I'm so old I have no idea what that means.

Thanks very much but I have every home since 1950. Thank you anyway.
Holy crap!
I have every home league programme since we were promoted to Division 1 in 1950. From 1950/51 to present day. I haven't attended them all no.
Ah, my mistake. I misread your initial post.
That's an impressive collection.
Do you have a favorite?
It may have crossed your mind already, but such a comprehensive collection really ought to be digitally scanned & preserved.
Watch with Mother
Andy Pandy
Bill and Ben
Pinky and Perky
Crossroads on before the News with that music
Radio Rentals TV with an aerial on top with the picture going fuzzy when you walked in front of it
The Big Match in B/W, with the original music. Da-da-da-daaaa, da-da-daaaa, da-da-da-da-daaaa, da-da-da-da-da - booom boom, boom
Footballers with short hair when everyone else was going long
Shoot! and Goal
Evening Standard with a different footie column every day of the week (Thursday is Spursday, groan)
Waiting for the Sat Evening News to come out at the stations so we could see all the results and write ups
The excitement of seeing the BBC/ITV lorries at the back of the East Stand - "WE'RE GONNA BE ON THE TELLY!!!!"
Pounds Shillings and Pence, 12 times tables
England as World Cup holders
The Home Nations at the end of the season
Sportsnight on telly, and being annoyed when they featured something random like greyhound racing and not footie
crisps with a little blue bag of salt

Just calculated that in 2033 I will have been alive for exactly half the lifetime of the club. Interesting, huh?
And we were as happy as pigs in shit !!
I may be only 25, but I'm damn good at Maths.
Thank you. The 80s and 90s are all in the blue official club programme binders with the 50s, 60s and 70s in home made folders.Ah, my mistake. I misread your initial post.
That's an impressive collection.
1966/67 because I found a white official club binder to keep them in at a car boot sale. The guy said he wanted £2 for it (Just the binder no programmes inside)
I said to him he was doing himself a dis-service as it would likely fetch higher if listed on ebay. I ended up giving him £15 and still consider that a bargain.
Not sure if photos cam be loaded on here to show you? I have a Facebook group called 'The history of Tottenham Hotspur ' which shows it too.
Wow, impressive! I take it you have them all in binders, in date order, in a fire proof vault.
All in binders and in chronological order yes in a spare room on a bookcase.
I’m so ancient that I was alive to see the last trophy the club won

I knew Andy Porter quite well, we used to see each other on the Supporters' Club away trips. Lovely guy, gone too soon.
I hope you are successful in getting the position, when the time comes.
A gentleman yes. Thank you although there will be a long list of better men and women than me.
I do wonder what the club are planning, if anything, when John Fennelly decides to retire full time.
