I dont think Young wouldve left Spurs by then. Might not even have joined us either.One for the album (?) . Not quite sure why you posted it on here ; if I’m being completely honest .
I’m guessing that’s Willie Young in the background ?
Funny old game ; as Jimmy used to say …
Looks like Marshy in the background.
maybe, but most people back then would just shrug it off (?) .. it was just football and fans didn't really care about what the club finances etc were?Still getting flashbacks to that Final...
1-0 up after 2 minutes, the Mabbutt o.g. the HOLSTEN shirts fiasco...
By my reckoning, what with that Final, and the 2nd leg of the League Cup Semi-Final a few months before against Woolwich were the first early incarnations of Spursy!!!
Greaves and Marsh played in a European XI (might explain the weird badge) in 1971 at UP in Geoff Hurst’s testimonial. I can’t think of any other game it could be given the evidence, and I too am fairly sure that’s UP.Looks like Marshy in the background.
Upton Park I'd say. Can make out the Chicken Run.

Saying all that, it does look slightly later in the 70s.
