A Bit Of Fun

Am well and truly fed up of this transfer window and all the speculation surrounding Modrubbishhairandteethric i thought i would steal a conversation from the Spurs facebook page:

Whats your funniest/best memory of Spurs.

I'll start my funniest memory must have been when i was about 4 and collected the premier league sticker books, i remember thinking i had completed the Spurs team and waiting for my Dad to get home from work so i could show him, only to find out that i had completed Norwich (Yellow kit) It broke my heart.

Also when was your first visit to the Lane?

Mine was in 1997 vs Leeds and i remember my Dad explaining to me that the crowd were singing 'Bowyers going down' to the tune of Footballs coming home.

Just a bit of fun to get us all through another day of no new signings.

First time :

The first home game after the 9-0 demolition of Bristol Rovers at age 10 (thoughts : am I really missing stuff like that when my mates are going ?? ) .

Best memories :

The 1978 home games against Bolton and Hull (wow, *50000* gates for *Division 2* games) .

Ricky Villa and Gazza at Wembley.


Funniest memory :

Vs Goons 1989 (Gazzas' first home game) .
Stuck in the corner (West Stand / Park Lane) .

Mars bars raining down when he came to take the corner.

Spurs fan at the front cupping his ear towards their fans when the Goons were 3-1 up, and nearly getting thrown out when the Goon fans went rabid at his antics (cannot hear you, Goons ) .

Best memory, taking my Dad, who's fault it is that I'm a Spurs fan, to our first CL match against Young Boys. He hasn't been too well for the last couple of years so we sat in the East Upper and had a great view. I'm just glad I didn't take him to the first leg, I don't think his heart could've taken it!

Funniest, a toss up between the ballboy throwing the ball into the Anorthosis Famagusta player's nuts and Keane doing a couple of stepovers on the wing leaving Bhoularouz on his arris without even going near him.

I have a pretty short memory.

V Everton October 1958 (where did those years go??)

It was Billy Nicholson's first match as manager & my first visit to the Lane.

Result? Spurs 10 Everton 4................................

Only two players from the Double winning team were playing that day, Danny B & Bobby Smith who got a great hat trick!

No wonder I became a hooked up Spurs man!!

genius :

Quite a telling story that.
You saw the genesis of what would become 1960-61, and a couple of yrs beyond that.

I am now convinced that Spurs must become the new Forest. A squad of good players must be forged into greater than the sum of their parts, by mgmt who can really man-manage.

NEW STRIKER ??
He can be our Trevor Francis (when we have earned the honours/monies to afford and be worthy of him) .
