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]

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.
