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]
In the second leg Graham Roberts captained the team in Steve 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, the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League.
