Favorite Spurs Goal since 1975

This one also brings back some memories. FA Cup 3rd round replay away to Man Utd, January 1980. Goalkeeper Aleksic is carried off with a broken jaw in the first half after being clattered by Joe Jordan. A young Glenn Hoddle comes on to replace him in goal. Paul Miller takes retribution on Jordan and gets sent off so we were down to 10 men. It goes into the last couple of minutes of extra time when Ossie summons the energy to score this cracker.

 
I was at this game and it reminds us all of the conditions real men had to deal with....plus this was Hoddle’s first full debut at 17 years of age proving that if you really are good enough, age doesn't matter.
