Iconic Spurs Moment- Special to you

[onthetwo]

Crying Italian commentator. Lol

is that the ladbrokes guy? If he ever came to a game i think id hand myself over to the Police otherwise i would strangle him, and im not a violent man.

Lots of iconic moments, but one that really sticks out for me is Autumn 2006 when we finally beat Chelsea (after 20 years or something daft). Had to come from behind and Dawson's header for the first goal was a bullet. His celebration immense. Keane then left Boularhouz literally on his ass on the left wing and crossed it for Lennon, who after a sublime dummy poked the ball home. That game had an amazing tackle from Ledley on Robben who thought he was clean through and we survived a late assault from Chelsea which included Robben curling a 25 yarder against the post.....but we won. Took the smug look off Mourinho's face and gave us credibility once more against Chelsea. It started a run of about six years of home games where Chelsea could not beat us in what they formerly joked was 'Three point lane'. I felt a few inches taller the next day in work.

Ricky Villa. That goal. Nothing else comes close.

Especially considering I was behind the goal screaming "Shoot you bast....aaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhh" then being flung around the top tier at the Wembley with thousands of manic Spurs fans tossed like chaff in the wind.

I was there with you Kev and yeah, this is the moment for me. When he sold that dummy even I went the wrong way!!!! Crazy crazy times. The Semi Final replay at Highbury was mad too.

both those occasions have to be mine too

This would have to be my second after the European Final.

For the younger members who may never have seen this awesome moment:

 

[Gassin's finest]

Many highlights in my 25+ years of following Spurs, the standouts being:

Lifting the FA Cup in '91
Klinsmann's debut
Ginola's goal against Barnsley
Anderton's goal against Leeds
Allan Neilsen's diving header to win the League Cup
Dimitar Berbatov's goal against Charlton
Paul Robinson scoring
Jonathon Woodgate's head to win another League Cup
Robbie Keane searching for Berbatov after winning said cup, tears streaming from his eyes.
Gomes' saves to get us the Champions League
Gareth Bale decimating Maicon
Gareth Bale all this last season

But #1 for all my life will be Gazza's freekick against Arsenal at Wembley.

 

[Rupstoh]

This from TV back in 1979 v Man Utd, pure football link-up with Ardiles, gives me goose bumps.

And then this, because it was my first game at WHL, route-one, but still a great (and similar) volley which shook the ground

 

[Gbspurs]

No-one said Crouch scoring the winner against Citeh in the "champions league playoff"? I know it's relatively recent but a truly incredible moment.

The compilation video for that season (the one set to the Florence and the Machine song) has me smiling the whole way through and catches that moment perfectly. Haven't seen it in a while as I struggle to find it though!

 

[leffe186]

Yeah, most of them covered here. Villa, Gazza, Hoddle vs Oxford, Roberts' equalizer. A few more personal faves:

Hoddle vs Watford.
When Ardiles hit the bar from, what, 2 yards just before the Roberts goal. I was 11, and that was just about the worst moment of my life at that point.
Nielsen's goal in the CC Cup. I'd long since given up any hope.
Graham Roberts taking out Lawrie Sanchez, then getting sent off while on the stretcher. That whole game against Wimbledon was the angriest I've ever been at a football match - the dirty fucking bastards. The ref would have been torn apart by the Shelf.
Chris Hughton (or was it Danny Thomas?) literally tiptoeing up behind Bryan Robson and taking the ball off him when we beat Man U 4-0 (or whatever it was) at the Lane.
Scoring three goals in the first eight minutes against Oldham because their keeper couldn't take a goal-kick to save his life.

But my two iconic moments are that little smile Hoddle gives after he scored the ninth (?) goal against Bristol Rovers - I can't express how much I loved Hoddle as a kid - and the Stalteri goal against West Ham. I don't know why, just something about the way you see him at the bottom of the picture legging it, as we make the break. Gets me every time. And I HATE West Ham.

