1974 UEFA Cup Final

In the preceding five rounds of the competition, Tottenham had never been seriously threatened with elimination, as the London-based club outscored their opponents by a total of 29 goals to 8 en route to the final. In contrast, Feyenoord Rotterdam won several narrow victories in their cup ties: they advanced on away goals against Belgian side Standard in the third round and needed extra time in the return leg to beat Polish club Ruch Chorzów in the quarter-final. Additionally, leading up to the final, Feyenoord had won only one out of five legs that were played away from their home ground, De Kuip.

This marked the second time in three years that Spurs had reached the final of a UEFA Cup, having defeated fellow English side Wolves in the inaugural final.
