Has to be 1948 I reckon.
What a photo - our title-winning captain, Ron Burgess, up against the great Stanley Matthews in 1949
FA Cup semi final at Villa Park.
My father was at this game and the semi final in '53 against the same team at the same venue.
He always blamed Sir Alf for the '53 defeat. Said it was 1-1 until the last few minutes, when his under hit back pass allowed them to score the winner.
Yes, you're right.

Does anyone know why we are playing in our FA Cup away kit for this game?There are some great photos on the Spurs official site, inspired by the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee; looking back at the time when she came to the throne. Here are a few of my favourites:

Love those. Some dodgy fashions though, but a good excuse to see my favourite player of all time

How a Tottenham Hotspur soccer player saved my father-in-law’s life
Fella on the left wearing what I think should be the Tottenham Away kit, all day long!
Plain Navy shirt,
Simple white trim,
Classic Cockerel on the chest...
DONE!
And the 3rd kit the yellow version of that t shirt. I wouldn't mind them alternating them 2 every once in a while
I'll go out on a limb here and say that I think that a vast majority of supporters would go along with that. Unfortunately, there's no money to be made by sticking with the same colours for the away kits. The fact that there is even a need for a third kit is ludicrous, if you get the right away colours, there is no way that you will clash with the opposing team.
True,but I still think they only need change one kit a year. I suppose problems would arise if he change the company though.
Oh well
Oh well
And I knew them all (have to admit I did have to enlarge it to recognise one of the players!)
All that hair! I still prefer "skinhead" Stevie.
On the subject of away kits. Here's all our 'change' kits from the year dot.

Man I LOVE this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you sure that's 94/95? I'm not seeing the purple away strip we used for that season and Thorstvedt's goalkeeping kit is from 93/94. There is also a lot of gear that was used for 91/92 and 92/93 and by 94/95 most of that stuff had gone.
