Tottenham Hotspur v Wolves, 24th November 1973

Highlights of the First Division fixture between Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves, played at White Hart Lane against the symbolic and literal gloom of the 1973 energy crisis. For Wolves, the 1973-74 season proved to be one of slight disappointment with regard to their league position. Following final placings of 4th, 9th and 5th in preceding seasons, a finish of 12th at the end of the season could be considered to be below par for a talented Wolves team. However, the shortfall in expectation in the league was more than compensated with the winning of the League Cup against Manchester City on 2nd March 1974. Prime reason for Wolves' relatively poor league position that season was that Bill McGarry's team made such a bad start to their campaign. After winning their opening two matches, Wolves won just once in their next fourteen matches that left them a lowly 19th in the league, level on points with Norwich City in one of the relegation positions below. Part of the problem was that striker John Richards endured a barren start to the season and went ten league matches without a goal. During Richards' worrying goal drought, his strike partner Derek Dougan and midfielder Jim McCalliog scored all twelve of Wolves' league goals between them. Although inconsistent in the league, for their match against Bill Nicholson's Spurs (who would ultimately finish the league campaign in a modest 11th position), Wolves displayed all their attacking potency in a thrilling performance. The strength of the Spurs team, though, was evident through the impressive display of Wolves goalkeeper Phil Parkes. The result at White Hart Lane was the beginning of a revival in results over the remainder of the season that would see Wolves haul themselves well clear of relegation and, ultimately, experience cup success.
