Is that wise, handing Eric Dier a golf club when Jamie Redknapp's kneecaps are in such close proximity? please log in to view this image
If you have a spare hour , try the Spurs Show pod cast " Top Ten Tottenham " just finished the Theo Delaney and the Kevin Hill episodes , worth a listen
Talking about joining Spurs Supporters Club......I became a Life Spurs fan with booklet etc in 1958.......they've got no record of me.Well that was in the days of Warmington House!
A friend of mines daughter worked for him at his stables and I had the pleasure to meet him at her wedding , he was an absolute gentleman
Talking of Warmington house, it is being used as an art gallery now. there is an exhibition called 'Balls' on right now. https://oofgallery.com/oof-gallery
Hi Smithy, hope your doing OK? 1958 was well before Warmington House. We didn't take the lease over until 1963 & then there was lots of work to be done on it. I vaguely remember our SSC meetings in the TL&R club in Tottenham, do you? Anyway, keep supporting, COYS!
I was a member of Enterprise,TL&R and Tottenham Trades at times and played for Enterprise and Tott Trades.That was a while ago! I guess my memory is quite poor.My Life Member card (Number 171) was printed in June 1961. My other 2 cards for 1958/9 at The Kiosk (main entrance Spurs ground,High Road,Tottenham,N.17.) number10,250 and1965/6 at Warmington House number3986. I obviously didn't renew it each,tightwad!!!!? You can see I'm a hoarder!!!!! Don't recall the club at TL&R though. I joined the Enterprise when I was 18 in 1958.
Who remembers this day, our lot spent ages before the team came out tearing up papers to give them a ticker tape welcome, when they came out we threw it up and most of it landed on some big geezer a few yards away who spent the rest of the first half staring daggers at us , game was a bit of a damp squib I recall we lost 3 or 4 1 to Villa
Was a midweek game I think game 2 1978/9 season? I can remember seeing a report on the news. High hopes dashed - although soon to be smashed to smithereens by Liverpool before slowly starting to look a very good idea.
I went to the first game, at the champions, Forest, where we'd played great and probably should have won. A lot of hopes got binned against Villa. They completely gubbed us 4-1 and within a few weeks it was obvious that half of the team weren't up to the job.. However, this is still in my head as a fantastic night. Me and 2 brothers had a carrier bag full of shredded newspaper, most of which refused to get airborne but the stuff was everywhere come kick off. please log in to view this image Ardiles and Villa were the story in football in a way that's impossible to understand today...which made the published attendance of 47,892 a bit of a surprise - it was rammed on The Shelf. Ian Moores started up top with Gerry Armstrong. It was Moores' last performance for the club.
Gerry Armstrongs are pretty thin on the ground, too....and Jonahs. Watching Ardiles and Hoddle playing with all those strikers was unbelievably frustrating
We did specialise in non scoring forwards in those days. Probably John Duncan was the best of that era.
