    Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest 1991 FA Cup Final Having created history by playing in the first FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, Spurs headed into this one confident of reacquainting themselves with the Cup they had become so familiar with down the years, and for the 5th decade in succession they maintained the curious record of winning a major trophy in a year ending in the figure ‘1’. After his stunning free kick in the semi-final, all eyes were on Paul Gascoigne. But one of England’s most naturally gifted players ever in history made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. His infamous challenge on Forest’s Gary Charles after only 15 minutes resulted in the charismatic midfielder being stretchered off the field and out of football for over a year. To make matters worse for Spurs, Stuart Pearce scored from the resultant free-kick, and in the 32nd minute when it appeared they had been offered the perfect opportunity to get back into the match, Lineker saw his spot-kick saved by Crossley, and half time came with Forest holding the advantage. But persistence paid off, and with only 9 minutes of the 2nd half played, Spurs deservedly levelled, when Allen burst through the middle of the park before laying the ball off to Paul Stewart, who this time fired the ball past Crossley to make it all square. Spurs looked for the winner, but Forest managed to force extra time. Then, in the 94th minute, it was a little case of history repeating itself, but this time in Spurs favour, as Nayim’s corner was headed across to the far post by Stewart, and Des Walker became the unfortunate Forest defender to head into his own goal. It was a fantastic 8th for Spurs, now relive this dramatic day all over again.
