The 1984 UEFA Cup Final was an association football tie played on 9 May and 23 May 1984 to determine the champion of the 1983–84 UEFA Cup. The two-legged final was contested between Anderlecht of Belgium, who were defending champions, and Tottenham 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 the Champions League Final in 2019 to Liverpool.
In 1997, it emerged that Anderlecht's passage to the final had involved the club's chairman paying a bribe totalling £27,000 to the referee for the semi-final against Nottingham Forest. A dubious penalty was awarded to Anderlecht, whilst a Forest goal was disallowed.[2]
