spurs v wolverhampton wanderers notes
| 28.08.1933 | To mark Tottenham's first home game back in the First Division at the start of the 1933-34 season, they hired the Band of the Grenadier Guards to play before the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The band could not make it for an evening kick off and so the time was brought forward to the afternoon, meaning that the Monday fixture was won by Spurs, but in front of a much reduced crowd, as many fans were unable to attend. |
