Spurs 2 Woolwich
Arsenal 1 (Friendly)
The first game played against the team who were to become the club’s near neighbours and greatest rivals. The match was played at
Tottenham Marshes, one of the last games
Spurs played at their original home. The visitors were based in south London, their place of origin, before their re-location to north of the river.
The match started late due to the visitor’s late arrival and had to be abandoned with fifteen minutes remaining because of bad light.
Spurs were leading 2-1 when the game came to an early conclusion but the goal scorers and the team for this first win over
Arsenal are unknown, no records having been kept.
