NOT SO TREMBLY AT WEMBLEY.

I was overwhelmed by the brilliant performance of the SPURS last night as they dismantled Manchester United, but sadly not at White Hart Lane. Still the Wembley hoodoo seems to have been brushed aside and there were records broken or nearly broken.
The attendance at the rented National Stadium was 81,978 a Premier League record.
Christian Eriksen scored his 50th goal for Spurs, (Harry Kane did not reach his "ton").
The first goal was scored in 10.48 seconds, beaten only by Alan Shearer (Newcastle v Man City 2-0 10.4 secs Jan 2003) and Ledley King (Spurs v Bradford City 3-3 9.9 secs Dec 2000).
SOON Spurs will be playing at their new stadium, fittingly the last game at WHL was between Spurs and United and here's the programme-

The first match between the two clubs was played on 28th January 1899 when Tottenham played NEWTON HEATH at Northumberland Park. 15,000 watched an FA Cup Rd 1 draw 1-1 which then allowed Spurs to win the replay 5-3 at Bank Street, Clayton on February 1st. 6,000 watched. Both Spurs' Scottish brothers, Henry and Fred Erentz, played in the first game.

The 11th September 1909 was the date of the next game when Spurs played their first match in the top flight (First Division). 32,275 watched a 2-2 draw with goals scored from Bobby Steele's two penalties. It was the first use of the new Archibald Leitch designed West Stand at the Lane (see programme above).

Most other matches between the two clubs have been in the old Division One or the Premier League (from 1992) apart from a number of FA Cup ties, a UEFA Cup Winners Cup tie in 1963 (work that out), the Charity Shield in 1967 (3-3) AND 8 matches in Division Two between Sept 1931 and Feb 1938.
Overall United have won 89 times, Spurs 51 and draws 48.

I saw the two play on September 3rd 1960 at The Lane, the season of the Double and a couple of other times too.
