    First player to have won it three times, apparently.

    ...oh look, somebody else ignoring the fact he was offered Tielemans by Levy & Hitchen and said, no, he wants Ndombele and nobody else

    One of the most under rated players in a fantastic team.

    Aleksic/ Clemence
    Hughton Roberts Miller Perryman
    Villa Ossie Hoddle Galvin
    Crooks Archibald

    1981 and 1982

    Two world class players
    Plus six well known names
    And 3 or 4 (in 1981) relatively unknowns

    Put them together and they were a great team and a joy to watch.

    Great match (**** video) from that era. Possibly one of the best attacking performances I've seen from a Spurs team. The goals were sublime and the football at times was breathtaking. Fast, one touch passing! (The defending maybe not so hot)
    Vince Hilaire got sent off into the bargain as I recall.

    Was that filmed on someone's very early camera phone? <laugh>
    Very strange angle for professional media.

    What the squads of 81-85 sorely needed was a CM equivalent of
    defender Robbo, in order to have had a chance of winning the league
    (the perennial MF "steel" problem that Spurs have rarely resolved
    in my lifetime) .

    Fantastic lineup, but so attacking and unbalanced.
    Good defenders and keeper/s, yet they need some protection.

    I'm guessing somebody brought a Super 8 camera to the match

    To win the league, you are going to have to beat contenders
    whose attacking control in MF is at least as good as yours
    (if not better) .

    We know it in recent times when comparing Pochettino
    2016+2017 to Arry 2012. Much older hands here will be
    able to tell us whether Danny + Dave exerted MF
    control during the "top of the table" clashes.

    The "trigger" event that caused Robbens' hair loss to rapidly accelerate.

    Never really got a shot with us because of injury. Lennon's form never let him back into the team.

    This remains, by a mile, the best tackle I have ever seen live. I was behind the goal with some mates and we were just shell shocked. Could not believe what we'd just seen.

    The second best tackle I have ever seen live was of course Jan Vertonghen stopping Helenius by pulling his pants down <laugh>

    Good to see him making a good start in his new job at Bournemouth, they’re going well at the moment and it seems he’s made an impression already.
