Spurs in History - 15th July

15th July, 1998

Pre-season games can be very deceptive. Players who make an early impression, frequently flatter to deceive. This was the case with our new Italian left back signed by Christian Gross.

On his debut in a six goal win at Peterborough, he scored the opening goal. From that point on it was down hill. In total he only played six times for Spurs and those performances were far from impressive. Injured in an early game, the appointment of George Graham further ensured he had no future at White Hart Lane.

Paolo Tramezzani was signed from Piacenza in June, 1998 and left mid-season the following year.

Spurs 1 Peterborough United 1 (aet) FA Cup 3rd Round Replay

Spurs won 5-4 on penalties.

Having survived the first game by scoring a late equalizer from Jason Dozzell, this Cup replay went to extra time and then a penalty shoot out, the first at White Hart Lane since the UEFA Cup Final win in 1984.

Spurs had taken an early lead through Nicky Barmby but once Peterborough equalized, the game remained deadlocked.

Ian Walker became the hero when he saved the fourth ‘Posh’ penalty, while Spurs scored all five from Caskey, Kerslake, Anderton, Barmby and Sedgley, to go into the next round 5 – 4 on penalties.
