Such sad news 
Saw him play many times.
My childhood hero. (along with Pat)
One of my first Spurs memories is of him scoring with a header at the Paxton end against Huddersfield, in Aug '71.
A pioneer of the long throw. Who can ever forget "Chivers, Chivers" echoing around the ground, when he was about to launch one to the near post, for Gillie to flick on.
Very lucky to see him.play many times..had a long throw before long throws where part of the game..skilful for such a big powerful man and a bullet shot on him.
He never really got on with Billy nic but if your unaware they became like father and son as they got older..I think it was chiv that led Billy out for his testimonial if I recall .
I hope the players turn up for him tonight , get the win and dedicate it to one of the legends of spurs!
He was the striker when I first started watching and supporting.
Fantastic athlete, great shot off either foot, great in the air, deceptively quick.

I see him in the underground carpark the other day after the Sunderland game and he looked the picture of health , this is sudden . R.I.P. Big fella
Same. Absolute beast of a player.
Blimey that’s brought a tear to my eye. Not only for the Spurs Nostalgia and big Chiv but the home internationals as well. I used to love those as a kid. So much better than the over sanitised VAR infected shit that gets served up now
Proper player, hard as nails and knew where the back of the net was
RIP Big Chiv.
RIP Big Chiv.
You’d hope.
My worry is how many of them know of him?
It shouldn’t matter, so let’s hope not.
Remember that game we won 4-1 I think
I was in the shelf that day
Happy days
Awful news, my first real football hero.
Requiescat In Pace Don Martin.

Will the team win tonight and honour big chiv.
Apart from being a brilliant centre forward he was also responsible for spotting Glenn Hoddle.
Ironically Frank would absolutely love him.
