Tottenham On This Day:
1st January, 1986
Graham Roberts was the main talking point during and after this scoreless draw at Highbury on New Year’s Day 1986 was Graham Roberts’ challenge on Charlie Nicholas which deposited the Arsenal player in the crowd.
The match was the first goal-less draw between the two clubs at Highbury in 77 years of competitive action. That, however, was given little thought or discussion when there were was something of greater interest to chew over.
The Times reported the incident as follows:
‘Despite spurts of genius from Ardiles, Hoddle and Nicholas, it was regrettably true that the game would be best remembered for one horrendous tackle by Roberts on Nicholas which carried both players off the field, through an advertising hoarding and into the laps of the ringside spectators.
