Cundy is famously remembered for the "freak" goal that he scored against Ipswich Town in a Premiership match for Spurs in the 1992/1993 season. In an attempt to clear the ball away on the half-way line from soon to be Spurs player Jason Dozzell he managed a wind assisted effort that ended up flying over 'keeper Craig Forrest and into the back of the net. The goal was captured live on SkySports and put Spurs 1–0 up in a match that they would go onto to draw 1-1.
