I just think it's quite special being 60/61 years ago which matches the years of the season it was done...some sort of memorial unveiling at the new ground to that double winning side would be nice.Certainly should be celebrated
The first double in the 20th century was astonishing at the time, arguably easier ever since especially with the amount of money poured into clubs achieving similar. But considered impossible at the time.
Something theFA should also be celebrating
What Spurs should be doing ? A celebratory match but what else ? And against whom ?
Most of the players who achieved THE double of all time are sadly dead. So how to celebrate their lives ?
Talking this evening in the pub and a couple of us suddenly realised that next season will mark 60/61 years since the 60/61 Double season.
Such an occasion warrants celebrating , especially for those of us who were actually alive at the time. So plans are to be made for a trip over and an anniversary party weekend. Really looking forward to it already.
Maybe the club will have something planned too.
