Road to Wembley:
3rd Round v Millwall (a) Draw 0 - 0
Tottenham faced a difficult game against 2nd Division London rivals, Millwall, at their compact, hostile and muddy ground, The Den. Spurs had chances to win but were relieved to return to White Hart Lane for the replay the following Wednesday evening. Pat Jennings ensured that would happen with a number of important saves to earn the scoreless draw.
3rd Round Replay v Millwall (h) Won 1 - 0 Gilzean
Millwall made it difficult for Spurs in the replay at White Hart Lane and saw two chances cleared of the Spurs line. Only a goal scored by Alan Gilzean separated the two teams and that came when Jimmy Greaves intercepted a back-pass to the goalkeeper who blocked his shot but the ball fell to Gilzean to knock in to an empty net. Millwall had incredible support that night at times almost making it sound like a home game.
Thousands were also locked out from the ground which was at capacity.

I was supposed to be doing that. My school mate and his Dad were calling for me @ 6am and I asked my Dad to wake me before he went to work on the Saturday morning @ 5am (he was a ganger on a building site). I wake about 9am and well pissed off he didn't wake me up. However, he returns about 11am and says "come boy!"; "where we going Dad?"; "to Millwall to get some tickets". Me sulking "they won't have any left Dad". Anyway off we trot to the ground and meeting fellow Wall coming back and all saying "you won't get a ticket now mate". Dad just smiles and me still sulking. We get to the ground and queued for 5 mins and got two tickets! Happy days.
Still miss him after 47 years!

Anybody remember the Jackpot tickets? My Dad sold loads of those every week in pubs in the Old Kent Road. His reward ? Well it included a Spurs home ticket, no queuing for me haha.
Was at both games.
Lucky to get into WHL for the replay, thousands locked out.
With a little bit of luck could have won either game but it was not to be

I lived in Edric Road, just around the corner. Went to the home game, but was nearly nearly crushed trying to get into White Heart Lane. Lock out with thousands of Luther Millwall fans. Gutted to have to travel back to New Cross without seeing us play. The result top off my miserable night.
