This game and Sunderland away were the only games I missed that season. Brighton away was fun. The old bill were taking the laces out of our Doc Martins.

In the days of proper football, on muddy pitches , and players still running of the effects of to many pints from the night before....when hard tackling , and players were honest, not diving all over the place,....now the game is a money obssessed , over sanitized circus, with obscene money, manicured pitches, and players and agents squeezing the life out of the game.......I loved the tradition and nostalgia of going to the old grounds, with tepid beer, and a half warm pie at half time, ....there seemed a down to earth realism arround grounds in those days,....now grounds are being turned into lifeless bowls lacking identity.......miss the old days

Talking of 2 bob, was always a highlight smashing the goons to fuck in the northbank 1976 -1983 before the fences went up. The cozzers never had a clue as the goons got smashed to fuck. And at the lane of course yours were like church mice! You were always terrorised YIDS!!!

I love how unconcerned commentators used to be about deliberate goal line handballs in the old days, that would be an instant red card today. They're all like "Oh well, he had to do it". I remember a similar sentiment in the 1966 world cup match between England and Portugal when Jack Charlton did the same. When did they start sending players off for doing that?

That was when the 'professional foul' rules came in. Before that a defender could make a last-ditch handball without being sent-off, I'm not sure that they were even booked. A famous example, often cited at the time to explain the incoming rule change, was Terry McDermott punching the ball off the line in the 1981 League Cup Final, whiçh resulted in a penalty but no sending-off.

I remember seeing this match on "The Big Match" in 1978, I grew up in New Zealand and this was the only soccer...oops I mean football that we used to get, usually 2 weeks later than the actual match was played in the UK. I also think that Chelsea might have been second division in those days.

Isn't it an irony that Spurs keeper Barry Daine's was' within 5 years of this game' later to actually play for Mansfield? Ian Greave's lured him out of retirement after Rod Arnold got injured, he should've stayed retired really? but to be fair, he wasn't terrible every game, but he was way past his best. But i'll never forget that last game at home vs Wrexham we went 3-1 up and BDs keepin was woeful and we lost 3-4! and the next game saw the introduction of probably the best keeper too ever play for Stags, Kevin Hitchcock

Great memories from Spurs 1977/78 season in the old second division. Even now the old boys at spurs talk about that season with great affection. Proper football matches on mud baths for pitches against the likes of Mansfield, Fulham, Bristol Rovers, Cardiff etc. I would give anything to go back to that era rather than watch the Premiership bollocks now!

Indeed so, Jane. If associated to my reference above, the word 'Minster' means anything to you, and using your maiden name, then we were at the same school. In fact in the same form for a couple of years. Best Regards after 40 years! (If not, then still pleased to learn someone else enjoyed the game)

I remember watching this on the Big match on the Sunday after the game. I was a 14 year old Spurs nut. I often despaired at Barry Daines woeful keeping. The pitch was terrible even by 70's standards.! A few weeks after this game, we scraped a 1-0 home win Vs Hull City, which all but got us promoted & i ran on the pitch with thousands of others at the final whistle in pure unbridled joy...

That's when football was played by real men. Will never forget that season when we almost lost out on promotion having led the table for most of the season. A 1-0 against Hull on a wednesday night followed by a 0-0 draw on the final Saturday was enough to get back in the top flight.

went to this game on a fifty seater bus from Lincoln.Straight in the Mansfield end (which was a covered end) along with another hundred or so Tottenham.Spurs took thousands away that season.I went to Sheff Utd and Notts Co. and there was easily 5/6,000 Spurs there. Remember, this was in the days when football was a working class game.Fans couldn't afford to go every week!!

Thanks Frank. I was there too! Although a Tottenham fan I lived only 9 miles from Mansfield. At the time there was hysteria about Forest and I got such a ribbing at school when Spurs were relegated to Div 2. I have still never been to White Hart Lane, but that day was amazing. When Daines fluffed it and we went down 3-2 I thought it was all over, but stood right behind the goal as Hoddle equalised, I couldn't speak such was the excitement. A fantastic 'curler' which the TV couldn't show. Genius!

Thanks for posting this . I was there as a 13 year old Mansfield fan and it was the only ever season the Stags spent in the top half of the league , 1977-78. The draw was the perfect result for me tho as i was a big Perryman , Taylor n Hoddle fan from the Spurs.For the record it was on March 25th and the crowd was 12 ,106.
