I remember the game well, it was only my 2nd visit to ER (I was 11 and living
in Carlisle, so my Dad drove me down).
20th October 1979 - Paul Miller was dismissed in the 27th minute, Barry Daines
went off with an injury and Hoddle took his place in goal.
Ray Hankin scored for us - Gerry Armstrong and Chris Jones for Spurs.
Teams:
Spurs - Daines (Pratt), Hughton, McAllister, Yorath, Miller, Perryman, Ardiles,
Jones, Armstrong, Hoddle, Villa
Leeds - Lukic, Hird, Hampton, Flynn, Greenhoff (Chandler), Madeley, Gray,
Cherry, Hankin, Curtis, Entwistle
Crowd: 25,203
We'd also lost the first game I ever saw at ER 2-1, to West Ham in 1978 (31
years ago yesterday in fact) with Lorimer missing a penalty and Alvin Martin
getting the Hammers winner, Arthur Graham scoring for us. The only consolation
- we wouldn't lose to West Ham at ER again that century.
Not the best of starts so the Orient game is merely a continuation of the
disappointments which are occasionally interspersed with stabs of hope ...
