Was watching on the tablet streaming on an app I have. When Lucas scored I went silent and put my hands to my mouth. My wife asked if I was alright and I kind of said "I think we've won it." It was about 10.00 and the stream was a couple of minutes behind. "Quick turn over to SSN I can't wait for the final whistle" "You've got the remote" I found it and switched over, adverts, "BASTARDS" then in Yellow BREAKING NEWS. On the stream it was still playing. Cut to Jamie Ohara, I could tell we'd done it.

"So does this mean Champions League isn't a load of crap and the FA Cup isn't more important, Coz you've always said...."

"I say stupid things and that was before we got to final"

"I'm going to bed I only stayed up because you'd have blamed me if I'd left the room and they'd lost like you always do. Goodnight..Oh you've had some texts"

I was in my living room having sent my eldest to bed at half time... When the final goal went in, I made a sound that Whitney could even hit... Shirt went off... Whilst screaming we have done it.. Before charging up the stairs and launched myself on my nine year old son whilst he was sleep... Screaming..... We HAVE Done It!!! I grabbed his head and he finally opened his eyes to be found lobbed over my shoulder running back downstairs in the living room shouting to him... YOU ain't missing this!

What I didn't realise was the Mrs was taking pictures of me through the whole second half and I looked like an utter knob!

Was in Schuim bar in Amsterdam with about 100 Spurs and a good few Ajax fans... the place went a bit Royal Rumble when Lucas got the winner, people up on tables, people swinging from the light fittings, one of my mates got put through a table and there seemed to be flying bar stools appearing from out of nowhere (I got hit by three!) all played out to a soundtrack of smashing glass and grown men screaming like excited schoolgirls.

The place would've needed a thorough clean and a hell of a lot of DIY after that night, I would've felt sorry for the staff had they not been a bunch of slow, mardy pricks who were a little too piss takey and smug when they were 2-0 up and who refused to serve drinks until you'd gone round collecting up glasses for them.

I've been meaning to find the time to post this for a while. My firstborn son arrived on the day of the match at 4:40pm London time by c-section, and I spent the next two hours with him and recovering mama. We transferred to a postpartum room about 45 minutes before kickoff and I was able to get a quality stream going on my laptop in the corner of the room. Blissed out and high on endorphins, I watched it with the sound off until Lucas's first goal, at which point the doctors came in and we were involved in conversations about caring for our newborn, my wife's health and so on. I was still getting texts and kept walking over to my laptop (which was facing the window, away from everyone else) to check on what was happening. When it went into time added on, I was checking every 30 seconds, watching snippets, until I'd just about given up. Next time I looked, it was to see a pile of green players in ecstasy in the corner of the pitch. In the circumstances, I had to scream in joy on the inside only. Mates wanted us to name the boy Lucas, which was seriously tempting. The timing was quite unbelievable, and he'll always have the story that he was born just a couple hours before one of the greatest nights in Tottenham's history.

It’s still so vivid in my head! I can still feel exactly that almost glacial rise in emotion as Moose hoofed it forward, Nando’s square, Dele’s pass and Moura’s beautiful stroke of the ball and the gentle, smooth slot into the corner. Then the release. It’s burnt, branded, etched deep into my memory.

“Oh, I say! Brilliant! That is schoolboy’s own stuff!”

Words that are etched into the memories of so many Spurs fans, including me.

Alongside that, Darren Fletcher’s, “Oh, they’ve done it! I cannot believe it!” (and JJ’s little sob in the background) will live with me forever.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to wipe my eyes and go and watch the highlights again.

How many times have you watched the highlights at this stage? I reckon twice a day minimum for myself

I was sitting in a parking lot watching the game on my phone. I had a game myself that night so planned to see the whole thing later without checking the result. Obviously I couldn't so watched the second half in my car, still in training gear. I screamed so much when Lucas scored so someone tapped my window asking if I was ok.

Watching with the sound off on a ropey feed for the first half that kept booting me off, I managed to finally get a decent feed just before half time. My eldest isnt very interested in football really but likes to know if spurs have won or not (she is a work in progress!) It was her bed time so i sent her off to brush her teeth while it was 2-1 and by the time she was done it was 2-2. She usually drags out bedtime for as long as she can but there was no way that was happening and for once she seemed to understand that i NEEDED to be infront of my laptop ASAP. When the 3rd went in I believe the sound that came out of my mouth may have woken a few dogs in the area! My wife just looked at me with a "WTF was that noise" look, to which she got the reply "i think weve done it, I cant believe weve actually done it!"

I then had to leg it to the chippy to get some tea before it closed as i had felt too sick to eat before/during the game!

I feel a bit bad for not letting/making my daughter stay up to see the end of the game, but when I told her the result in the morning all i got was "Oh, thats good" so the moment may have been wasted on her anyway!

I was letting the cat out of the front door after he’d been meowing and pawing it like mad for 5 mins in desperate attempts to be let out. Verts header/shot hadn’t gone in and I thought that was our last chance so gave in to kitty’s pleading. Only for my Spammer housemate to scream “Moura has scored!” as I turn back after closing the door again. Unfuckingbelievable!

Sat on the sofa last night & my wife looked over and said “what’s on your phone that’s making you look so happy”
“Lucas’ last min winner against Ajax”
“Again??!! Do you just keep watching it again and again”
“Yep!” ?

I was on the way to Kona Kai, a pub just outside Stamford Bridge with my 5-a-side football team (called Ajax Trees), we'd just finished a match at 8pm and were hot-footing it to the pub about 10 mins away. Checked my phone on the way there to see we were already 1-0 down, nearly turned around and headed home but my team talked me into still going to watch it.

The pub was fairly quiet, pretty sure I was the only spurs fan in there, maybe 20-25 Ajax fans. At half time I switched from diet coke to a beer, breaking my month long streak of no-alcohol. Also ordered a pizza for some comfort food (was actually half-decent).

When Lucas put the first one in I didn't even react, it was already over in my mind. When the second one went in I jumped up and made a noise not dissimilar to a gibbon on heat.

I don't remember exactly what happened when Lucas, the little fucking magician, put the third one in. Mostly, it's all a blur of jumping, screaming, hugging and crying. My 5-a-side team, one an Arsenal fan (but a decent one), one a Man Utd fan, one a Liverpool fan, one a Palace fan, and me, all celebrating together and getting disgusted looks from the Ajax fans and the establishment owners alike. Magical night.

Then I got on the tube to Victoria and headed home to Kent, still not really believing what i'd just seen, watching highlight reels and reaction videos the whole way home. Couldn't get to sleep until 3am.

I was at home in Bushey with my 14 year old son. At half time he was pissed off and went for a run. When he got back we had scored our first, he watched the replay and went to get a drink. Then I screamed, we've got a second and we both went mental.
When the third went in,for the first time in my life I just sat there with my mouth wide open and didn't make a sound until the final whistle, while my son was jumping round like a madman. Best father and son moment of my life, up there with 1984 at the Lane with my old man.

I'm going to whl to watch it with my old man and if all goes well it'll be great to celebrate it with him. Can imagine it'll be similar for him when we done the double back in 61' when he was was his dad as an 11 year old.
