Banned? Oh goodness no old chap, far too civil for all that nonsense. Just came on board to agree with a comment someone made that's all, nothing sinister.
Ditchburn= withers =Clark=Ramsey=Burgess= Nicholson =Bailey=Bennett=The Duqu=Medley and Walters 1948 I was 10 years old we won and I have been hooked ever since By the way we were into pass and move played on the floor it took others another circa 50 years to get grass stains on the ball
It was called push and run.......and poor Tommy Harmer couldn't get in the side as a regular until about 1955.But he was in a different class.He would dribble through a defence slowly and send (usually) Bobby Smith through for a shot. Harmer the Charmer.Don't make 'em like that now!!!!
*Begin your hoots of derision, but consider how much louder you'd be hooting if I had picked Arsenal or Chelsea* Seeing Man City was playing Spurs for the last CL spot, and thinking, Spurs are the underdogs, plus they've got the guy who's really tall and skinny like me, come on Spurs... Meanwhile, Spurs are 2-0-0 when I've been at WHL. I wonder if I should be flown in for luck for the big games...
Spurs are 2-0-0 for away games I've attended! No ****! So now, for completeness's sake, we need a very unlucky, rare visitor to WHL. Reto Zeigler's mum?
I'm good at the lane. One season, when i got to borrow a season ticket a few times i was 6-0-0 with a goal record something like 26-3. It included beating Arsenal, Chelsea and the 9-1 against Wigan
Pabird! You've been joined since May 2011, you've got 65 years of seeing Spurs under your belt and only 89 posts in over two years!
Older than most but not as old as some. First heard about Spurs in the papers in the Double Year. Might have seen some of the Cup Final on tv but don't really remember. The next season I was off school with measles or chicken pox or something like that and the away Eurpean Cup game v. Dukla Prague in February 1962 was shown mid week afternoon on tv. That must have been a real rarity in those days. Spurs lost 1 - 0 but my main memory is Bill Brown making a save where he seemed to dive the whole width of the goal line to keep the ball out. Spurs won the second leg 4 - 1. Then watched the Burnley Cup Final on tv and have followed from afar since. First time at WHL was v. Sheffield United in 1964 I think, possibly first home game of the season. A 2 - 0 win including a goal from Greavsie. Stood on Park Lane End and being only 9 didn't see a lot. Next game was home v. Southampton, in 1968, a 6 - 1 win after going 1 down. Can't recall all the scorers although I remember Greavsie getting 2 and Cliff Jones flying in for one. Sat in the stand at Park Lane End, with a good view and watched Venables orchestrate the game from the middle of the park. That was my first experience of trouble at football with Saints fans getting in early and a big ruck on the Park Lane End. Have been to many more over the years including some aways at Bristol, Villa and Cardiff and the 1981 Cup Final first game v. QPR. I was at a couple of the games mentioned earlier, the 1 - 1 Leicester draw where Heskey gave Campbell a torrid time and the Ferdinand hat trick game also v. Leicester. Didn't Les kick the ball onto the shelf at full time and someone stuck it up their coat and walked out with it? Also, was it the Leicester game or a Leeds game around that time when Stephen Clemence and an opponent both went in 100% for a tackle, the crunch was heard across the whole ground and the ball ended up in Row Z of the Lower Shelf. They both got up, shook hands and the whole crowd applauded. They would have both been red carded now for dangerous play!!!
.....and the "trainers" bucket of cold water and a sponge would cure all ills.Today a player gets touched and he has to roll over about a dozen times until the other player is booked,then he gets up and is up and running as though nothing had happened!
That would be nice.We need a couple of goal scorers to get there! I thought we had bought a few but.........
I remember having a Spurs squad poster on my bedroom wall and crying when Jimmy Greaves was sold . I had just started school, and my father taking me to see Martin Peters make his début. Getting ready for school and bleeping out of the gigantic music centre that we had signed Ralph Coates.
No one could replace Greavesie except Messi.Carbon copy! But Peters did become very useful to us. Well before Jim Left us,he had become a total alcoholic.In fact while he was with West Ham,he and Bobby Moore got in to trouble for going out drinking all night....... We had no idea Jim was a alky until many years later!
