05.08.1980 Dundee United were the opponents in a pre-season friendly at Tannadice and won 4-1 as Spurs completed their Scottish tour.

Garth Crooks opened the scoring in the 12th minute as Spurs had the better of the first half, finishing off a move that saw Glenn Hoddle play a delicate ball over the Terrors' defence for Ossie Ardiles to poke the ball past the keeper and the former Stoke striker ensured the ball found the net.  This had come after Paul Miller had cleared a shot off the line from a shot from Eamonn Bannon, who got on the end of Billy Kirkwood's cross. Ricky Villa then beat three players before dinking a shot just over the bar.

Three minutes before the break, United levelled the score when Kirkwood struck an unstoppable effort past Daines from 35 yards out.

The second half was a different matter as Dundee United went on to win the second half easily.  12 minutes in, Narey beat the offside trap and took the ball around Daines to square for Graeme Payne to tuck the ball away from close range.  Peter Taylor led the Spurs response and his drive had to be tipped over by Hamish McAlpine, but when Paul Sturrock won the ball, he played it low across the box and Derek Addison beat substitute Ralph Milne to the ball to stick it past the Spurs keeper in the 65th minute.  Daines did well to get to Milne's pile-driver, but the ball dropped for Sturrock to complete the win with ten minutes to go.

23.11.1976 Spurs beat Arsenal 3-2 in Pat Jennings' Testimonial match at White Hart Lane.

Cyril Knowles had returned to play for his former team-mate, but it was fellow guest player Jimmy Greaves who handed Tottenham a 1-0 led in just two minutes, tapping the ball across the line from close range, but within four minutes Sammy Nelson rifled a shot past Jennings to level.

Spurs went into the dressing room at half-time 2-1 ahead, as Peter Taylor's fine 25th minute goal saw them hold the advantage.

Just after the re-start Malcolm Macdonald scored to make it 2-2, before Greaves did what he did best and poached a 66th minute winner. Greavsie was keen to finish with a hat-trick, but Jimmy Rimmer's fine stop denied him later in the match.

23.03.1976 Tottenham took a team to Brighton's Goldstone Ground for Joe Kinnear's Testimonial match and ran out 6-1 winners.

Brighton invited some old team-mates of Kinnear to feature in their side, with Jimmy Greaves, Dave Mackay and Terry Venables guesting for the Seagulls.

The opening goal of the game came from the head of Martin Chivers, meeting John Pratt's 10th minute free-kick. It was 2-0 when Chris Jones scored and then a fine header from Pratt to score from a Noel Brotherston cross gave Tottenham a 3-0 advantage at the break.

Seven minutes after half-time, Keith Osgood fired home Tottenham's fourth and the lead was reduced when Kinnear scored from the penalty spot. Spurs then went back on the offensive and Gerry Armstrong netted with a cheeky back-heel before Mike Stead's swerving drive completed the scoring.

Spurs were put on the back foot for the first half hour.  An early goal by Don Ford from a penalty gave Hearts a well-deserved lead, but Spurs came back in the second half to produce a better performance.  A number of chances were made as Spurs pressed forward, but none were taken until John Pratt struck a few minutes from the end of the match.

03.12.1973 Phil Beal's testimonial against Bayern Munich ended 2-2 in front of a meagre crowd for such a loyal servant to the club.

An early lead was handed to Spurs by Alan Gilzean when he stroked the ball home from close range and then Ray Evans' cross was glanced home by the head of John Pratt to put Tottenham 2-0 up against the crack German side.

However, just before half-time, Zobel put a shot wide of Pat Jennings to the keeper's right to bring Bayern back into the game and late on in the second period, Roth fired home an equaliser.

The game was played at half-pace for much of the time, but an injury to Martin Peters after 22 minutes was not what the team wanted.

18.08.1973 Sunderland (away)    Won    1-0

Jimmy Neighbour's goal settled this pre-season friendly at Roker Park against Sunderland.

Sunderland looked the likelier side to score and when Ian Porterfield set up Mick Horswill for a shot, Spurs escaped going a goal behind when the ball hit the outside of the goal-post. It was a costly miss because when Jim Montgomery and Dave Watson left the ball for each other, Jimmy Neighbour nipped in to knock the ball home and give Tottenham a 17th minute lead.
The second half saw the home team surge forward, with Dennis Tueart, Vic Halom and John Hughes all miss good chances and Pat Jennings ensuring that the Sunderland attacks came to nothing.
Following victories in the previous season’s FA Cup by Sunderland and League Cup by Spurs, the trophies were paraded around the ground ahead of the match.

17.10.1972 Spurs played a testimonial against Feyenoord for Jimmy Greaves, which Tottenham won 2-1.

Jimmy Greaves returned to the Lilywhite shirt for one last time in the “Goodbye Greaves” match to give the former striker a resounding farewell.  Despite having retired 18 months before, there were still glimpses of the old forward there and it took only three minutes for him to get on the score-sheet, with a goal slipped into the Dutch team's net in typical Greaves style.

Feyenoord levelled the score when Peter Ressel with 24 minutes gone, but Ray Evans restored Tottenham's lead when Martin Chivers played him in to hit an angled drive into the net with 31 minutes on the clock.

Barry Daines was drafted in at the last minute and played well to keep Feyenoord out to ensure Spurs ended victors for their hero of the night.
