IF we ever won it again under Ange's tenure, a stretcher would be the most appropriate way to display it

I'm laughing, otherwise I'd be crying my eyes out!
Anyone know why and when this picture was taken? The presence of Jimmy Greaves dates it as 1970 or earlier and it's clearly not a full strength team. We're using what I assume is a back-up goalkeeper and there is no sign of Kinnear, Chivers or Gilzean.
I'm assuming there is a reason why this picture was taken. It seems odd that it's just a team of 11 players rather than the whole first team squad.
According to one of the replies....
Managed to track this game this down. As I suspected, it was game on the 1969 Tour of North America, specifically against Glasgow Rangers in Toronto which we won 4-3. Team was Hancock; Want and Knowles; Perryman, Evans and Beal; Johnson, Greaves (C), Pearce, Pratt and Morgan. Thanks to Bob Goodwin's THFC Complete Record.
Sounds like the commercial pre-season touring was happening even then.
I remember standing on an open terrace, at the East end of Coventry's old Highfield Road ground, in the Spurs end, for a League Cup tie in December 1991. Spurs won it with Paul Allen scoring a brilliant goal. I think it finished 1-2. The other thing I remember was Fenwick having an absolute mare, one of many, and the bloke standing in front of me shouting at Terry Venables to replace Fenwick with a dustbin.

Still makes me laugh 33 years later.

Nice edit there Mrs. P. At first I wondered if you'd fallen asleep (

THAT Shirt is a thing of beauty - no trim, colour, tyre marks, florescent highlights and every other abomination we've suffered over the years.
They can muck about with the second and third kits as much as they like, but leave the lilywhite one lilywhite.
Actually I was typing it on my phone when my flight got called and I thought I had pressed send. Apart from a campari spritzer yesterday with my dinner, I've only had tea or apple juice this week!Nice edit there Mrs. P. At first I wondered if you'd fallen asleep (
