Southampton 2-6 (aet) Tottenham 1995 (Rosenthal hat-trick)

Let's face it, Ronny Rosenthal is famous for two things: this hat-trick and, err, something else. Anyway, this was a fifth round replay from 1995. And it's a game that has become part of FA Cup folklore. Spurs went on to reach the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Everton at Elland Road. Here's Tony Gubba.

[@bjfc112]

what an amazing team it was. Sheringham, Klinsmann, Barmby, Rosenthal, Anderton, Carr, Sol Campbell, Popescu. Should have got more from that season

[@pompeyboy5501]

Michael Levy There’s 3 Pompey boys in the team.

[@davidclark5351]

Rosenthal was not amazing lol, just that one good game......

[@regevfil]

Came from the bench when the team didnt make two passes and scored hat trick lol come on

[@davidclark5351]

Jesus yes it was impressive, but..... THATS ALL HE EVER DID LOL

[@njclondon2009]

it was a relatively amazing season, we had a 12 pt deduction overturned, klinsmann was incredible, we defeated liverpool in the quarter finals, it all fell apart when we got smashed by everton 4v1. But it was a highlight season of the sugar era.

[@RonaldoIStheboy]

Grobbelaar definitely on the take for this game! 😆

[@TheRoger1978]

100%

[@marcogosatti5837]

We should of won the FA Cup that year. Done the hard work from coming back v Southampton & beating Liverpool the way we did at Anfield. Then to get hammered v Everton in the semi final who nearly went down that year was guttering. We never turned up in that game.

[@danielcowan8673]

I was at Leeds Uni at the time so only lived down the road from the game. I was the only Spurs fan left in my part of the ground with 10 minutes left, surrounded by 100s of empty seats.

[@garethfieldstead7547]

You never had a chance to turn up. What people forget from that season is if you took the results Everton got from the November when Royle took over we were a top six side. We beat Utd twice, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and despite getting beat played Blackburn off the pitch with a patched up side due to injuries.

[@thegingerlightbulb]

Ah back in the days before every match was streamed on the internet and people actually used to watch MOTD without knowing the result! RIP Tony Gubba and Alan Ball :(

[@1882Stu]

This was live on tv

i guess im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me

Live on Sky Sports but had to watch in pub. Days when having Sky in at home or in every room in house not an option then. 2000 footy at home for me.

[@bedojames]

The Brucie fiddle game with old pal Ronnie. What a game. COYS and Gubba rip on comms. Shame we beat Liverpool in qtrs but lost in semis. BRUCIE DEF ON ONE THAT NIGHT but still a legend.

[@monoelmono9476]

Bruce Grobbelaar on that sixth goal lmao

[@t2p]

Still a great hat trick.....

[@DartfordTown]

The oringinal Rocket Ronnie.

[@That_Random_Bloke]

I’m sorry but Grobbelaar’s performance in this game was just very suspicious

[@belshbelsh6962]

Watched it with a group of friends in a snooker club in Deal. Gutted at HT. Elated at the end. Phoned my girlfriends dad up after the game because she wanted to know the score. She phoned me the next morning. She said Rocket Raymond scored three didn't he. Laughing whilst writing this. Rocket Raymond? , it was Rocket Ronnie. Still laugh to this day. Will always be known as Rocket Raymond forever. But I surpose you had to be there to find it funny. Coys.

[@tHoMoR84]

Ahh childhood memories, I remember watching this as a 10 year old live. Loved Spurs as a kid. NFFC Fan!!

[@michaeldoherty5272]

Grobellar is diving out the way of goals and everything clearly match fixing

[@grahamgregson]

The only save Ian Walker made in his whole career @ 2:38 LOLZ

[@Olson50]

RIP Tony Gubba.

[@ledzeppelin3255]

What a LEGEND and what a game it was

[@WhoAreYA28]

bloody hell 6-2!

[@RICHTAYL]

RIP Tony, great comm. Unlucky Bruce - good attempt at a couple of the goals, but...just...couldn't...get...there...ca-ching....allegedly....

[@drtreg]

He took his hands away.

[@popmonika]

Grobbelar obviously had a few quid on a rocket Ronnie hattrick!! 😁😁

[@dazzajim]

I remember being at college in a lesson, and predicting the exact scoreline... weird! I miss the telepathy between Barmby, Anderton and Sheringham ... it was a joy to watch.

[@norwegianblue]

I was there! In the away supporters’ section. What a game

[@chriselia4827]

I was at this game. 13 days b4 my 19th! COYS!!!!!!!

[@steverobertsmusic8019]

TONY GUBBA RIP

Shame we didn’t produce such a performance on Saturday sigh 😳

[@adwilshe]

Thanks guardian for bringing me here! RIP Gubba! Is it me or do the goals look a little wider than they are now?

