Spurs vs Brighton | Boot in both camps | Gary Stevens

It's one of the great Spurs quiz questions - who wore number 10 in the 1984 UEFA Cup Final?

The number 10 that night also scored in the dramatic penalty shoot-out as we triumphed against Anderlecht.

The answer... Gary Stevens. Glenn Hoddle was unfortunately injured, one of a number of absentees for the second leg, including skipper Steve Perryman and goalkeeper Ray Clemence, but Gary stepped up when it mattered to help deliver European glory for the third time.

Signed by Brighton in 1977, Gary made over 150 appearances for the Seagulls, the last of which was the 1983 FA Cup Final replay before his switch to Spurs. He went on to make 200 appearances for us until departing for Portsmouth in 1990, earning his seven England caps during his time at Spurs.

Now a pundit for Stadium Astro in Malaysia and living in Thailand, Gary made a welcome return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year, and was a guest at our pre-season match against West Ham in Bangkok, unfortunately cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

Speaking to us in 2017, Gary reflected on his time at Brighton and Spurs. "As I left Brighton (1983), we got to the FA Cup Final but got relegated, so it’s taken them 34 years (in 2017) to get back. It’s an incredible story, it really is. I went to the last-ever game at the Goldstone Ground and I went down to Hereford when they nearly went out of the Football League and the result that day kept them in the Football League (both matches in 1997). They then had ground-sharing at Gillingham, then the Withdean Stadium, an athletics stadium, and yet somehow the club survived. I had a great time at Brighton and we spent four years in the top flight, then it went into another stratosphere for me at Spurs. It also enhanced my chances of getting to where I always dreamed of playing as a kid, and that was for England. I was at the club for the best part of seven seasons. The most exciting aspect for me was the quality of the players I was playing alongside at that time. I look at when I first arrived and it was Ray Clemence in goal, Steve Perryman, Glenn Hoddle, a World Cup winner in Ossie Ardiles and then players who came went, Richard Gough, Chris Waddle, Gary Lineker came in, Gazza came in, just outstanding footballers. It was a joy to play with them."
