Tottenham Hotspur are truly one of the greatest
ever FA Cup kings! Only the great Manchester United have achieved more success
then Tottenham in this competition as they have taken the crown a further two
times! Spurs have lost only once in the FA Cup Final, to Coventry in 1987, but
there has to be a time when all good things come to a halt, but Terry Venables
blue and white army restored faith in Tottenham's FA Cup history when Spurs beat the favored Nottingham forest in one the greatest Cup
runs in history!

Last Season!
Tottenham were very unsuccessful in last seasons competition
as they were knocked out after just two attempts! A 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane
saw the tie replayed at St James' Park, but all hopes of a victory were dashed
when 2 goals from Alan Shearer, and one each from Dabizas, Speed, Ferguson and Kieran
Dyer killed of Spurs and all hopes of a fixture at home to Sheffield united!
