I was atnth at marcn in 1965. The actual name of the opposition was the Hungarian Select XI if I remember rightly, but as you say effectively the Hungarian National Team. Spurs won at a canter 4-0, but the Hungarian team were to be one of the best teams at the 1966 world cup, the following year. Bad injury for our Maurice, which finished his career. He would almost certainly have been England's central half at the 66 world cup. Jack Charlton took over from Maurice, and we all know what happened next.
Sorry should have said
I was at that match in 1965.
I don,t know how strong the Hungarian XI were, I should have the program but my ex-wife binned them all when we split up
Sandy
Is there a match in Spurs hisotry that you have not been to?
Puffin
I have the programme, it is up in the loft somewhere, I will try to dig it out, and let you know the team.
Lennon's
I have hardly been to a game in the last 10 years, so yes there are loads I have not been to.
Having said that I am making an appearance tomorrow. FA Cup, 3pm Saturday kick off, £10 OAP tickets was just to much to resist.
Cheers Sandy, off the top of my head I can only recall Albert & Farkas.
As you say one of the best teams in the group stages, certainly better than England

I would love to have a pint with you tomorrow, but unfortunately the waterworks aint what they used to be, so straight to my seat unfortunately. I used to have the odd tipple n the Bell back in the day.

Of course I did. The rattle was all part of the gear back in the day, bit like wearing the shirt now, but more dangerous.

Feel free, I, m a big fan of pedantry myself, I was going to say "tib & fib" but I didn,t think the illiterati on here would understand - should have gone with plain old double fracture. Apologies re lack of apostrophes but my keyboard has lost it, have to use the comma instead.
