This is the last time Spurs won on this day. Since then 6 League and Cup games have resulted in five defeat and one draw.
The 1960 victory was against Nottingham Forest in the 1st Division at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest 1 Spurs 3
Three of the heroes of next year's Double team were the goalscorers - Dave Mackay, Les Allen and John White.
In this pre-Double season, Spurs were challenging at the top of the League - from late November they had won 10, drawn 3 and lost 3 games. However, following this win at Forest, their form slipped ( W 3 D 2 L 4) and they finished third, only two points behind Champions, Burnley.
