Nov 8, 2015 · Shortly after half-time, teenager Danny Hill seized upon an underhit Mark Flatts backpass and swept the ball across for young Scottish forward John Hendry to extend Spurs' lead.
Two years later he had a similar impact as Tottenham played rivals Arsenal at Highbury on the last day of the 1992–93 season; Hendry scored twice as Tottenham won 3–1, though Arsenal had rested players ahead of their participation in the 1993 FA Cup Final. [3]

There are rivalries that grow organically. There are rivalries that are created. However, once they have a life of their own there is no stopping them and a hundred years later we forget why we are rivals in the first place. For me, the Tottenham andArsenalrivalry is an obvious one as the grounds are close to each other. The name Henry Norris meant...
When he arrived at their South London home ground in 1910, Woolwich Arsenal were in financial dire straits and with falling attendance. Norris could say that a new home in North London would be preferable. Relegation to Division Two in 1913 helped his case for a move. He was able to rent a site in Highbury on the recreation grounds of St Johns Coll...
Whatever plans were going to be hatched it was all put on hold with the outbreak of World War One. The league was suspended in 1915 with some interesting statistics. When it resumed in 1919, that’s when a war of its own could have broken out. The decision to expand the First Division from 20 to 22 places was initially seen as a good idea. Sadly, ma...
How on earth did fifth-placed Arsenal get promoted and Tottenham get relegated in their stead? It seems that Norris and his good friend “Honest” John McKenna, Chairman of the FA, had exerted their influence. They canvassed every member of the FA except for the directors of Tottenham ahead of the meeting to decide who will fill that place in the Fir...
As an aside Spurs won promotion back to the First Division straight away and they went on to win the FA cup in 1921. This is the perfect response to a blow delivered by your local rivals. This pluck and determination continued until they were relegated in 1928. Their embittered fans had to watch the local rivals reach the dizzy heights of success f...
On the one hand, the idea of not overspending on players is a good thing but there has to be a way of building a squad. With Knighton’s sacking, the advert read: “Those who pay exorbitant fees in players’ transfers need not apply.” He appointed the manager of three-time champions Huddersfield Town, Herbert Chapman. At least this 5″6 talented Yorksh...
Norris also died the same year but he died in disgrace. Like all despots and dictators, the financial irregularities were to be uncovered. When Chapman said Norris had to spend money it had to be done to build a squad. Sunderland’s star striker Charlie Buchanan was valued at £5000. Instead of paying this fee, Norris gave Sunderland £2000 in cash an...
The first fully competitive derby match after Arsenal's 1913 move to north London was a First Division match that finished 2–1 to Tottenham, on 15 January 1921 at White Hart Lane.
Sep 24, 2023 · Arsenal did pull a goal back when Paul Dickov exchanged passes on the edge of the Spurs box to shoot home with 50 minutes gone, but Hendry was sent through on goal by Hill’s chip over the defence and the forward took the ball around Miller before slipping a low shot into the net in the 78th minute.
