Preston North End 2 Spurs 4 FA Cup 1st Round Replay
Having failed to win at White Hart Lane, Spurs were given little chance of surviving this F.A.Cup 1st Round Replay. However, for the replay at Preston, Spurs had an injured player returning, captain John Jones. Spurs looked a different side Spurs and played with greater urgency, going ahead within six minutes from a goal by John Cameron, their Secretary/Manager. Two further goals from Sandy Brown gave Spurs a comfortable half-time lead. Preston scored in the second half but Brown completed his hat-trick and although scoring again, Preston were well beaten and Spurs were safely through to the next round .
The first stage of a memorable and historic Cup campaign had been successfully completed by the non-League team - Spurs, the giant-killers were on their way.

Bert Bliss scored the other goal and Spurs also managed to miss a penalty while Borough scored from the spot.