I think for me personally, it would be the 1-0 win away at City that won us 4th and a crack at the Champions League. I had tears that night. After all the shit at school for being a Spurs supporter, the last few years have been great and it started that season and ended the season with that Crouchie 'header'.

That's definitely up there for me, unforgettable.

Seems to be popular but I can't look beyond Gazza and that free kick and semi final in 1991. In fact I remember every game of that cup run. It was only one cup run but it just felt so epic.

Loads of moments over the years but a couple that stick in my mind were both at Selhurst Park.

The first was a league cup semi-final against Wimbledon when Iverson scored the only goal. Not a good game really but what sticks in my mind is that even though it was the away leg we took over the whole damn stadium and at the end there was a pitch invasion with all the fans chanting "spurs are back, spurs are back!(we blatantly weren't and it was yet another false dawn) but it seemed a big moment at the time.

The other was when we were in a bit of relegation trouble and Kinsman scored 4 and we beat Wimbledon 6-2.

Loads of moments at WHL but I don't think I'll ever forget the 9-1 a few years ago.

 

[giggleberry]

Klinsmann introducing himself to the spurs - spurs 4, Sheffield Wed 3 - and THAT diving celebration! I still have that season's highlights on VHS!

 

[wishkah]

i managed to get a ticket to the CC final against Chelsea, i was sat in the away end all game and when Woody scored i just lost the plot and went mental. By time the final whislte went most of the Chavs had left and i'd found the other pocket of "casually dressed" fans and we just were jumping up and down. We moved towards the spurs end for the lifting of the cup (why not, noone else was there). Talk about the disney feeling.

 

[Spurs in Belgium]

This.

I was 14 and I was there:

Best game ever for lots of different reasons for me.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

West Ham 3-4 Tottenham

Always comes to mind when i think of favorite moments etc

 

[Fitchspur]

Kaboul's winner in the 85th minute at the Emirates. I nearly fell off my chair and then gave half my family a heart attack cause I shouted so loud.

Nothing controversial here, but...

First memory - 91 cup final - hadn't watched much football, but at my primary school you pretty much *had* to be Spurs - so I was... The Enfield Independent had built up the match... Watched the game and the deal was sealed - don't actually remember the game that well, remember despair as Gazza went off & we went behind and joy at winning....

Best moment ever: Beating the goons 5-1 - it never happened against them... Always got lucky breaks, always got away with it... Not that time - fuckin 'ave it!

Most Spurs moment... Probably Bale vs Inter at the San Siro - we lost the game, but to go from utter despair to hope with a Bale Thunderbastard hat-trick... Bittersweet Ecstacy

Other moments that made me

Klinsmanns belly skid-celebrated goals
Losing to Everton at Elland road - worst moment ever?
Finding out from dodgy delayed text alerts that we *hadn't* beaten City 3-0 in the cup
That 5-4 game with the goons
Pendro Mendes' winner at OT
Rocket Ronnie's hat trick
Fuckin' Lasagne
Teddy missing penalty at WHL in first United game
Last minute winners against the Spammers...

 

[Mr Pink]

Most have been covered that I would of mentioned. But beating the European Champions 3-1 at the Lane in our debut season in the Champions League was truly special IMO. The quality of the opposition and to do it in the manner we did was truly awesome.

The moment for me was Bale running the length of the pitch, knocking the ball past Chivu (think it was him) then running the other side of him leaving him sitting and then squaring for Pav to finish left me in a state of shock. Couldn't believe what I had just seen - nor could Figo apparently, that speaks volumes. Destroyed the European Champions and just look at some of the players they had in that side.

 

[Jody]

In no particular order.
Dawsons header against Chelsea, Pure passion in his celebration. Love that guy.
Beating UTD this season at OT followed by Clints equaliser at home (especially after the off/on/off/on with the snow).
The CC winner from Woody.
Winning the 91 cup final on my 13th birthday. Best present ever.
