Spurs Centenary Memories or why we are the club we are!

[arnoldlayne]

Saw a thread on COYS from luckylion "And if you know your history..." with links to 2 spurs youtube videos - both must be watched, particularly for Arthur Rowe's tears at the end of the second video.

Can't believe no ones commented on this. God I welled up when Athur Rowe said this

What do spurs mean to you?

“A lot…. I like them….They’re a great club,and to be associated with them…was nice” Arthur Rowe.

God almighty how many times have these videos been posted.......

 

[louisg]

first time I've seen them mate

God almighty how many times have these videos been posted.......

Actually mate I watched the original programme on TV when it came out in the early 1980's.

The videos may have been posted many times but I didn't know that.

I thought it was very interesting and a reminder of just why I support Spurs.

Obviously the lack of comment alluded to by my fellow poster above and your comments have proved me wrong.

In future I'll be more careful about posting links to Spurs' past.

I had the same reaction and just wanted to remind people that Arthur Rowe was a truly great manager and his tactics are used by clubs like Barcelona now.

Please don't. Perhaps you could post some of when we were shit... This board could do with a bit of perspective.:grin:

If I did I'd be worried about reaching an epic on "Lord of the Rings" scale!

I shed a tear watching that especially the interview at the end and listening to glory glory being sung by the faithful back in the day.

I love spurs and will do until the day I die.

It has been posted before and I've kept all these YouTube clips in my Favourites folder to watch again and again.

Wonderful stuff.

There is not enough memory on the interweb to post videos of us when we were shit.

Thanks for posting, Mr Rowe and the High Road in the early 80's class stuff - how small was the Spurs shop!!!

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Steve I remember the shop in the 80's on the right before the main entrance.

My Dad took me once and the lasting memory were the wooden cubby holes used as shelves and John Pratt leaning on the counter chatting up the girl behind the counter!!
