It's north London derby time again this evening - and another hugely-important clash in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium (8pm UK).
Turn the clock back a couple of years, and 10 legends spanning 35 years and over 3,000 appearances for our great Club - with a whole host of derby experiences between them, joy and pain, delight and despair - gave us their favourite derby moment.
Here's what they had to say...
Clive Allen
“It’s a tricky one. I’d go for scoring the winner in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final at Highbury in 1986/87. Again, that was a massive game, gave us an advantage over the tie, the second leg ended 2-1 and we ended up playing a third game. We were in front until six minutes from the end, when they scored twice. The joy of scoring the winner at Highbury in the first leg turned to despair of losing that third tie. Crazy.”
Michael Dawson
“It has to be the 5-1 win in the semi-final of the League Cup in 2008. People ask me for my favourite moment in a Spurs shirt, well, beating them at any time, but 5-1 in a semi-final, White Hart Lane was bouncing when we went 1-0 up. One of my first derbies was the last one at Highbury, 1-1 in 2006. That was another big one, Keano scored, and we were on the up.”
Mark Falco
“My volley in the 5-0 win in April, 1983. That was special, because I they’d actually beaten us by the same scoreline at the Lane a couple of seasons earlier (December, 1978), it was good to get that payback and contribute with one of my best goals at Spurs. Also, scoring the winner in front of the North Bank to take us to the top of the league on New Year’s Day in 1985.”
Micky Hazard
“I has to be my first north London derby, April 1982, I scored an incredible goal - I beat three men and stuck one in the corner from 25 yards. We won 3-1 that day, I also made two goals and was Man of the Match. That’s hard to beat. Towards the end of my career, 1993, I got Man of the Match again at Highbury when we drew 1-1, Darren Anderton scored. I’ve great memories of the NLD, but that first one takes some beating.”
David Howells
“At White Hart Lane, the 1-0 win, Gica Popescu on target. Obviously, Wembley 1991 is the ultimate, but that one in 1995 was a proper, proper north London derby, Monday night, live on Sky, just a brilliant atmosphere. Any time we beat them it’s amazing, even going back to youth team days. I remember Chris Armstrong getting the winner the next season, Paul Allen scoring the winner in 1992, I was lucky enough to beat them plenty of times, especially at home, and each one was so sweet!”
