Sheffield United 6 Tottenham 0

[1973Blade]

With 5th Round games due to take place around 1st March, IF we beat Wrexham we will be playing Spurs almost exactly 30 years after we stuffed them 6-0 on 2nd March 1993!

Wow, I remember going to that, 30 years ago, that’s worrying as it seems like a few seasons ago

A sign we're getting older! From your user name I take it that you are a Sade fan?

The greatest moment of that game was Teddy Sherringham crying

I was there too. Spurs were woeful.

We actually scored a 7th goal at the Kop end.
We had an attack down the left (John Street side), we crossed it in and I think it was Alan Cork who tapped it in from 1 yard out.
However the ref said the ball had gone out of play just as it was being crossed in from the by line, so it was controversially disallowed.
Think the ref just felt sorry for Spurs as I think it was 5 or 6 nil at the time.

An interesting stat is Tottenhams biggest ever defeat is 7-0 by Liverpool.
So if the Cork goal has stood we would have been in the Spurs record books as joint club that handed out their biggest ever defeat.

True story. I went to that game when I was working in London. Got a lift to the game by the local snooker hall manager and his mates (all spurs fans) and genuinely didn't expect them to be waiting for me to give me a lift back. To there credit they did, I'm not sure I would have.

Well done on that I am indeed mate, born in 1967 so my music taste is from the 80’s, and it was one of my favourite albums of the time, sort of late night driving music and a go to album if I want to just chill out.

Definitely a sign we’re getting old, 30 years ago gone like that, I remember the match, I seem to think it was one of the seasons me and my pal were on the Bramall Upper, a night match from memory, one of those nights where everything went right and a complete shock at the time. Thanks for that, I’ve enjoyed watching it still not sure about the 30 years thing though

Bollocks! I was certain you were a Waddle/Hoddle tribute act.

Glenn Hoddle isn't the only former England manager to have a top 40 hit...

I await with interest the Warnock mix

Haha, that’s click bait, press play and I’ll never sleep with that god awful tune in my head SouthEssexBlade strange how I can remember some things really fondly and then there’s things like this that I’m now struggling to forget

 

[Northyorksblade]

I've mentioned this before. My daughter's boyfriend's dad at the time was a Spurs fan. I got him a ticket and he drove us to the game. He was a right posh pompous bugger. They lived in Collingham for anyone who knows the Harrogate area. Anyway, I digress. We all sat together on South Stand. Don't think I've enjoyed many matches more. It was a very quiet drive back to N Yorks.
Ps My daughter finished with the lad soon after.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Look Leeds commentator said Simon Rodger scored our 6th.... muppet.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

I was there that night! Amazing experience. I remember us singing "Terry what's the score Terry Terry what's the score". I think. I was young(er).

I have quite a few Spuds supporting mates here in Melbourne and none of them remember it unfortunately.

 

[Revolution]

That game was on my 20th Birthday. I was not there but when I slipped away from my birthday do at Uni to check the score it was the icing on the cake!

 

[Whiston Blade]

Alan Cork hit me with a shot over the bar in the pre-game warm up, my dad kept hold of the ball for me. Never took it out when playing football with my mates.

I was on the kop behind the net about two rows back and there was nothing wrong with Cork’s goal. It should have stood.

I remember it was wet or had been during the day and I didn’t fancy the drive to Sheffield for a night match, but my 12 yo daughter was keen to go so we did. She still reminds me what I nearly missed !!

 

[Sheffsteel]

I was on the Kop too quite close to the corner flag near the John Street side

and it was one of those.....where half the ball goes over the by-line before it's crossed in.
The linesman was at the far side of the pitch (near the South stand) so wouldn't have had a clear view.
I also thought Corks goal should have counted....I think it was 5-0 at the time when it was disallowed.

I see what you mean:

What a night that was , great atmosphere too on the west terrace .
We’ve actually got a great record against Spurs at The Lane last 30 years

 

[Yan The Man]

Was on the John Street West Terrace that night belting result,and what made it even better was Chris Waddle was in the Bramall Lane Upper with the Spurs fans

 

[Nearly Jimmy Hagan]

I was on the Kop for this game, it was the week of my 30th birthday.
Blimey, half my life has zoomed by, bloody hell!

Blimey, half my life has zoomed by, bloody hell!

I was a wee 16 year old who thought we were about to cement ourselves as a premier league force for the rest of my life. Too young to acknowledge the cycle of life for a blades fan!

 

[JJ Sefton]

The Spurs fans I was at school with said it didn’t matter because they were focused on the Cup quarter final. When I pointed out that we had a Cup quarter final coming up ourselves they went quiet.

Here’s the full match, weird night…

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

My first memory of watching the blades, thank you
