'It was total football' - Mabbsy on our home-win record, '87

That 14-match sequence is very much to the fore again as our current team racked up straight home win number 10 in the Premier League with a 2-1 success against Southampton at the Lane last Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are only the fourth team in the Club’s history to make it to double-figures in terms of home league wins on the trot. There were 11 in 1921-22, 12 in 1919-20 and the record of 14 across two seasons in 1987.

That season is famed for a change of tactics under David Pleat, where the manager switched to a five-man midfield and played Clive Allen up front on his own.
