Call the Midwife Story...

[Dave-F]

Anyone else see the Call the Midwife this weekend?

It featured (ampongst many other things) a bit where a young man was on his death bed and was being encouraged to stay alive so he could see his baby boy and to see Spurs do the double in the 1961 . One of the writers must be a Spurs fan!...Anyway, brought a lump to my throat watching it.

Did he make it? I hope he fucking made it

 

[Grey Fox]

I know how he feels, trying to stay alive long enough to see us win the league and the new stadium.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I do worry, born in 1955 but too young to remember/know about 1961/62/63.

Had some glory days down the years but now 60 and wondering if the big one will happen.

Nope...well, he saw his baby, but don't think he stayed alive long enough to see us do the double.

That's poor life management frankly.

I was born in 1957 and I can vaguely remember sitting on my Dad's shoulders outside Tottenham Town Hall where the Double Team had their Civic Reception.

Although I have been lucky enough to witness numerous Cup wins over the years I would love to see them win the league whilst I still have the faculties to enjoy it.

I saw the episode and posted about it on FB! Gave me goosebumps.

What was it like- Seeing Tottenham win the Title (and FA Cup- obviously)?

Not the sort of thing to admit to on a football forum.

It's my wife's favourite. I watch it so I can then watch the football later. Marriage is all about comproise!

Among my most precious memories for sure.

I couldn't get a Cup Final ticket in 1961 but made it to Wembley with my dad the following season when we beat Burnley to win the Cup for a second consecutive year. The Double season was sensational and I went to every home game. I was still at school and didn't get to away games except for London matches until I was working in 1964 and earning.

I'm so hopeful we will see some more glory very soon with our current team. It's been a long time...

 

[kursaal]

Yes I saw it. Poord Johnny never got to see Spurs do the double.
