Just searched YouTube and found a couple - end of the game in this

And a Spurs fan sums up the game. Very complimentary about the Town

I work in media evaluation, which means I can call up any channel from the last few weeks and watch it. Can't record, unfortunately, otherwise I'd put the Sky footage up myself. From what I've scanned so far (about 4 hours) I can tell you there were a few clips shown yesterday - a 30-second bit featuring both our goals, and a minute-long one with the teams running out, our two goals and an interview with our esteemed chairman

 

Has the club asked Sky for the footage yet? Perhaps it could be shown in the Butler Bar.

 

Brilliant night on Tuesday - well done everyone!

Brilliant night on Tuesday - well done everyone!

 

Wednesday, even

[Pretty Vacant]

It was also great to see familiar faces in Steve King, John Tone, John Docker, Mick O'Sullivan and John Bishop at the match as well.

[Enfield United]

Wonderful positive comments by everyone, except for poor old Papa who does'nt know what he's talking about and has difficulty in identifying facts and good ETFC spirit, but then again he is not an ETFC fan.

 

More important is today's away game at Chatham, let's hope Steve brings the boy's back down to earth from Wednesday with a ruthless 3pts, nothing must be taken for granted, the supporters, new and old now expect.

[Enfield United]

Sure Im not the only one not wasting my money tonight. A very weak Spurs team;

 

Miles; Fredericks, Yeboah, Stewart, Bostock; Ceballos, Parrett, Luongo, Townsend; Falque; Obika.

Pretty boring so far 0-0. I will go for a final score of 4-0 to us.

 

Looks like your on your own with that opinion.

 

crowd just under 1000

 

Good crowd if true and loads of £££££££££££££££££££££££££££ to fund our promotion push.

 

I thought it was more than a 1000. Yep loads of money.

[Enfield United]

2-1 up on the hour Ewang and Hope after Spurs took the lead

 

My mate has just text me (Spurs fan) not happy about paying £10 to watch an under 14's team! I did tell him. Come on the Towners!!!

 

 

Looks like your on your own again. And we know your lying when you say 'My Mate'.

 

You are maintaining your 100% record of being OUT of Touch and probably an 1893 member.

 

How's that song go 'All by myself, I don't want to be all by myself.....................................'

Again thanks Mr End! Superb for us exiles!

[Bush Hill Parker]

I have enjoyed the posts & video; may I second JC’s vote of thanks on behalf we exiles. Bit surprised by the negative comments about the strength of Spurs team; surely no one seriously expected them to risk first team squad players! All in all that was a fairly useful Spurs side with 5 players with Europa League experience this season and it would normally have been too good for a Ryman Division 1 team so all credit to ETFC.

 

I didn’t make this match but I was at previous rather special Enfield v Spurs match: 10 October 1962. Floodlights inauguration Match at The Stadium, Southbury Road, Enfield. Attendance 10,000 (Ground record).

HT score Enfield 0 Tottenham Hotspur 2 FT score Enfield 3 Tottenham Hotspur 2

 

The Enfield Gazette’s report is reproduced on p.90 of Alan Diment’s book; “Enfield received a football lesson” in the first half but came from behind to win - sounds familiar. According to the report “Spurs got a moderate hammering” !

 

Probably a stronger Spurs team that night but I guess the Enfield team of 1962 would have been of Conference Premier league standard had it existed then.

 

Just wondered if anyone else reading this was there that night? Is it really that long ago? 49 years and 1 month later and Enfield (Town) again come from behind to claim North London bragging rights – Tottenham’s bogey team?

[Tom S]

I'm sure Medders was there in '62.

[MTHead]

I was there too, a great night was had by all. Where did all the years go? No doubt about it, the EFC side would have walked into the Conference or is it just me and some wishful thinking. I suspect that the passage of time plays tricks on us older folks.

[DerekR]

Count me in for both matches too..

[OldTowner]

Proud to record - I also attended BOTH games.

[Steph]

My mum and I were also at both matches. Sadly my father couldn't make this seasons but may be there Saturday.

[Enfield United]

I was'nt born yet.
