Spurs in History - 28th October

28th October, 1972

Manchester United 1 Spurs 4 (1st Division)

An exciting score line with all of the goals being scored by Martin Peters. Spurs had lost all of their previous nine League visits to Old Trafford but they over turned that record in style.

United were having a poor season and although Spurs form to that point hadn’t been great they managed to put on a stylish display that day to win comfortably. Mike Dillon made his debut alongside Mike England in central defence, replacing the injured Phil Beal.

This was Spurs second away win of the season and Martin Peters had taken over as captain at the start of the season, Alan Mullery having been transferred to Fulham.

Team: Jennings, Evans, Knowles, Pratt, England, Dillon, Pearce, Perryman, Chivers, Peters, Coates (Neighbour)
