I love this song from the Dave Clark Five and have just discovered that Dave Clark was in fact from Tottenham. I was thinking this would be class played as loud as possible at the lane when the team come out, all the fans singing along would be a great atmosphere. From searching the song I have now found out that Palace actually do this, can anyone explain why they adopted this song and spurs haven't?

Ah, just seen the end of your post! Sos
"Crystal Palace Football Club adopted the song as their anthem in the 1960s. It is played at the start of all home games, and after full time (when Palace win). The chorus is played after home goals, before the goalscorer's name is read out. It is also sung by fans as a chant. On Saturday 10 February 1968 The Dave Clark Five played "Glad All Over" live at Crystal Palace's home, Selhurst Park. A cover version, sung by the squad at the time, was released as part of their FA Cup run (where they reached the final of the competition) in 1990.[8]"

He might be from Tottenham but you didn't say whether or not he supported Spurs

Can't stand the song. Feels and sounds incredibly small time.
I'd kill myself if it started getting played at WHL.

sorry but yes apparently he is a big Tottenham fan, which makes it even more annoying that spurs didn't adopt this at games - great song from a local Tottenham boy.. - the bands sound is driven by the 'thump thump' of the drum known as the 'Tottenham Sound'. I would love it if spurs adopted this for the walk out.
