First game at White Hart Lane - 1986

Daisuk said:
brick, White Hart Lane has really evolved over the years. Does anyone know if there exist any books or videos or websites with brickloads of pictures of White Hart Lane over the years? Would be nice to see how it has evolved.

My first game was vs Villa in '99 (a week before the Worthington Cup final), 13 years old, we won 1-0 thanks to a late Tim Sherwood scrappy goal. Couldn't find it on YouTube. :(

There was a thread on the old board that was collating loads of old pictures of the lane through the years. It was brilliant to see the changes. I remember when the west stand was going up and you could see the high road from the shelf
 
3rd May 1982 Spurs 2 Liverpool 2.... threw away a 2 goal lead that day too! Steve Archibald and Steve Perryman for us, Dagleish and I think Nicol for them
 
my first game ( I think ) was West Ham at home 1994/95 when we beat them 1-0? Dani played for West Ham

or it was Spurs vs Southampton home FA Cup 1994/95 when 1-1 before the infamous replay 6-2. Whichever came first was my first game!
 
Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, 10 March 1962 no Youtube links to this but i remember it well, i was passed over the heads of those in front of me and down to the front of stand.

there was a fan website that had a good section on it about the ground changing over the years with a lot of photo's - can't remember the name of it though

Nice! Fantastic, thanks a lot for the link. :) Does anyone have the old photos from the old thread? Would really like to see the evolution of The Lane in pictures. :)
 
I remember that game Cliff Jones scored with a diving header from just inside the box, for a little bloke he was a great header and totally fearless

I would love to have been sent back in time for that

I'm pretty sure that's the west stand as was? I stand to be corrected, but I thought the ****erel was always on top of that, plus the poles aren't there. But yeah I would give my left nut to stand on the shelf again. Used to be an amazing atmosphere

The tunnel is on the side of the West stand, can't see it in the picture. Also, you can clearly see the commentators booth at the top. I thought there were ****erels on top of both East and West stands?
 
First was Spurs 0 Villa 2. 30/03/85


Clemence, Thomas, Bowen, Perryman, Miller, Ardiles, Hoddle, Crook, Galvin, Falco, Cooks, Sub Brooke



Posted these before - infamous Kodak Instamatic shots, taken from West Stand towards the Shelf:

No. That is/was the Shelf. And the poles ARE there.

I lost count how many times I got chucked out for having a knees-up right under the camera gantry.

Ahhh..........memories.

Yeah you're right. I stood there from 11 until I was 20. I can't believe I didn't recognise it! I remember being chucked out for swearing on Boxing day when we drew 4-4 with Southampton
