1962-63 Cup Winners' Cup: No semi-final stage; Tottenham went from quarter-finals to the final.I think this is our 9th semi final in 'major' european competitions over the last 60 odd years :
European Cup - 1962
Cup Winners Cup - 1963 and 1982
UEFA Cup - 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1984
CL - 2019
EL - 2025
which is why I think the club and players will take it seriously - they are not frequent enough not to !
(NB. We have won 5 of these last 8 semi finals leading us to win Cup Winner Cup in 1963 and UEFA Cups in 1972 and 1984)
Why do keep insisting that there wasn't semi-final round in the 1963 Cup Winners Cup? Spurs played OFC Beograd and Atlético beat Nürnberg. It's not like it's hard to find the info.1962-63 Cup Winners' Cup: No semi-final stage; Tottenham went from quarter-finals to the final.
1981-82 Cup Winners' Cup: Tottenham were knocked out in the quarter-finals, not semi-finals.
1973-74 UEFA Cup: Tottenham were eliminated in the round of 16, not semi-finals.
