Tottenham 9 -1 Wigan - Behind The Goals

**Kerry_4711** · 11-22-2009, 06:27 PM

According to the BBC this was spurs biggest ever top flight win. I remember spurs winning a game 9-0 in the late 70's or early 80's. Not sure who the opponents were, Bristol Rovers maybe?

It was on match of the day so it was ''top flight''.

I do remember a player making his debut for spurs that day scoring 4 goals and he kind of disappeared from the scene after that. Can't think of his name.

Thanks bigjie. Unbelievable defending. If any of us did our jobs like that we'd be fired on the spot.

Absolutely correct mate, it was 9-0 and the match was played on the 22nd October, 1977 in Division 2, the opponents were Bristol Rovers.

not top flight then.

great result for spurs. If you give their players the space and time they can be dangerous but they'll probably go out next week and get duffed!

Harry Redknap certainly knows his players. Got rid of the wasters and brought Defoe back and look at where they are in the league. True they lack a bit of consistency but they will finish in the top 6 I am sure.

Wigan's players are to personally refund Latics fans who bought tickets at the DW Stadium for the 9-1 hammering at Tottenham on Sunday.

Wigan took a large following to White Hart Lane for the defeat, the second heaviest in Premier League history.

"We feel that as a group of players we badly let down our supporters yesterday," said Wigan captain Mario Melchiot via the official club website.

"This is a gesture we have to make and pay them back for their loyalty."
