Just met up with some old Spurs friends and it got me thinking about my time as a Spurs fan, and through some lean years have gathered some great memories.
But was thinking what is my best memory as a Spurs fan...
There have been some top moments, my first season as a regular at the Lane was in 89/90 we started standing (yes standing) in the Paxton but i couldn't hack that so we moved to Paxton upper half way through the season.
Remember feeling that every free-kick from about 25 yards out would be a goal such was Gazza's accuracy. I remember some days during my first season where we would turn up without tickets and get quite reasonably priced tickets from touts (at about 2.55pm when they started panicking) but only a few times.
Had some great away days, mainly the company kept and journeys to grounds that made them what they were (especially on a trip to Anfield when we never actually made the game despite having tickets but had a top day none the less)
Been to a few Dinner & Dances, one where after seeing Gazza leave his seat i took it upon myself (with great timing i might add) to utter the phrase "Is Gascoigne going to have a crap.... (just as he turns into the bathroom) He is you know! :grin:
Another D & D memory where i went to the toilet (not only got toilet based memories) and was at the urinal emptying my unusually large bladder when i hear a stream start up next to me, and who should be standing there? None other than Darren Anderton, who looks at me and says "alright?" now i know he's being polite but that's bad bathroom etiquette! you don't speak to a stranger taking a piss, even if he does know you, what can i say in return? 'Nice Penis!'
No i didn't say that, don't remember even looking, just nodded and carried on... Worst thing about the Dinner & Dances was that one year when we got there we discovered that Peter Cook was due to have given the after dinner speech. But he had just died and instead we had to endure a speech by Richard Fucking Littlejohn (actual middle name)
But the best moment has to be on my first trip to Wemberly on a fateful day 14th April 1991 :hump: everything about the day was top, I had had a great night the night before where most of my mates were jealous as they were only watching on TV (not enough points)
From the songs sung on the way there in the underground, seeing the beautiful Spurs team on the hallowed turf up against the (historically and still at this point) long ball Goons, can't remember much about the game TBH but i know if a put a dvd in the memories come flooding back (so it's not Alzheimer's...) all i can really remember are the goals and (i think?) one moment where Gazza slapped Lee Dixon (started off as a sort of yeah yeah alright mate gesture of a slap with three little taps, but then in the end gave him a real clout :rofl: )
After the first goal i just remember jumping up and down and hugging my brother, but by the 2nd & 3rd goals the hugging and jumping around had become so broad that i was hugging and jumping on people from 4-5 rows away (took this chance to give a nice hug to a young lady i had spotted a few rows ahead of me :wink
in the tunnel down Wembley way on the way back to the station i also remember some great banter with the double feeling songs blasting out, and there didn't appear to be any hostility from the Goons...
There have been plenty of good memories since; games like The 5-1 Vs Chelsea in the Cup and whole renditions of "what do you wanna make those eyes at me for" sung at the Lane that spring to mind, but the above are my best memories of my time as a Spur.
Anyone else care to share theirs...
