Re: Bill Nicholson's motivational team talk before 1963 Cup-Winners-Cup Final.
The Spurs players were in the dressing room prior to the game talking about the quality of the individuals in the Atletico Madrid team and worrying how they were going to stop them. Bill Nicholson steps forward, "You realise that even now they're talking about us. They're saying, 'They got Greaves and Smith up front, Jones and Blanchflower in midfield, Norman at the back. How the hell are we going to beat them?'" (Slightly paraphrased.)

Spurs went out and won 5-1, becoming the first British club to win a European trophy.

Borussia Dortmund, no worries.

Dortmund!! - It was bound to happen!
But bet the boys will be buzzing - this is exactly the type of game they should be looking forward too.
...Shame about Dele though.

I have no idea why some of you are shitting the bed about this, have some faith in our boys, we are second favourites to win the comp behind Dortmund and frankly they should be more afraid of us. Our pressing and style of play combined with our great defence and the fact we have the 2nd leg at home makes me believe we will win. I am excited either way, no need to be afraid, COYS.

I think some of you are forgetting Sevilla. And nobody shitting themselves, it's a pure fact that Dortmund has a really strong team. To defeat them would be en extreme achievement, not a given.

Would honestly rather draw them now and progress/lose in the last 16 than risk fixture congestion ruining our form in the PL by getting them later on the competition.

These are types of games our club was built on. We want this type of game every season not just once in awhile. I for one am lookingh forward to it. We can hold our own against them.

Anyone know how easy it will be to get tickets in the Dortmund end for the away leg?
