We'll never get that atmosphere back that we had at Upton Park. Great days ...

I remember watching this match on tape delay here in California. It was shown on TV here the same day, Monday Feb. 24, 1997. I had only been West Ham for 8 years in 1997, and wouldn't get to attend a game at Upton Park for another 3 years, but you could FEEL the atmosphere watching this match! A non-football fan friend of mine watched this game with me and became a West Ham supporter because of it! The only game that came close to this one was the win v. Manchester United on the last game at Upton Park, IMO. This was a GREAT match. Beating Tottscum made it even better.

Watching this with my dad on a dodgy sky box. Horrible season but great memories

I once saw Messi score a hat-trick at the Nou Camp, and this is still the greatest game of football I ever attended!

Those midweek nights under the lights at UP were often fantastic!!

[@geoffm9944]

Very poor defending! Walker was a very average goalkeeper! He was often out of position. Spurs had some decent forwards but their defence was a shambles throughout the 1990’s!

Season ticket holder at the time, I remember the game and by christ the wet windy weather. The atmosphere was electric that night though

[@gerrycollins2335]

Is it Trevor Francis on commentary?: "Dicks shouldn't be taking this free kick - his strength in the air is needed inside the box". Then Dicks powers in the free kick to Hartson who heads home.

1st west ham game ever watched needless to say hooked after this. Fortunes always hiding

[@LordFlashheart.11]

Watched this on Sky Sports. Still remember it being end to end...Great game of football by both teams.
