Great player - phenomenal number of headed assists

I started going in 73 too but only got to see him for the 1 season as a 9-10 year old kid, but will never forget the 1st time "Gilzean, Gilzean, Gilzean, Gilzean, Born is the King of White Hart Lane" really hit the heart strings, v Grasshopper Zurich in the old UEFA Cup
