History Your favourite time supporting Tottenham.

[Eli]

Yes I know the periods when we were Winning things, aye right ……..I mean the season(s) when you look back on the fondest for different reasons now obviously the older you are the more you’ve to choose from and some may go as far back as the 60s, definitely the early 80s but success has been sporadic to say the least what the majority of us have are seasons that for us were success, European qualification, a cup final etc…… but my fondest or should I say memorable to look back as for me anyway was 93-95 …..we had this kit

we had these guys …..

Sugar as chairman well perhaps not the greatest…….from a football point view exciting we had the Romanians , Anderton, Barmby, Rocket Ronny beating Liverpool in the cup good times…….I’m picking this period as I’d kinda drifted away from football as a main interest other things in my life had taken over , some not for the better ………..posts for the Off Topic pages me thinks! but my interest in Tottenham was back with a vengeance and it’s never left since…

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

1976-1984.

 

[Crockett]

1978-84, the prime Ossie years basically.

The Martin Jol and Harry Redknapp teams were a lot of fun as well. Basically any time we didn't have a manager that sucked the joy out of everything ... Graham, AVB, Conte.

Early Poch was good too.

Oh, and El Tel.

 

[Coys1955]

Keep this thread live so I can say 2024-25 in nine months time ...

 

[Bobcat goldthwaite]

77/78 ..the year in the 2nd division travelling round the country being met by hostile natives was something else ..the few years after that under Keith Burkinshaw and the signings of ossie & Ricky breaking new ground and the ticker tape away days will live with me forever...


Early 80s fa and wafer cup wins where what thfc are all about.

 

[Larry David]

I’m 36 so unfortunately we’ve been shit all my life. When I was a kid it was the David Ginola seasons, I remember being at Selhurst Park to watch us beat Wimbledon 6-2 with Klinnsman scoring 4, good times

As an adult I’d say our first season in the champions league under Redknapp and the 2/3 seasons we competed for the title under Poch

Used to enjoy Europa league games at the Lane on Thursday nights, me and my pal would go out in town after the games aswell, turn up to work on Friday morning straight out of Fabric etc

If it was 'your favourite 2 seasons' it would be 1977-78 and 1978-1979.

Not sure many bods our age would disagree.

 

[El flaco]

86-93, so my first few years of supporting.
86/87 team through Venables, Gazza and the cup to Livermore/Clemence team with sheringham, anderton and barmby in first year of Prem and then it all went to shit for a decade+

 

[Cranston]

I’m 45 so missed the Ossie years.

Loved Jol.

Sound of all the seats in the old WHL as Lennon did what he always did.

I think football was just more exciting, full stop.

Then the possession nerds took over.

 

[Top_Spur]

Im 32 so I'm gonna go with the Jol season which was fantastic and then the early Poch years, I was a Bronze member then and used to go to a combination of home and away games all the time. The football and atmosphere was brilliant.

Bronze member in WHL used to be brilliant, was so easy to get tickets especially away games. Football then a night out, Aston Villa was great fun.

I think the Jol season was the Thomson kit too and I liked that one.

It was just a better day/night out imo.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Beating Woolwich 3-1 in 91 semi. Magical day that was. Was buzzing after all the way to the cup final. Winning the final was the cherry on the cake.

Favourite moment for me would probably be Ricky Villa scoring that goal at Wembley. Moura getting that winner would be up there.

 

[Sir Alfred Conn]

The season in Division 2 (That's The Championship to you youngsters)

Missed no more than 5 games home and away, absolutely brilliant visiting place like Mansfield, Bristol Rovers, Bolton etc. Huge followings everywhere. Some life long memories made that year.

Would agree with that. But would also lump in the relegation season too, the latter part especially.
I was 12/13 at the time and the excitement/tension was immense, with each passing game.

Can remember every moment.
