Your memories of Spurs at home?

The last two seasons have been pretty sweet, but what are your more long term memories of home matches against those wankers?
Lasagnagate stands out for me, as does the windy 4-3 win in the late 90s.
A 2-1 victory in the Bond Scheme season is a very happy memory. The WHU scorers were those two legends Mike Small and Mitchell Thomas.

When we beat them 1-0 (fat frank I think) but Ian Pearce died. Didn't realise at the time how bad his injury was going to be, such a shame because he wasn't even half the player when he came back (even though he was twice the size)

Chim - wish I'd have known, I'd have nipped over there Sunday.
Was over Limehouse way as well. Hope they raised a good few bob anyway.
As for the front wheels, yeh it was like a broken record when we were on the move.
I'm sure we'll explain the figures to em in no uncertain terms on Saturday morning!

And after one of the 80s night games, them having to run the gauntlet all the way to Forest Gate station when the OB decided to take em there for some reason. Another good send off.
No wonder we was all fit as fiddles.

I've got a spurs mate who played in the Soccer Sixes (a load of bands playing football for charity) on Sunday at Mile End stadium. I was there to take pictures.
Him and his band were pissed-up by the time they played their matches and it just so happened that they were given claret and blue kit by the organisers.
They were pissed and fielded a couple of girls too and predictably got tonked. It was a good laugh though.
Another pal of mine said he'd seen a picture I took on Facebook (I don't have it as I'm strictly anti-social media) and the cheeky cunt had put 'unfortunately we didn't only look like West Ham we played like them too and got tonked 7-1'.
I rang him and had a bit of a dig and he texted me after with 'I've got a feeling I'm going to regret that Facebook post come the end of Saturday'.
I texted back 'no mate you'll probably be okay as your lot will enjoy the novelty of playing in a full stadium'.
I've waited YEARS to say that. How many Tottingham cunts did you hear say 'you'll never fill that stadium' between the time we were told we were moving there and actually moving there?
Now (and to their amazement considering they seem to think they're Real Madrid) they can't fill Wembley you'd think they'd know by now that West Ham supporters have long, long memories.

My first one was the 3-0 in 1983, and Cottee's first goal:

The 4-1 away was ecstasy. Morley with a couple, I think.

4-3 in the pouring rain. Another 15 mins of that downpour before k.o and we might have lost the fixture.
Terrific night.

my first memory at Upton Park was the debut of Tony cottee.smashed them 3-0..remember Brian moore interviewing him on the big match that night and my dad letting me stay up and watch it. I think the following year we smashed them again 4-1 with ray Stewart scoring a scorcher from a ridiculous angle..there was a few yids sitting in the east stand and they was getting grief.

I remember the "Bond Scheme" 2-1. IIRC, Mr fucking Gary boy-next-door Lineker starting a punch up after someone had up-ended Gordon Durie. I always thought he was a bit of a wanker before but that instance confirmed it for me.
And Mike Small, jesus, "West Ham's answer to Steve Bull" What a fucking endorsement that was.

The 3-4 in the Great Escape year was a great game and I think was the turning point of our season.
Never before or since have I come away from a game we have lost - especially to the Red Sea pedestrians - where I have felt so positive.
Players showed real fight, fans got behind them to the bitter end, Tevez got off the mark, Nigel Quashie got injured. Everything just came together that night and Curbishley superbly used that as a springboard to survival.

just looked we had 2 home games with them in the 70's on Boxing Day
The ones I was thinking of were in the 80's when we played 3 games at White Hart Lane Boxing Day
Nothing in the last 31 years tough
