Question for the older fans

[Borks]

I've been trying to keep a low profile but now is the time to admit that I am Spurs legend Ian Fitzgibbon and I can confirm that I played for Spurs in 1979.

Well apparently you're dragging my daughter in to see his boss with him to get her a nice pay rise and she's only been there 2 months!!

There's no mention of him in the official Tottenham Hotspur ---The Complete Record so I would say he hasn't.
Worrying about the Ian Fitzgibbon mentioned by @Nine while nine above though.

 

[knowlespurs]

sounds like a lot of monkey business to me

 

[Disconosebleed]

It should be socially acceptable in this sort of situation to expose him and call him a fucking liar in front of his friends, family and that supermodel wife he keeps telling you about.

So now that the young feckers are out of the way is this thread safe for old people to hang out? We can talk about kicking ball in the street til all hours, jumpers for goalposts, black only boots and none of this playstation-playing, neon-boot-wearing, fancy-haircut, social-media shite that the little bollocks' chat about. Who's with me?

[CosmicHotspur]

Nope.

 

[spursfan77]

I think Tim Sherwood said he gave him his debut

 

[CosmicHotspur]

The name rings a big clanging bell as one of two Irish drug dealer brothers. Not a Spurs footballer that I've ever heard of though.

 

[npearl4spurs]

Can we just keep this as an older fans thread and ask yall older fans random questions?

 

[guiltyparty]

Someone needs to knock up a Wikipedia page for him.

I reckon it was a hangover from rationing, nothing was wasted!

possibly , but basically I'm just a greedy bastard

I swear having Irish parents who had also lived through a war and rationing meant that absolutely nothing was thrown out "just in case it might come in handy". Blown fuses, dead batteries, pens with no ink left were all put in the drawer, I swear they expected them to magically get better in there overnight.

To this day my mother who lives on her own now that my dad has passed has twenty place settings in her cupboard because she can't bear to throw anything away.
