With the Stratford saga still raging, I want to voice my opinion about clubs that change grounds, and the personal impact to me. I fully understand that clubs need to maximise financial possibilities in the modern era, but at what cost… Well, to me personally, if Spurs were to move grounds it would in an instant erase the memories I … Read More »

After the despair of having an FA CUP FINAL appearance snatched away by a last gasp penalty in the 1981 SEMI FINAL against WOLVES at HILLSBOROUGH, it was off to HIGHBURY for the replay… This game I remember very well. I had never seen so many SPURS at a game. They were everywhere. HIGHBURY was heaving, and the famous NORTH … Read More »

Once I knew that I had a ticket for the 1981 FA CUP FINAL, I started to think about what banner I was going to take. I was 14. A mate of mine (Philpott) suggested a COCKEREL, and an idea was born…. After sourcing a huge cardboard box, I made a template of a 6ft COCKEREL standing on a ball … Read More »

For me it really all started way back in 1977. I was 10, and remember my DAD (what a hero), going MENTAL at the fact that Tottenham had won 9-0 against Bristol Rovers. He was RAVING about it, and about a player called COLIN LEE. Spurs had been relegated into what was then the old 2nd division (today’s Championship ), … Read More »

I remember being really nervous about this game…. (well it was Man Utd away after all). We had struggled to get past Southend in the previous round, so the prospect of meeting United at Old Trafford was daunting to say the least, (plus the fact that you just dont win up there!!!), but we had beaten SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY the weekend … Read More »

The 1982 FA CUP run, was a truly memorable time for me. For the 2nd year running the FA CUP had been good to Spurs, as we never left London until the SEMI FINAL ,which was at VILLA PARK. We had defeated ARSENAL (separate tale to come about this one), LEEDS and VILLA at WHITE HART LANE, before beating CHELSEA … Read More »

I count myself as lucky. Very lucky indeed. I was 14 when I went to my first FA Cup Final (and replay), with my dad. It was 1981 and as the song went “WHEN STEVE WENT UP TO LIFT THE FA CUP” I was there…… I remember the Charity Shield (Community Shield now!!!) that followed, and the 1982 FA Cup … Read More »

With the Premier League megapowers surely all going to spend this summer, the next two months could define the history of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club for the next 10 years. Why? Because we stand at a crossroads, ENIC can either prove that they see this club as a business and sell Luka Modric to Chelsea for a tidy sum and … Read More »

I am a optimist, but over the years as a yid I have learnt to not get carried away, to not let the occasion get the better of me, even last year at the peak of things, when champions league was pretty much guaranteed as I walked into the city of manchester stadium expecting someone to bottle my face and … Read More »

Tottenham Hotspur host West Ham United at White Hart Lane on Saturday 19th March 2011 in the Premier League. This will be the 239th meeting between the two clubs. The first meeting came in the Thames and Medway League in September 1898 when West Ham were known as Thames Ironworks. That game at Northumberland Park resulted in a 3-0 home … Read More »
