To date, this remains the most recent European honour won by Tottenham. In addition, it would be another thirty-five years until Spurs even played in another major European final, when they reached the Champions League Final in 2019, losing to Liverpool.

Years later, 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 controversially disallowed.[2]
