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]
To date, this remains the most recent European honour won by Tottenham Hotspur. It would be another 35 years until Spurs reached another major European final, when they lost theChampions League Final in2019 toLiverpool.
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]
