Interesting thread.

Personally, I've never forgiven Spurs for a 9-2 defeat at WHL in 1962 (and I think Forest took the lead through Trevor Hockey, for whose very glamorous young wife I once cleared the garden during Bob-a-Job-Week).

And then I've never forgiven Spurs for kicking the sh** out of us during the 1966-67 season FA Cup semi-final, forcing Joe Baker to go off injured after ten minutes and Terry Hennessey to spend most of the game limping (two of our best players), thus ruining our chances of not only winning the cup but the league too.

I couldn't stand Spurs either before, during and after the 1991 Cup Final. Gazza should have been sent (rather than carried) off and the result would have been completely different.

Actually, much as I admire the victory on Sunday, I don't think my heart will ever warm to Spurs. Sorry, Autolycus, but it's hard to stop bearing a grudge!

Oh, and let's not forget that Arsenal's first shirts were a gift from Forest.
