The1984 UEFA Cup Final was anassociation football tie played on 9 May and 23 May 1984 to determine the champion of the1983–84 UEFA Cup. The two-legged final was contested betweenAnderlecht of Belgium, who were defending champions, andTottenham Hotspur of England. Tottenham won 4–3 on penalty kicks after the tie finished 2–2 on aggregate.[1]
In 1997, it emerged that Anderlecht's passage to the final had involved the club's chairman paying a bribe totalling £27,000 to thereferee for the semi-final againstNottingham Forest. A dubious penalty was awarded to Anderlecht, whilst a Forest goal was disallowed.[2]
In the second legGraham Roberts captained the team inSteve Perryman's absence.Glenn Hoddle was not fit and did not play in any of the two legs.[3]
It would take Tottenham 41 years to win their next European title, the2024–25 UEFA Europa League.
