Review
This 5th round FA Cup tie was abandoned after just 14 minutes due to a winter snow storm that left the pitch, and the white-shirts of Spurs, unrecognizable. The score was 0-0 when it was called off. The replay (one week later) ended 2-2 and the second replay at White Hart Lane ended 1-1, and we eventually went through on penalties.
