Make it happen someone.

Hi to everyone on Spurscommunity. I've been a member of this wonderful website that is a home to so many of us Tottenham fans. I live in the North Of Ireland but spent a lot of my childhood growing up in North London Islington. As you could imagine my English family tried to indoctrinate me into the Arsenal ? family but thankfully my Irish Father had other ideas and when he came back from Job in the Isle of Man every Winter he would bring me to WHL. I was always a very timid and anxious boy afraid of crowds but as time grew I began to love the place and more importantly the fans. My father died when I was very young and my Mum had a terrible accident that left her severely brain damaged. I looked after her 24 hours a day for 20 years but I still was able to fly over to London at least 5 times per year, we had moved back to Ireland after Mums accident. Then just a few years after my Mum passed I started to get sick then really sick. Then came "The News" I was in hospital because they thought I had an infected hip, unfortunately it wasn't, it was stage 4 blood & bone cancer. Anyway after a years worth of chemotherapy and two strokes later here I am. Laying in bed in Belfast playing Fifa 18 on Xbox One, bag packed, match tickets sorted, medications sorted and a letter from my Consultant saying I'm fit to travel. This is probably going to be the biggest game of my life and I can't wait until 5am when I head to the airport. I never thought in a million years would I see my beloved Tottenham play again in the flesh and almost as important is the fans! You guys, I still suffer from anxiety but I've always thought we are a big family and people will always chat to me, even though I have the terrible Belfast accent LOL, we all might not agree with everything that is said on these forums but we all still love the Club and I hope each other. I don't know why I have decided to write this tonight, maybe its just my way of leaving a little bit of me on the forums when the inevitability happens and I hope that over the years I've ran into a few people here a bought them a drink as I've done many times and also had the same generosity back from so many good people at White Hart Lane. I'm truly sorry for the rambling tonight guys, let's hope we get the 3pts and I can make my way up the Tottenham High Road to see our new home. COYS
Let's face it, you only posted this for up votes! Ha ha. No, I tease. It's a shame Levy has not been able to get the stadium ready for the start of the season so you could go to the new WHL on this trip. But I hope that your treatment is such that this will not be your last trip to London and that there will be many more chances to see the team and to enjoy our true home once we move into the new stadium.

Wow, haven’t been on here much since the close of the transfer window. Had some very bad financial news since. Talk about put things into perspective, incredibly humbling post, I’ll be there today, hope you have a brilliant day.

Rejects Arsenal to become a Tottenham fan.
Looks after his sick mum for twenty years.
Fights off cancer to get back to watch Tottenham.
What an absolute hero!

Hope you enjoy the game mate. Sometimes we all get caught up in our petty daily issues and annoyances and lose sight of the bigger picture and take our health for granted. It's good to get some perspective occasionally. You deserve a fantastic weekend.

It took a post like this to bring this lurker out of the dark. So while Spurs obviously means something to all of us, your post is an incredible reminder that Spurs are ultimately the vehicle that brings us together and not always just a destination. Wishing you nothing but the best and hope today's game brings the pleasure to you that you have obviously brought to all of us. Now if Arsenal had a midfielder with as much fight in them as you do, they might be dangerous!
