Paragraph 1 - actually, the goal shown is Spurs' third goal, in their 3-1 victory. The goalscorer is Bobby Smith.
"Dennis Law" should read Denis Law.
Harry Gregg wasn't, as currently described, the club's former goalkeeper, he was still at the time their usual first choice.
Paragraph 3 - it's worth noting that the "increased ticket prices" are 5 shillings (25p) and 12/6 (62.5p).
