I wasn't there, I wasn't into football, I was only five.... but this is great footage. Lovely long POV shots throughout from both the North Stand and the old Holte End. What a team.

I remember and went to this game (as a 10 year old), in a season where we won 17 out of 21 home games but were lousy on the road.  Spurs were the better side for much of it with Jimmy Rimmer playing a blinder until we blew them out of the water.  I recall the Holte End booing Ricky Villa whenever he had the ball because of the Falklands war earlier in the year and my dad saying how stupid the jeering was.

dcdavecollett:
He was right.

martin o`who??:
This game we were in Blackpool for and was the only game we missed all season. Bob Wilson who presented MOTD at the time and loathed us with a passion tersely summed it up as "By no means a fair reflection of the match" after it had been edited to show every shot, free kick throw-in and corner Spurs had and "Just" our four goals. My brother who was there said it was a travesty and totally biased towards Tottenham - who were very much the establishment blue-eyed boys of English football at the time.

I was there too, on The Holte. I would have been eleven.
