With a night of European ahead, and Tottenham taking on Barcelona, the Spurs might take courage from their inspirational two legged victory over Glasgow Rangers on this day.
On October 31st 1962 Spurs were 5-2 winners at White Hart Lane in front of a 60,000 crowd.
The clip shows the 5-2 win and is worth watching just for the crowd shots,

Did you spot the Spurs goalscorers?
John White 2, Les Allen, Maurice Norman and an o.g. by Bobby Shearer.
The rest of the team:
Brown, MacKay, Baker, Henry, Blanchflower, Greaves, Medwin, Jones.
The 1st Round 2nd leg tie had been scheduled for the 10th December but was postponed due to fog!
On December 11th, the away leg, Spurs sneaked a 3-2 win at Ibrox where the Scots made up the majority of a 80,000 crowd. Bobby Smith 2 and Jimmy Greaves did the business in an unchanged team.
Tottenham went on to win the final. It was Spurs' fourth tie, having played in the First Round v Rangers, Quarter-Final v Slovan Bratislava 6-2 and Semi v OFK Belgrade 5-2. They met Athletico Madrid and won the final 5-1.
There have only been two "serious" games between the two clubs, but plenty of friendlies.
