FIRST ONLY AND FINAL GOALS AT THE LANE.

I had to check the facts having heard a commentator mention the "first" and "last" goals to be scored at White Hart Lane. I am not sure he was right, or my research on www. missed something. Maybe a Spurs anorak will be able to help me.

Today the last goal scored in the 6-0 demolition of Millwall was by Son Heung-min in the 90' + 2', it couldn't have been more terminal!
It completed his hat trick and this will be the last FA Cup tie to be held at WHL. Spurs now go onto play at Wembley in the Semi-Final. of course White Hart lane will "be no more" next season.

The first was on 9th February 1901 against Preston North End in an FA Cup 1st Round tie, with Sandy Brown contributing his goal in a 1-1 draw in front of 15,223 fans. Tottenham beat Preston away 4-2 and then beat Bury (in those days a decent First Division side), Reading, WBA and Sheffield United in the final winning the cup as a Southern League club in front of 110,820 crowd at Crystal Palace (2-2 draw Brwon scored 2) and then 3-1 (Brown scored 1) at Burden Park attendance 20,470.

Tottenham Hotspur originally played at Tottenham Marshes, then Northumberland park before the land was sold off and White Hart Lane was home.There was a friendly match first played at WHL against Notts County, at the time a First Division club on September 4th which Spurs won 4-1 with Tom Pratt scoring the first goal. I wonder who will score the last goal ever at WHL?

ps I have scored at WHL, a penalty at the right hand end as you come out of the tunnel! Ha ha ha....

Spurs joined the Football League, Second Division, in 1908 replacing Lincoln who were "relegated" in 1908 and rejoined the FL in 1909.

Here is WHL in 1899.
