I guess it was a tribute to both teams, that they managed to produce such an exciting match, in rather difficult conditions. This was of course Spurs first-ever league visit to Field Mill, mainly due to their relegation from The First Division/Mansfield's promotion from The Third, at the end of the previous season. And I guess Glenn Hoddle's late equalizer from that free-kick proved rather vital in the final analysis, given that Spurs did eventually achieve promotion at the end of the 1977-78 season, though only goal difference over Brighton. Also I used to love Hugh Johns' rather unique style of commentary, informative, enthusiastic, also slightly witty, a true commentating legend.

I went to this match all I can remember was the hoddle equaliser. I only missed four games the whole season, it was capped off with a draw at Southampton to get us back up.

I lived in Mansfield for 2 years. Yidisha Boy....fond memories....anyway, Pissed it down all day, a few scraps in a few pubs, mostly Mansfield boys trying to make an impression, nothing major though, but what a match played in a Mud Bath....the Stags got a 1 - 1 draw at the Lane...so full credit to the Mansfield Boys.......Stags v Spires, if you know, you know.

I was there as a 13 year old and I still remember the sound of the ball slapping into the mud when the spurs keeper missed his kick. The game was less rarified back then.

If Matt green was playing back then, solid 7-3 victory to Mansfield

Didn't remember Barry Daines saving a penalty. Tough conditions. Great match. Love Hugh Johns enthusiasm!

No. I was there in the West stand. I was standing next to two Tottenham fans. I remember one saying: "This ground reminds me of the fifties" to which the other replied: "Yes, the 1850s".@@joemorgan636
