It is hard to imagine in the Arsene Wenger era but there was a time when Tottenham and Arsenal were more or less equal.
In the late Seventies and early Eighties, both clubs lived off their Double-winning history, Tottenham’s from 1960-61 and Arsenal’s from 1970-71. Tottenham were the more likely challengers in the league; the 1984-85 season seeing them go head to head with Everton for the title, at least until April.
And it was Tottenham who had the superior European pedigree, UEFA Cup winners in 1984, a trophy they had also won in 1972 along with the Cup-Winners’ Cup in 1963.
