Last Season!
Spurs were favorites from the beginning of this
competition and also ad the advantage of not joining the competition until the 2nd
round! We were drawn at home vs. Crewe Alexandra and we strolled to a comfortable
3-1 victory against the second division outfit! Goals from Armstrong, Ginola and
Leonhardsen secured the victory! Our next match was a trip to the Cravern
Cottage away to Fulham! Spurs were once again favorites, but knew there was the
potential of a slip up! Spurs did slip[ up ad roared to an embarrassing 3-1
defeat! Goals from Hayles, Horsfield and Collins sinked Spurs to possibly their
lowest point of the season!
