POST PAUL STALTERI
German Links
Canadian international full-back Paul
BACK Stalteri had a good grounding in the
Bundesliga and returned there when he
left Spurs in December 2008.

Born in Ontario, he had just started
out as a professional with Toronto Lynx
when spotted by Werder Bremen, joining
the club in November 1997, and helping
them to the League and Cup double in
2004.

He moved to Spurs the following July,
making his debut at Portsmouth. He is
best remembered by Spurs fans for his
late winner at West Ham in 2007, going
on as substitute to earn us a thrilling
4-3 triumph. He left us for Borussia
Monchengladbach the following year.

Stalteri won a then record 84 full caps
for Canada, many as captain of the side.

2 MARTIN PETERS

England international midfielder Martin Peters was a regular goalscorer as we
battled our way to the 1974 UEFA Cup Final.

Our World Cup winner – also on target against West Germany in that 1966 Wembley
triumph – netted twice for Spurs in the first round as we beat Swiss side Grasshoppers
9-2 on aggregate.

He scored at the Lane when we knocked out Aberdeen and then bagged a double with
trademark headers at home to Dinamo Tbilisi before we took on FC Cologne in the
quarter-finals.

Peters and Chris McGrath shared the goals as we returned from Cologne with a 2-1
advantage and Martin ghosted in to hit the net again as we triumphed 3-0 in the return.

That set up a semi-final with Lokomotive Leipzig where 74,000 fans looked on as
Peters helped us to a 2-1 away advantage that we turned into a 4-1 aggregate at the
Lane.

Unfortunately, he lost that goalscoring touch in the final as Feyenoord grabbed a 2-2
draw in the first leg in N17 and completed the job by a 2-0 margin in Rotterdam.

But it was a good trip for our Jersey-
born striker Chris Jones who notched
five goals, starting with a brace as we
opened the series with a 3-1 win at Vfl
Osnabruck on July 24. He also scored in
a 3-1 loss to 1FC Cologne before claiming
another two in our 2-1 success over KSV

5 German Links

BERT MIDDLEMISS

Winger Bert Middlemiss scored a hat-trick when we kicked off our 1914 tour of
Germany, Italy and Switzerland with a 6-3 triumph at Hanover. We remained unbeaten
on the nine-match trip, scoring 34 goals, including six without reply against tonight’s
opponents Bayern Munich, this time Harry Sparrow bagging three.

We failed to win at Nuremberg where Sparrow netted in the 1-1 draw before a brace
from Bert Bliss saw us tie 2-2 at Furth in Bavaria.

6 STEFFEN IVERSEN

Despite a slender lead provided by Steffen Iversen’s penalty, we travelled to 1FC
Kaiserslautern in confidence for the return leg of our UEFA Cup second round tie in
November 1999.

We had forced numerous chances to increase that margin at the Lane but had to settle
for Iversen’s 33rd minute spot kick after goalkeeper Andreas Reinke felled David Ginola
who had been excellent on the night.

Manager George Graham subsequently left out Ginola for the reunion where two very
late goals saw us lose 2-0.

7

PAUL MILLER

We also faced German opposition in season 1981-82 when we met Eintracht Frankfurt in
the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Having hit top form in the first round against Ajax, we struggled against Dundalk with
Garth Crooks scoring home and away as we scraped through with a single goal advantage.

We knew that Eintracht would be more formidable and so they proved at the Lane where
young reserve goalkeeper Joachim Juriens kept us at bay. That was until the hour mark when
Paul Miller moved into attack and fired home from 20 yards.

Micky Hazard added a second ahead of a 2-1 defeat in the return where Glenn Hoddle hit our
decisive reply. Barcelona narrowly beat us in the subsequent semi and, when we returned to
the competition the following season, Bayern Munich knocked us out in the second round.

Just two days later we returned to Chicago,
having spent a couple of days there on the
shores of Lake Michigan prior to going to Detroit,
for our 11th and final game of the tour.

A rematch with Bayern was played at the famous
Soldier Field stadium and in temperatures of over
80 degrees, which played its part in a less than
entertaining affair. The Germans took the lead
through Gerd Muller but we equalised with four
minutes remaining when Derek Possee’s corner
was converted by Ron Henry (right).

We spent the next two days relaxing in Chicago
before heading home on 21 June, while Bayern
played four more matches and didn’t return to
Germany until the start of July. Their travelling
party included players such as Franz Beckenbauer
and Sepp Maier, who were in Germany’s World Cup
squad which kicked off their tournament on 12 July!

and made his senior debut away to Aston Villa
on 16 September, 1963. He was a stalwart of Bill
Nicholson’s side throughout the next decade,
always a popular player with the supporters and
Bayern’s team of superstars was a great opponent
for his testimonial.

A crowd of 19,150 turned up for Bayern’s first-
ever visit to White Hart Lane which ended 2-2.
Although an exhibition game, it was still played to
a high standard by two teams who were packed full
of internationals.

Alan Gilzean gave us an early lead before a slick
header by John Pratt from a cross by Ray Evans
doubled our advantage. Just before half-time
