I remember when they put up those wretched fences (can't remember the date) and thinking what a sad day it was for football, but suppose they had to do something to combat hooliganism.
young Tottenham fans 83
i think my one may well have been in 69, as i was just at senior school as i took a girl in my class younger brother he must have been 8-9 yrs oldMy love affair with Spurs definitely started with the 67 Cup Final, and my first game was Sheffield Wednesday, 1 November 1969. How funny would it be if that was your first game too?! We could be Spurs twins
wonder if we were near each other ? I was in shelf side stand by the pitch nearly oppoisite the old players pitch entrance
Not so much retro, but from my first ever game at White Hart Lane, after seeing it on telly for 7 years.
Was seated in section J and the atmosphere was electric after Gylfi Siggurdson scored 1-0. Was shocked about the sound level under the old roof.
Drew 1-1, but it was a memorable day out. Got to be there five times, but unlucky never to see them win. I did however see them beat Olympiakos at the new stadium, which was first after 7 attempts.

great kit, the best imo
I was with my neighbour and his daughter, I was 13 and she was 11. We entered on the corner of Paxton and East stand, via the boys' entrance and it cost 3/6d. As we were pretty short, we stood at the front, the first person that caught my eye was Mike England and I heard Jimmy Greaves swear at the linesman for calling offside.
So Jimmy is to blame for your aversion to the C word.I was with my neighbour and his daughter, I was 13 and she was 11.

All makes sense now.
Actually it was the F word, but in 1969 it was pretty shocking to a 13 year old year girl.
Don't think Jimmy would have used that word.
Why ?
Genuine question btw, after all Jimmy said that swearing is part of sport. Something like that anyway.
