Great to see extended version of the game, one which I have very fond memories of. I think this match proved to everyone (including me) that Spurs were turning into a seriously good team. They'd been showing it in patches all season but were often let down by dodgy defending. Glenn's pass for the second goal is a thing of beauty and Garth Crooks was on fire that evening, Ricky Villa's beauty simply the icing on the cake.

What a night! I was stood in a packed North Bank. The attendance was 53,000; of which 45,000 were Spurs fans. Highbury hadn't seen an atmosphere like it in years.

So only 8.000 Wolves. Did Wolves have seats.

Nor at the Emirates.

I know Ricky’s goal in the final was one of the best but his goal here was very special too 😊😊

It never get's mentioned. Its world class. The final goal was too good I suppose...

Simon, Thanks very much for this double-look at this excellent Spurs side. Great night at Highbury as Ossie''s Wembley dream comes true. Marvellous performances from Hoddle, Crooks and Ardiles and great second and third goals from Crooks and Villa. Also Hoddle's strike v Liverpool.This was a replay of the semi-final at Hillsborough where thankfully tragedy due to overcrowding was avoided!

I'm a Pompey fan and was 11 years old at the time...what a great Spurs team that was. I remember wanting Tottenham Hotspur to beat Manchester City in the final!

Magical moments, when Wembley meant Wembley!! Only bettered by the replay that year. How Spurs could do with a Roberts, Miller type of player now? Real blood and thunder the pair of them #COYS

Great night on the North Bank ( as usual) was 18 now near 60 but remember that night like it was yesterday. Took half the pitch home with us lol COYS

Crooks 1-0 6:00 Crooks 2-0 17:40 Villa 3-0 22:25

Thank you, sir.

What a team we had.

An absolutely fantastic evening. On the pitch at the end of the game, and swinging from the chandelier in the Plimsoll. Recollect scum fans lobbing bits of concrete over the fence from the Avenell Road side earlier in the evening.

One of my favourite games ever what a night at the shit hole great atmosphere

At least the referee was not Clive, I want to be controversial, Thomas

You must be so proud of yourself! Typical spiteful Tottenham scum, with a big chip on your shoulder and an inferiority complex. Your club will be forever in Arsenal's shadow......and as for having a chicken for your emblem.🤣
