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.

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.
