Brighton manager Chris Hughton tries to inspire players against Arsenal with memories of the day he scored twice against them for Tottenham

Brighton manager Chris Hughton scored only 20 goals for club and country in a playing career which spanned 16 years, so it's not surprising he still remembers vividly the day he got two against Arsenal.

Hughton, a hard-working and cultured full-back who spent 27 years at White Hart Lane as player and coach, was a hero in 1983 when he inspired a 5-0 victory over the old enemy.

It's a result which still stands in history as Tottenham's joint biggest-ever win in the North London derby, with Mark Falco (2) and Alan Brazil adding to a memorable day in a season in which Spurs finished fourth in the top flight, 11 points and six places above their rivals.
