    Great year...we won the first ever all London FA Cup final and on the 4th day of that year a certain RCL was born...the first match in my life time....you just know it had to be a NLD on 7th January 1967 which we won 2 nil.

    A memorable year for me too as I gave birth to my first baby. We were home to Bristol City that very day and on her 50th birthday 2 years ago I gave her the programme in a presentation wallet. It made a nice little extra pressie. Needless to say It was my husband who saw the match and bought the programme, none of this holding hands, mopping brow etc in those days! About 6 weeks later she saw her first SPURS cup final on TV when we beat Chelsea! COYS.......

    I would not have missed being there when my girls were born but the idea of watching Mrs RCL turn the hospital air blue by suggesting I go to watch spurs play is very funny....she told me to "stop shoving that ****ing mask in my ****ing face or God help you I will hurt you so bad" when I offered her the gas and air mask.
    She is the kindest, funniest person I have known but she was a complete pyscho that morning <laugh>

    I seem to remember I was reading The Glory Game when my first was born, literally throughout most of the labour (15 hours)

    Fathers were not allowed to stay back then, not in the North Mid anyway. Even visiting was a strict half hour only which was hard at such an emotional time. So different now.

    My mother didn't want my father anywhere near the North Mid when I was born.

    you just know it had to be a NLD - yep could've guessed
    which we won - now that's a shock, thought there was a reason for your negativity

    I never got to have any future Spurs fans. They told my wife she had cancer down below 10 days after we got married. She had her hysterical-ectomy at Lakenheath USA air base.

    Hell! They may have become southern MU fans...….and I would have killed them!!!!!!!

    Massimo Luongo in talks with Sheffield Wednesday

    Hopefully he has better luck there than Josh Onomah did last season
