Spurs in History - 1st August

1st August, 1992

Glenavon 0 Spurs 1 (Pre-season Friendly)

Little of note occurred on this day, bringing me to a match arranged as part of the transfer of Gerard McMahon to Spurs. Terry Venables as chief guest opened the new stand that the club had just built and Spurs set about winning the game with a goal from Vinny Samways.

A good passing movement between Nayim and Durie sent Samways clear and with just the goalkeeper to beat he side-footed home.

McMahon played against his old team mates and went on to make twenty League and Cup appearances for Spurs (including 8 as substitute), scoring once before being transferred to Stoke City.

Spurs and the Intertoto Cup

The third game of the Intertoto competition saw Spurs' under-strength team lose by two goals to one against Osters IF of Sweden.

The game was a home match but was again played at Brighton. The team consisted of young reserves and guest players signed on loan. The Spurs goal was scored by Gerard McMahon who later went on to make a few appearances in the first team and played for Northern Ireland at full International level.
