The fireworks were a taste of things to come as Glenn Hoddle's penalty in the ninth minute gave Spurs an early lead.  Ricky Villa hit another goal on the half-hour with a swerving volley from outside the box after Tony Galvin had crossed, then headed home Galvin's pinpoint cross on 40 minutes, before rounding off his hat-trick just after the interval.  Kenny Hibbitt had pulled a goal back for Wolves just before the half-time whistle.

A bullet header from Garth Crooks and a sixth goal from Mark Falco sealed a fitting way to mark the advent of the new part of White Hart Lane stadium.

Glenn Hoddle had a shot cleared off the line by John Humphrey, while Bradshaw did well to fist away the ball from Chris Jones.  Spurs were grateful to Ray Clemence as he blocked Norman Bell, when he was clean through on goal late on.

Spurs were robbed when, with seconds left of the regulation 90 minutes,  Kenny Hibbitt went down in the box under challenge from Glenn Hoddle.  There looked nothing amiss at the time, but controversial referee Clive Thomas pointed to the spot and the resulting penalty kick was stuck away by Willie Carr to give Wolves a replay.  

This had equalled the scores after Hoddle had converted a free kick awarded inches outside the box, when a penalty had looked the correct decision.  Archibald had struck to give Spurs and early lead, but they were pulled back by Hibbitt's goal.  The crowd was dangerously packed in that day and many Spurs fans complained of crushing at the Leppings Lane end of the ground and had to be moved to the opposite end of the stadium.

Spurs took the lead in the 27^th minute when Martin Chivers intercepted the ball and when John McAlle went it to tackle him, the ball ran to Martin Peters, who hit the ball past Phil Parkes.

Just after the break, a Frank Munro header flicked off Ray Evans and beat Pat Jennings to equalise, before Derek Parkin struck a free-kick into the net to make it 2-1 to Wolves. 

A deflected John Pratt shot fell to Jimmy Neighbour, who set up Chivers to equalise and then Terry Naylor made a winning goal for Chivers in the last minute of the game.

Spurs had the better chances in the first half against struggling Wolves, but failed to profit from them.  McGrath struck the post, Martin Chivers' over-head kick flew just inches wise and Ralph Coates' fierce shot was well saved.  It was in the 61st minute that the home team took their chance and Barry Powell converted to give Wolves the lead. Tottenham were well worth their equaliser, which arrived when Ray Evans and Chivers combined to present McGrath the opportunity to shoot home from seven yards with his right foot.

The home side took the lead through Alan Hinton after just four minutes of this Wednesday evening match and it took until the latter stages of the first half for Spurs to bring the scores level through Bobby Smith.  It was Smith who put Tottenham ahead in the second half and Jimmy Greaves added a brace, his second coming from the penalty spot for a handball, to wrap up a good two points for Spurs.

The first thirty minutes were goal-less, but Wolves went on the rampage with three goals in the next nine minutes, one a penalty.  The second half was little better for Spurs, as they let in another two, one more from a spot-kick, but a further penalty gave Spurs a consolation as Tommy Harmer netted for our solitary goal in the 1-5 defeat in which Ron Reynolds played particularly well despite conceding five !!

Les Bennett's header from Baily's cross had given Tottenham the lead in the 23rd minute and it wasn't until the 53rd minute that Wolves equalised.  Winger Johnny Hancocks was flying and his ball in was headed home low by Dennis Wilshaw.  In the next attack, Wolves took the lead when Jimmy Mullen's cross was met by Peter Broadbent's head and it flew into the top corner.

Len Duquemin pulled Spurs back level with an equaliser just before the hour, but Wolves' winner came from Hancocks, who drove home from a narrow angle with just ten minutes left on the clock.

Having had their train delayed, the Spurs side had to get changed in the carriage and got to the ground just in time - thanks to a police escort !!

When Tottenham eventually arrived, they did find a frozen pitch and a Wolves side that came at them from the off, with Ditchburn having to be alert to keep them at bay.  Tottenham's best attack in the first half ended with Harmer being upended in the box, but penalty shouts were dismissed by the ref.

The second half saw both sides continue to master the conditions and Spurs were denied by the linesman's flag when Duquemin and Walters both looked like scoring.  Tottenham lost the services of Bennett through injury, but he had to stay on, there being no substitutes in those days and in the end were grateful for the 0-0 scoreline.

It was 2-2 at the break thanks to goals from Les Bennett, who headed home a cross from Len Duquemin and then Sonny Walters shot home through a packed goalmouth.

The score-line ended up 4-2 to Tottenham as a foul in the penalty area on Duquemin in the second half allowed Alf Ramsey to put Spurs ahead from the penalty spot and the Channel Islander got on the score-sheet with a fantastic header late on.

With Wolves having the bulk of the first half chances, Ted Ditchburn was called into action more often than his counterpart, Bert Williams.

It took three minutes for the home team to go ahead, with Roy Swinbourne scoring with a header when he met Johnny Hancock's right wing free-kick. The closest Spurs came was with an Eddie Baily shot that bounced back off the post.

Ten minutes after the break, Hancocks hit the second, after being set up by Jimmy Mullen and a Ray Chatham deflection got a goal back for Tottenham five minutes later.

FA Cup holders Wolves came to London to face League newcomers Spurs and were met by a team set on making their debut in League competition a winning one.  With Bob Hewitson, Doug McFarlane and Robert Steel all making their club debut, it was a good day for a whole number of reasons.  Even Vivian Woodward appeared before the end of the cricket season ... a most unusual occurrence.  The only thing that didn't read the script was the weather, with wind and rain sweeping across White Hart Lane.

A goal from Woodward, after after six minutes gave Tottenham the lead when Walton's 20 yard free-kick was only parried into the path of the forward, who knocked it home from close range.  Another Lunn error shortly after left Woodward with a golden opportunity for the second, but he shot wide.

The second goal came after the half-time break, when Woodward notched his second goal, set up by "Ginger" Walton and then Spurs were on their way to a 3-0 win, with the final goal coming from Tom Morris - a bullet of a shot from 30 yards out that tore in under the crossbar.  Only good keeping by Tommy Lunn prevented Woodward from scoring a hat-trick in Tottenham's league debut.
