Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
:avbfacepalm:
We did yes! We were in the Park Lane and the Paxton was filling up and we thought it would be them but it was all Spurs. The whole ground was us and at the end there was a resounding bye bye Chelsea. One of the best days at WHL.
Another one of my Dad's favorite stories lol
Thanks for making me feel even older than I already do!
I couldn’t wait to get into work to stick it up these ManU and Scum cunts that I used to work with !!
I saw him score in the 2-1 over the Chavs which sent them down
Was in the Shelf and lots of their <removed>s tried to get in from the Paxton and we gave them a friendly reception!
I was in the corner of the Shelf adjacent to the Paxton and a fair few of them were in there
Their leader appeared to be a fat cunt in a light blue cardigan who looked remarkably like this
When I first saw this emoji I thought it was him but apparently it’s a Dipper
Ghaly , thankfully his now legendary status justifies me rushing out to get a tattoo when he signed
Yup. There wasn't that much live football on the telly back in those days.
And yet we'd been able to watch an amazing World Cup in Argentina in colour :lamelashock: , and a wiry little dynamo named Osvaldo Ardiles linking it all together for the new World Champions.
There also wasn't any interweb thingy, and newspaper transfer gossip columns barely existed.
1978 was an ITK free world and all the better for it.
Then, entirely out of the blue, Ardiles rocked up to join the famous Spurs, along with some big bearded guy named Ricardo Villa that we'd hardly seen play, apart from one match where Menotti put him on as the enforcer when Brazil tried to kick the home nation out of the tournament.
I vaguely remember some hypocritical kneejerk punditry saying Villa was a filthy player who shouldn't be allowed to grace the English game. This was in the era of Norman Hunter, Chopper Harris and Tommy Smith, who made Ricky look like an angel.
Anyway, I remember standing on the Shelf amidst a cloud of white ticker tape as Ossie and Ricky joined Glenn Hoddle in our pure footballing midfield.
Amazing days.
Yes those were the North End Road ones that did turn up. They are to be seen getting kicked all over the pitch when they attempted to escape later.I was in the corner of the Shelf adjacent to the Paxton and a fair few of them were in there

Remember seeing "Alfie Conn is God" daubed on one of the walls around WHL.
South/West corner?
I can remember getting to London at 6am on a Sunday morning from a Bob Dylan concert and reading the Sunday papers.
Incredible getting two World Cup winners after only coming up from Div 2 the season before!
I was there as an 11 year old, with my dad. Can still vividly recollect the first pitch invasion from the Park Lane end.
Talking of crowd trouble; We were at the Feyenoord home game the year before. What always seems to go unnoticed is the behaviour of their fans that evening. They were in the East Upper seats and spent most of the game chucking objects on us, situated below. I saw some Feyenoord fans getting a severe beating afterwards, because of this. Quite eye opening for a wee nipper.
Yes there were some clogs in the Paxton seats too getting similar treatment.
