Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to avenge their 2–0 defeat at Old Trafford at the end of October when the two teams meet at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
With Spurs part of the select group challenging for the Premier League title these days, the matches between the two old rivals are again becoming more important.
In the ‘60s, their clashes were for many the highlight of every campaign in that era, simply because they both had some of the most exciting players in the world on show and both played a brand of free flowing football that was a delight to watch.
Two of the most famous meetings between the clubs came in the 1964–1965 season when Spurs won the fixture at White Hart Lane 5–1 and United won the return at Old Trafford by the same score. Jimmy Greaves’s wonderful goal in the Spurs win is still talked about today.
