UEFA Cup Success - Tony Parks, the Super Hero
23rd May, 1984 v Anderlecht [UEFA Cup Final (2nd Leg)] Draw 1 - 1
 |
| 1984 UEFA Cup Winners |
Coming to the game all square
at 1 - 1 after the away leg Spurs found themselves a goal down and it
took an equaliser from stand-in captain Graham Robers to take the game to extra time and penalties.
Roberts
led by example scoring the first penalty and Tony Parks saved the first
Anderlecht penalty. Mark Falco, Gary Stevens and Steve Archibald all
scored as did the Anderlecht players. At 4-3 in Spurs' favour, Danny
Thomas saw his shot saved. The next man for Anderlecht was Arnor
Gudjohnsen, father of Eidur, who had replaced Frank Arnesen. Parks dived
to his right to save and then set off in celebration around White Hart
Lane.
In what was Keith Burkinshaw's last game as
manager, Tottenham were without Captain, Steve Perryman, suspended,
Glenn Hoddle, injured, while Ossie Ardiles was only able to play a bit
part due to injury.
Team: Parks; Thomas, Roberts, Miller (Ardiles), Hughton; Hazard, Mabbutt (Dick), Stevens, Galvin; Falco, Archibald
