Answer: European Cup Winners Cup
Tottenham handily beat Atlético Madrid 5-1 with diminutive Terry Dyson scoring the final goal with a 40-yard rocket. The Cup Winners Cup (open to the domestic cup winners of UEFA members) ran from 1961 to 1999, when it was subsumed into an expanded UEFA Cup competition.
The UEFA Cup (known as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup prior to 1971), is a second tier level competition, behind the UEFA Champions League. Spurs won the first (renamed) UEFA Cup in 1972, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2. At that time the competition was two-leg home and away final with Tottenham winning the fist game 2-1, the second game ending in a 1-1 draw (the UEFA Cup Final became a one-game final in 1998).

Answer: English teams were banned from playing in Europe
English teams were banned from Europe as a result of the Heysel Stadium disaster in Belgium in May 1985. Just before kick-off supporters of Liverpool F.C. rushed a section of the stadium where fans from the opposing team, Juventus, were located. Trying to escape hundreds of Juventus fans were crowded against a perimiter wall which collapsed under the weight, leaving 39 dead and hundreds injured. Unbelieviably, the game was not abandoned. Two days later UEFA banned all English clubs from competition in Europe for an indefinite period; the ban in fact lasted for 5 years. In that period 16 English club teams were excluded from all European competitions.
It took another tragedy, 4 years later at Hillsbough Stadium before all U.K. stadiums were converted to an all-seater set up and the removal of barriers at the front of the stands (perimiter of the field). An FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest saw 96 Liverpool supporters die when they were crushed against the perimiter fence. The match was abandoned after 6 minutes.

Answer: Gordon Durie
Tottenham had to wait until the third game of the season before they scored in the newly formed Premier League. A 0-0 draw away to Southampton was their first ever game in the Premiership, followed by a 2-0 defeat at home to Coventry City. On 22nd August, 1992, Tottenham faced Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane. Durie struck in the 16th minute, before Eddie McGoldrick and Eric Young put Palace 2-1 up. Spurs were heading for defeat before Steve Sedgley scored with two minutes left to earn the North Londoners a 2-2 draw. It would be the 6th game of the season before Spurs won their first game, with a 2-0 home win over Sheffield United. Tottenham finished 8th in the 1992-93 season, 25 points behind champions Manchester United.

Goalie Carroll misjudged the flight of the ball and caught it facing the goal with outstretched arms. 70,000 spectators and millions watching on television saw that the ball was carried by the goalie at least a yard over the goal line. The only two people who didn't see it were the referee and his assistant! Even bookmakers William Hill paid out to punters who had bet that Mendes would score the first goal of the game: a 20-1 bet.

Keane has played for all the clubs listed, and started out his career with Wolves in 1997. After 74 League appearances for the Midlanders, he moved on to Coventry for a year before Italy's Inter Milan saw his potential and put him on their books. Italy was not a productive time for Keane, and after 6 League appearances with no goals to his name in Serie A, he moved back to England with Leeds United, initially on-loan, then a permanent deal. Leeds' financial struggles were a key factor in Keane signing for Tottenham on 31st August, 2002.

From Quiz: Tottenham Hotspur FC
Answer: Scored a goal
In the game against Watford he took a free kick from just outside his penalty area. The Watford goalkeeper, Ben Foster, thought his defender was going to play the ball but it bounced over both the defender and goalie into the net - an 80 yard strike. This was the second goal of his professional career (his first was 2 years eazrlier for Leeds United in a League Cup match against Swindon Town).
With that effort Robinson became the third goalkeeper to score a goal in the Premier League. The first two were by Peter Schmeichel, for Aston Villa against Everton in October 2001, and Brad Friedel for Blackburn Rovers against Charlton Athletic in February 2004.
This was a complete contrast from 5 months earlier when playing against Croatia as England's goalkeeper in a Euro 2008 qualifying game. Robinson took an air kick at a harmless back pass from a defender and was stunned to see the ball roll into the net. England lost the game and failed to qualify for the following year's tournament.
