I preempted you frenchie, I thought you would want us to make this a great thread with our memories of the Den. It was a great little ground with an unbelievable atmosphere. That game was in 1989 and I went along.

Evening Dave...I was thinking on the lines of the Lane for you, the Boleyn for Tricky and John etc etc.
Anyway glad you enjoyed your cup final in ‘89

RESULT
Tottenham 2 -1 Arsenal

This was our Cup Final in '89!!

My happiest memories of the Lane are 5-0 win against le @rse in the League in 1983 and the UEFA Cup win against Anderlecht, on penalties, the following year.

Evening Gaz....there are many great memories but there are two that stand out but I just can’t decide which was the greatest so I Will give them in chronological order. The first was a FA cup 3rd round replay with Fulham in 1963/4 (?). We were in the old 4th division and Fulham were in the 1st division with players such as Johnny Haynes, Bobby Robson,*»Gentleman*»Jim Langley, Tony Macedo in goal and a young Rodney Marsh. We forced a 3/3 draw at Craven Cottage after being 3/1 down. The replay at the Den I will remember until the day I snuff it. It was an evening kick off with over 35000 fans crammed inside the Den. It was pissing down with rain through out the game and the noise was indescribable. If ever a crowd won a match then it was this one ! Fulham didn’t want to know and we won 2/0 with my hero in those days...Dave Harper....scoring one of the goals.
The second is when we established a new unbeaten home run of 50 odd games ( can’t remember the exact number). Again the crowd played their part as we were losing to Carlisle but we managed to win 2/1 with thunderous support roaring the team on.

The highest recorded gate was against Derby County of over 48000 fans.....Jeez it must have bedlam in the place.

This could be a good thread if the other members of this board post their answers to the same questions.. Cheers FL
