Sensible interview with Steve Davis. Was always going to be difficult to keep bettering the previous season, if we finish 8th...it will be an OK season*, there is always speculation about players and managers, and the ability to cope with change is a testament to the club.

*I had copyright on that expression, but since it is Steve I'll let him off. :)

Not bad at all. He captured my expectations on this season.
 
Going through a few photo collections on HDDs and chanced on this topical Ron Davies one almost immediately. This is White Hart Lane in the 1960s. Note 'The Shelf'. The spectators there are the only ones seated. One thing about standing. At capacity winter matches your feet might be freezing but you were never cold. Too much insulation from fellow spectators:

The four Spurs players in the foreground with the leaping Ron are, from left to right, Cyril Knowles [he of Nice One, Cyril] or Terry Venables [can't be 100% certain, think it's CK], Dave Mackay. Welshman Mike England [5], and Alan Mullery. Anyone is welcome to guess at the player appearing next to the H of the HT score boards, and of any others bits of players in the photo. By the stance, Mr H could be left winger Cliff Jones, but it's a guess. What's the time.?

Did Saints bother to field anyone else other than Ron? Great picture, it captures why he was loved by so many, especially me. My first Saints hero.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There appears to be one Saints player almost totally obscured by Dave Mackay's right hand, and one of the semi-hidden Spurs players appears to have a third leg, but a Saintly one.
