Not memorabilia as such, just things I've got signed over the years. Shirts, the post cards of players, the Premier League sticker books for about six years that i got signed by loads of clubs and hundreds of players. Lucky enough to get some of the players' shirts and boots, and Kasey Kellers gloves. Photos with the players too. Always collected my ticket stub for the pasy eight years I've been going, and also the matchday programme when possible.
a picture of me as a youngster with teddy sheringham holding me in his muscular arms whilst i rather disrespectfully pull his ear lobe.... It now sits on the mantle-peice in my mums house.... bloddy mums...
I've got a pair of training shorts and socks belonging to none other the David Ginola, also have the programmes from the UEFA Cup Final 1st leg vs Feyenoord and the programme for the 73 League Cup final vs Norwich.
I've got a Glenn Hoddle yellow le coq sportif shirt he wore when we played Crystal Palace away in about 86? Unfortunately not signed.
My Great Uncle won it in a raffle along with a framed signed team picture. Passed it down to me as the next Tottenham Supporter in the family.
Also got an old style Tottenham bar mirror which is apparently light fingered away from one of the pubs round WHL in the 70's and got a framed Soloshare !
I've got a signed Spurs shirt from about 2 seasons ago, I think. I also collect all Spurs v Everton programmes (my husband is an Everton fan), the oldest one I have is from about the 1950's. I have them all displayed in my spare bedroom.
A Tottenham Hotspurs football signed by the 90/91 cup winning team (signed in the dressing room by the squad before the final). It has been deflated and stashed in my cupboard since about 1993. Got it our the other day to have a look and i reckon it must be worth a few bob now.
When I was a teenager I used to write to the players and consequently I have a collection of signed photos from Chivers, Gilzean, Jennings, Kinnear, Knowles, Mullery et al but I'm most thrilled with the letters I got from Glen Hoddle who wrote 2 sides answering all my questions - I can remember him saying his favourite meal was fish and chips amongst other things and also a two page letter from Steve Archibald who was obviously bored whilst injured. I used to get Christmas cards for about 3 years from Martin Robinson - he was in the reserves, played first team a few times and then went to Charlton. This hobby kept me happy for years when I was stuck living in Suffolk and rarely got to the Lane.
I was always told by adults that when I was older I'd realise that my infatuation with Tottenham was childish - obviously I never grew up....
I have some great photos taken with Hoddle, Mabbutt, Roberts, Danny Thomas, Gary Stevens and er Dave Leworthy
The most prized possesion is an away programme of the 84 UEFA cup final against Anderlect.
Also when I used to go with the old Spurs supporters club they all gave out a penant to mark us beating Liverpool back in the mid 80's at Anfield, when we hadn't beaten them since the titantic sunk.
Along with a few shirts, 100s programmes, including complete set of 81 & 82 FA Cup, all 84 Uefa cup and my favourite programme from the 100th N.London derby (complete with vintage style pics were Hoddle sports a nice shiner, a 4" gash on his forehead picked up the week before, which is the scar still visible now)
Rarest items are probably my pair of 7" Vinyl records, one of which is the full match commentary from the 61 Cup Final (completing our glorious double)
The other consists of the 1967 was it??? cup winning first team (Pat Jennings et-al) singing various hits of the time, with the dulcet tones (in the finest Dagenham accent) of Terry Venables crooning "Bye Bye Blackbird" the worst effort. Only topped two decades odd later, by Hod & Wad with "Diamond Lights"
dont know if this counts but last year for xmas i got a big leather bound 'sort' of book with all the major spurs newspaper articles since my year of birth, professionally done, signed by a few players and with 100 blank pages at the back so i can add my own articles, i know it doesnt sound great but you have to see it to understand it!
also got all the normal stuff, signatures, photo's with players etc
