wolves
the lead. Tottenham were well worth their equaliser, which arrived when
Ray Evans and Chivers combined to present McGrath the opportunity to shoot
home from seven yards with his right foot.

A 2-2 opening day draw was
a good result for both sides, but Spurs had come from 0-2 down to grab a
point.
Striker Bobby Gould put the home side
ahead on 27 minutes and when Mike England handled Kenny Hibbitt's shot,
Jim McCalliog hit the second from the penalty spot after 70
minutes. With ten minutes left, Cyril Knowles cross was dropped by
keeper Phil Parkes at Chivers' feet and he reduced the deficit.
When Alan Gilzean headed home Martin Peters' free-kick, Spurs were level
with only six minutes remaining.

A quick fire double by
Wolves took the points at Molineux, thanks to a Derek Dougan goal on 61
minutes and Frank Wignall adding the second soon after.
Tottenham's only real opportunity came
when centre-half Mike England moved forward and his shot from just
outside the penalty area bounced back of the goalpost.

Spurs
travelled to Molineux and returned with a convincing 4-1 win.
The home side took the lead through Alan Hinton
after just four minutes of this Wednesday evening match and it took until
the latter stages of the first half for Spurs to bring the scores level
through Bobby Smith. It was Smith who put Tottenham ahead in the
second half and Jimmy Greaves added a brace, his second coming from the
penalty spot for a handball, to wrap up a good two points for Spurs.

With the
two teams at the top of the table with 16 points from 11 matches each, the
First Division encounter looked like it would be a close one. That
proved to be the case in the early part of the match, with Wolves' Bobby
Mason equalising Bobby Smith's opener, but Smith restored the lead before
the interval. Into the second period,
Cliff Jones extended the lead to 3-1 and then Bobby Smith finished off a
rumbustuous performance with two more goals before the end to take his
personal tally to four.

Wolves ran
out big home winners in this First Division game at Molineux.
The first thirty minutes were goal-less, but Wolves
went on the rampage with three goals in the next nine minutes, one a
penalty. The second half was little better for Spurs, as they let in
another two, one more from a spot-kick, but a further
penalty gave Spurs a consolation as Tommy Harmer netted
for our solitary goal in the 1-5 defeat in which Ron Reynolds played
particularly well despite conceding five !!

Wolves win at White Hart
Lane gave them a club record 18 matches unbeaten in the First Division.
Les Bennett's header from Baily's
cross had given Tottenham the lead in the 23rd minute and it wasn't
until the 53rd minute that Wolves equalised. Winger Johnny
Hancocks was flying and his ball in was headed home low by Dennis
Wilshaw. In the next attack, Wolves took the lead when Jimmy
Mullen's cross was met by Peter Broadbent's head and it flew into the
top corner.
Len Duquemin pulled Spurs back level
with an equaliser just before the hour, but Wolves' winner came from
Hancocks, who drove home from a narrow angle with just ten minutes left
on the clock.

Having had their train
delayed, the Spurs side had to get changed in the carriage and got to
the ground just in time - thanks to a police escort !!
When Tottenham
eventually arrived, they did find a frozen pitch and a Wolves side that
came at them from the off, with Ditchburn having to be alert to keep
them at bay. Tottenham's best attack in the first half ended with
Harmer being upended in the box, but penalty shouts were dismissed by
the ref.
The second half saw
both sides continue to master the conditions and Spurs were denied by
the linesman's flag when Duquemin and Walters both looked like
scoring. Tottenham lost the services of Bennett through injury,
but he had to stay on, there being no substitutes in those days and in
the end were grateful for the 0-0 scoreline.

home defeat, but driven on by captain Bill Nicholson, they staged a

This
Thursday afternoon saw a momentous event in Tottenham's history as they
staged their first Football League match.
FA Cup holders Wolves
came to London to face League newcomers Spurs and were met by a team set
on making their debut in League competition a winning one. With
Bob Hewitson, Doug McFarlane and Robert Steel all making their club
debut, it was a good day for a whole number of reasons. Even
Vivian Woodward appeared before the end of the cricket season ... a most
unusual occurrence. The only thing that didn't read the script was
the weather, with wind and rain sweeping across White Hart Lane.
A goal from Woodward,
after after six minutes gave Tottenham the lead when Walton's 20 yard
free-kick was only parried into the path of the forward, who knocked it
home from close range. Another Lunn error shortly after left
Woodward with a golden opportunity for the second, but he shot wide.
The
second goal came after the half-time break, when Woodward notched his
second goal, set up by "Ginger" Walton and then Spurs were on their way
to a 3-0 win, with the final goal coming from Tom Morris - a bullet of a
shot from 30 yards out that tore in under the crossbar. Only good
keeping by Tommy Lunn prevented Woodward from scoring a hat-trick in
Tottenham's league debut.
