Before my time Jennings. I only remember him playing for the Islington side- great keeper and to this day I’m convinced he let Garth Crooks score in the 1:0 fa cup third round win of 1981/2. at the Lane
My first hero at Spurs.
Shows how highly he is thought of that even after joining that lit,he is still remembered fondly.

Yes, I can't begin to think of another player that could be liked so much by both elements of the equation, by a direct move from one to the other. Probably helped that we didn't give him what he wanted, and it wasn't a case of him leaving us by choice. I could be wrong but I don't recall a great deal of shock/outrage at the time. All this being so, and as much as I hugely respect Jennings, as player and person, I can't put him in 'hero' bracket for the fact he did move up the road (for which I don't attach blame to him).
Still see him at Stevenage to this day at reserves and youth matches. Top man.
He didn't want to go! In those days a player might come out of a long career with a pub or small business.
Players had little choice of where they were transferred to.
It was not his fault penny pinching by directors
Hard to see Pat in a gooner shirt, but lovely to see Stevie, all young and handsome

Good article. Not sure why he thought it was not known he was pushed out at Spurs. I knew and the only info I had at the time was the Press and TV.