[@bluespyusa8979]

No the goalies were skinnier back then... XD

[@guillezorro]

It was filmed in 4:3 but being shown on a 16:9 screen here on YT

[@danielcowan8673]

Grobelaar must have taken a bung for this one.

[@martinemery1834]

villa scored the greatest cup goals one against man utd and one against man city in living memory while gasgoing was ok lineaker was only world class

[@Coverly]

Was this one of the games that Bruce fixed, sure as hell looked like it?

[@bigmicky71]

I'm a Spurs fan but it did look very dodgy from Bruce I think you could be right

[@johnoshea470]

Grobellaar was a dreadful goalkeeper

[@jamesdoyle3885]

Grobelaar was like a computer game

[@molbyj159]

You needed to do your homework because before this hat-trick he scored one for Liverpool. That one would rank higher than this one because it was on his full debut!

[@shropsiberian]

Yes, away to Charlton 1989. Liverpool won 4-0 & Ronnie scored the perfect hattrick. Left foot, right foot & a header 👍🏻

[@ravidlevy832]

Rosenthal>Bale

[@njclondon2009]

4 times champions league winner vs a guy who hasn't won anything. i bet you feel silly now?

[@stephenwelford1143]

Great result.

This was before we nicked their song lmao...

What a great night

[@user-yb5yh1qy6u]

Once there was good football when we were kids...

[@iwgp4nagata]

Grobbelaar behaved extremely dodgy in this game.

Best Spurs player in living memory... that's right, Darren Fucking Anderton

[@71brett]

Certainly does for Ronny's third goal.

[@manuelodabashian1089]

Amazing wasn't more successful!

[@baggy79]

My best away game

[@noamzacks3315]

The best player out of Israel EVER

[@adambaker8689]

To be fair, not a great deal of competition... better than Mordechai Spiegler?

[@noamzacks3315]

@@adambaker8689 Different generations,but still i say,better.Spiegler had a long career in Israeli soccer and some(not a lot)abroad(even with Pele in the USA).Rosenthal was better in Israel and abroad

[@Pun1Sh3r_360]

@@adambaker8689 No, he wasn't an exceptionally prolific striker outside of this one game & his debut so no he wasn't better than Mordechai Spiegler this dude is probably a relative of Ronnie himself on a YT account LOL he wasn't better than Eyal Berkovic, nor was he better than Eli Ohana, or Nahum Stelmach, & if we are counting keepers he wasn't even better than Ya'akov Hodorov

[@Klaaarke]

@supahdupahguy81 think this was after the fixing allegations mate - could be wrong!

[@RobertSteers]

Dodgy keeper... he must have had money on the game.

[@adebolabloke6962]

Any idea why the Tottenham fan sitting with the Southampton fans dressed in White jumps up for the first 2 goals but not the 3rd?

[@hititandquitit69]

so how did Spurs do against Liverpool?

[@robd1381]

Won 2-1 at Anfield. Amazing goals from Sheringham and Klinsmann. Sadly Everton thrashed us in the semi final!

[@Tr33fiddy]

Daniel Bloody Amokachi.

[@tonybates7870]

Juice Gobblaaar. God, I'm funny . . .

[@martinemery1834]

sorry i ment he joined spurs after they pulled themselves out of div two not he helped them out of div two before you bleet a coment

[@martinemery1834]

also hoddle was quite good with martin peters jimi greves and martin chivers

[@martinemery1834]

steve perryman gordon mabut and jennings are up there with demi gods while johny pratt will be exalted forevermore

[@tonybates7870]

Yep, Pat Jennings was magnificent. Notice how he could join Arsenal and still be loved by us Spurs fans? Pat saved two penalties in front of the Kop in one fantastic game against Liverpool. Sol Campbell didn't command that kind of respect - he was hated for going to N5. John Pratt was an underrated player, I liked him.

[@tgangstar]

Best hat trick ever lol

[@martinemery1834]

and dare i say it ardilles took spurs out of second div shit to cup winners and greves was ok also what about greves and paul allen????

[@DAN_I_E_L]

WRONG! The answer is Bassong.

[@chocice]

Rosenthal > Torres

[@modsheff1]

Grobbelaar ought to have been sacked

[@martinemery1834]

anderton rates with greves charlton best and jesus

[@schmuelsonsradang4301]

Too bad, he couldn't play in the world cup. Being witb the European for qualifier is still an unsurmountable fro Israel. They had some great players like Rosenthal, Benayoun, Ben Haim, Berkovic etc. Perhaps Israel will never be in the World Cup.

[@jasonfernee3755]

Grobelaar.... hmmmmmmm lol

[@TRIGMASTER06]

Bruce Grobbelaar really was an average keeper. He had a great back 4 in front of him at Liverpool, but some of the goals in this match he really was at fault for.

[@supahdupahguy81]

This was before we nicked their song lmao...
