Memory Lane

[Gassin's finest]

Anyone remember Stuart Pearce and Pat Van Den Hauwe going in for a 50/50 at WHL? The whole ground held it's breath

Early cult hero for me, absolute nails.

I know that memory misjudgement thing. I just checked and I didn't go to any away tie in the 84 winning year - apart from the 1st leg of the final in Brussels.
I didn't miss many matches at all in the 1980's home or away.

Yeah same with me....That's why the following year we went to Brugge & Prague...

A proper Spurs fan will spot something in this old clip...
.

the only thing I noticed was that it was filmed from the main stand compared to just above the shelf

I still have nightmares about him. I used to work in a pub not far from the training ground (the white hart, flammstead end) and him and Paul Walsh came in for a beer. it was early evening and usually dead so was a great time to fill the shelves. all of a sudden I heard a bottle of beer get knocked over, so I shouted out "be careful", he replied with something like, "think you're the 1 that needs to be careful" in a growling voice.

Not sure this is something you’d want to watch, but if you’re a masochist they have the 87 cup final on ITV 4.

I’ve just watched a bit of the build up and interesting to see Greavsie all pally pally with Coventry and saying he’d like to see them win it. I think he definitely had the needle with Spurs and the way it ended with us.

This match was my first real introduction to being a Spurs fan and endless disappointment, so I think I’ll watch the start and then turn it off and pretend we won it

I have never watched this on TV.. I was there. A closed door in my memory with some wooden slats nailed across the frame just in case.

Yeah probably best kept that way then.

Just watched the first half highlights and we look nervous and shaky at the back. Some things never change eh?

Derby away, remembering The Popside, a Chivers long throw-in and probably my favourite Spurs kit of all time.

Those Chiv long throws were a thing of beauty. What a player he was.

Eye wuz thar.
Bloke next to me (to my left) got a sharpened penny in his cheek.

Wasn't the Popside Leicester or Derby as well maybe?
Always remember the Leicester one.
We were crewed up that day and from the back came this chant
"Leicester City Popside Agro Boys"
I turned to round to see their leader a giant version of the Milky Bar Kid resplendent in green rolling jacket.
We all p*ssed ourselves.

I do! There was literally a collective intake of breath! Two players nicknamed Psycho!
I met Pat van den Hauwe at one of the dinner and dances they used to have. He was very shy off the pitch and that was the only one he went to. When I shook his hand, he held it a little longer than necessary! lol. (I didn't mind at all!)

Remember when we played them in the cup we were 3-1 up and they smashed us 3-5 with a Roger Davis master class that night and another Big Chiv throw in..

I was at the Saturday tie and the standing joke was the board (Sid Wale and Co) always loved to draw those away cup ties to get the replay and the extra money.

I was living in South Tottenham at the time and walked home broken hearted after that disaster.

One of many more to come down the years.

Sort of Spurs history...

17 year old Ray Clemence, having just joined Scunny from Grimsby Town:

My Dad's been telling me about going to the matches when he was 15/16, and watching him. He says that S****horpe had a good team of youngsters back then, that naturally got picked apart... mostly by Liverpool who signed Clem 2 years later, then Keegan 2 years after that. Burkinshaw retired as player-caretaker manager in '68 after 100 appearances.

S****horpe unfortunately then spent the next 30 years in the league's basement, until promotion in 1999.
