But anyone who remember those 4 players?

 

[Sauniere]

I remember Willie Young, Peter Taylor and Don McAllister. I don't recall Chris Jones though


*edit, just googled Chris Jones and I do remember him.

 

[CrazyKen]

When did they play? And was they any good?

 

[Grey Fox]

I am afraid I do !, Young was a bit of a thug Centre half, Peter Taylor was a pretty good winger and nice bloke, Don McAllister was shit and Chris Jones was a bit of a Crouch look alike centre forward, but slightly better looking.

Aaah..hehe...Thank you I always like to hear about players before i was old enough to remember supporting Spurs!

Peter Taylor is perhaps the most well know, he was a winger and played for us in the 70s. He was in our team when we were relegated and helped us back up the following season. He's more famous now as a manager & he's been at a few clubs. He was involved in the england set up at one stage and i think i read somewhere he's back with england again (one of younger squads)

Willie Young was a big tall ginger haired scottish defender. He was known for being a hard (dirty) player. He left us for the scum mid to late 70s.

Don Mcallister was a defender i think, another 70s player, not sure when he left

Chris Jones was a striker if my memory serves me correctly, (had to look at a picture of him to remember him though) I think he was in the team when we were relegated as well.

Thank you so much..good info i started to like to watch Spurs in early 80's..and when Erik The Viking signed, i have never looked back..but still much history before that i have missed! Like players and such.

 

[CrazyKen]

I've got an old signed spurs poster that i had on my wall as a kid, it's like an ancient manuscript now, whenever i get it out and unfold it theres a risk of it crumbling away! It's got Pat Jennings, Ralph Coates, Alan Gilzean to name a few. I'll see if i can find it out and scan it to put on here. (some good haircuts)

 

[CrazyKen]

Oooh..very nice!! Would be lovely if you could do that

Farrah Fawcett called, she wants her hair back!

I still have 1960s autographed pics including John White.

I think i really need to read more and update my self on everything Spurs before 1980. I know most things, but there are still things to learn

I remember them all. Peter Taylor was a fantastic dribbler but his dribbling led directly to us being relegated. In the second last game of the season, we were even with Everton, but in the dying minutes, he dribbled once too many and lost the ball from which Everton scored and won the game. At the end there was nothing we could do to salvage the season.

This was the team that I first watched in mid to late 70's. They were all shit apart from one Glenn Hoddle, who was on a different planet

Our second last game of the season was against Man City and we lost 5-0, i know that because i was there.

Then it must have been the last game? I remember really cursing Peter Taylor for that.
