17.07.2011 | The Spurs
Legends side had to fight back from going behind 0-3 to come back in
storming fashion to win 10-5 at Ebbsfleet United FC against a side
representing the
Development of Pancreatic Cancer Research charity, who were managed by
former Spurs midfielder John Pratt. After only 18 minutes, the Legends were three goals down and only had an Andy Sinton shot that brought a good save from the keeper and a David Howells header that went wide to show for their efforts at the other end of the pitch. Mark Stimson got the team off the mark in the 35th minute, sliding in Glen Southam's cross, but within a minute DPCR had gone 4-1 ahead. However, Howells and Southam cut the lead to 4-3 by the half-time whistle. It took five second half minutes for Andy Sinton to cross for David Howells to equalise with a shot and from then on, Spurs were in control. Clive Wilson's cross in the 52nd minute was put into his own net by a DPCR defender and then right-footed efforts from Glen Southam and sub Micky Jarrett both found the net. There was 63 minutes on the clock when Southam played a ball over the defence for Sinton to run onto and score the eighth Spurs goal. With 12 minutes to go, DPCR reduced the lead to 8-5, but Jarrett's ball in was struck home from just inside the 18 yard box by Stuart Nethercott and having dribbled past two defenders, substitute Micky Southam, who came on for his brother, fired home past the goalie to make the final score 10-5.

27.03.2011 | A
high-scoring match saw Spurs run out 7-5 winners against the Friends of
Dan Newman in a game for the Cardiac Risk for the Young (CRY) charity. David Howells scored to give Tottenham the lead with six minutes gone, before crossing for substitute Dave McDonald to narrowly miss with a diving header. Howells was on the spot in the 18th minute to dink the ball over the keeper as he came out, when put into a good position by Mark Falco's pass. Friends got a goal to make it 2-1 and had a lucky escape when Clive Wilson lifted the ball over the keeper, but the ball bounced up onto the underside of the bar and out. Falco was also denied by the woodwork when he hit the outside of the post, but the upright assisted his 35th minute effort on the way in to make it 3-1 The second half started well for the Friends of Dan Newman, who scored twice to peg Spurs back at 3-3 with 55 minutes played. However, two Spurs goals around the 67 minute mark from a James Bunn header and a poacher's goal from inside the goalmouth by Micky Jarrett regained Tottenham's lead at 5-3. Then Steve Smart buried a 75th minute penalty given for a handball into the bottom corner and the score was brought back to 5-4 five minutes later. Bunn then added his second of the game, hitting a 25 yard free-kick past the keeper. A couple of minutes before the end, the Friends of Dan Newman pulled a further goal back, but the score stayed 7-5 until the final whistle. Teams : |
20.03.2011 | The
Spurs Legends took on
North London side Greenhearts at Ware FC and ran out 11-1 winners. Two early opportunities to open the scoring were missed by Garry Brooke before Mark Falco was unlucky to see a delicate chip beat the keeper, but not the crossbar, but he found the net in the 25th minute with a well-struck volley from David Kerslake's cross. Ian Walker left the goalkeeper's gloves and created Falco's second goal with a cross and then netted himself with a fierce half-volley. After half-time, Clive Wilson crossed for James Bunn to head home number four and then was only denied another goal by a fine stop by Greenhearts keeper Chris Cawthorne. Trevor Wilkinson scored to make it 5-0 and then a Mickey Jarrett double and another from Bunn brought it to 8-0 with a quarter of an hour to go. The visitors got a consolation goal, but Spurs finished strongly, with 11 year old Zak Johnson scoring from a Bunn cross before Clive Wilson scored and Jarrett's hat-trick goal made the final score 11-1.

Southgate County beat the Spurs Legends 3-2 at Potters Bar Town FC in a
keenly contested game.
The home team went 2-0 ahead early on through Ken Middleton (5 mins.) and Martin Payne (8 mins.), but Spurs pulled level when James Bunn's low 25 yarder ended up in the bottom corner of the net on 11 minutes and Trevor Wilkinson's instant control of Paul Moran's cross was followed by a shot from 10 yards that beat the Southgate County keeper in the 20th minute. Both sides could have added to the score before the break, but Spurs could not break through the County defence, even with Les Boughey joining the action, leaving the home team to grab a winner in the 65th minute through Ben Stones.

18.04.2010 | Spurs
legends travelled to play former Spur Andy Sinton's side Fleet Town in
Hampshire and were beaten 1-3 at Calthorpe Park. Spurs went close through David Howells and Les Ferdinand, but it was Espen Baardsen who took the applause as he kept Spurs in the match with some fine saves, but could not stop Fleet going ahead in the 34th minute. In the second half, Garry Brooke went close with a free-kick, but the home team went 2-0 up with 52 minutes gone. A penalty was converted by David Howells to half the deficit, with Baardsen doing his best to keep the score the same at the other end. However, Fleet finally broke through and made it 3-1, although a cross from Andy Sinton brought a late Tim O'Shea header that went just over. Teams : |

Spurs Old Boys beat Chalgrove School and won 9-1 at Copthall Stadium. Captain Martin Chivers allowed the opposition to play with 15 men, after the weather deteriorated and the game was so one sided. Among the goal-scorers were Mark Falco 3 and Steve Perryman, who scored with a low dipping volley and was man of the match. Teams : |
