    Spurs 51 Title team

    I saw Ted Ditchburn play a couple of times for us in our Reserves/ Combination side around 1959, the season I became a lifelong Spurs supporter. A great keeper, brave and much loved. yes, the 1951 team deserves better recognition for their "push and run" style that changed football in England.

    Best crap players and worst good players

    There's quite a few to chose from in the "worst Good Player" category. Anyone else remember Alan Brazil? Great striker for Ipswich but just didn't fire for us. Also Ralph Coates. Lovely person but wasn't able to replicate his from with Burnley and England when he joined us. Shame as he really...

    Joe Kinnear. Dementia.

    Very sad to hear this. A quality player and not really old. Played alongside Pat Jennings, Cyril Knowles and Mike England in a very good teqm that never realised its full potential. Famous for engaging in a bit of biffo with Brian Kidd when both got sent off in aan FA cup tie at WHL.

    RIP Jimmy Greaves

    What terribly sad news. Jimmy was my boyhood idol and I was privileged to see him play and to witness his incredible goal-scoring feats. His 4 goals against Notts Forest, his much-viewed classic against Man U, his truly brilliant individual effort against Leicester. The list goes on. One of the...

    Ardiles

    A true world-class player. Great passer of the ball and tenacious. yes, Scott Parker is a reasonable comparison.

    Hoddle or Greaves?

    unfortunately, I am of the age where I can say I have seen both play. Fortunately, I am also able to say I'm privileged to have seen both in action. Bit of a silly poll in the sense it's like comparing apples and oranges. both geniuses but Jimmy was just incredible and could conjure goals out...
