David Guthrie

The £100k plus foursome - and the days when Tottenham used to spend big on quality! Sad to think that 3 of them are no longer with us.

@MIGHTYSPURZ 👏👏👍

He already is you numpty

@AnthonyAshton1 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves So was mine!

@Shindig53 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves My Dad was at the Final

↩️ 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 • 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟳 @jimmy_greaves and Frank Saul were on target as Spurs beat Nottingham Forest to book their place in the FA Cup Final. Played at Hillsborough Stadium in front of 55,000 fans, it ended Forest’s hopes of chasing the Double. #OnThisDay #THFC

@robertmdaws @SouthamptonFC As I first knew him!

MARTIN CHIVERS born in Southampton, where he began his professional career with his hometown club, @SouthamptonFC . He became a prolific goalscorer at The Dell before making a British record-breaking move to Tottenham Hotspur in 1968. He scored 108 goals in 189 appearances for Southampton across all competitions before his departure

@BeckydBecky @WhiteHartLiz Happy Birthday Liz! Have a lovely day - and keep the faith! COYS!

@JPearce1946 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves @Cliff_Jones11 It is indeed Jim!

@Shindig53 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves @Cliff_Jones11 Is that Mike England in the picture David?

↩️ 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 • 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟮 @jimmy_greaves scored for the 9th time in a row, as Tottenham Hotspur beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 in front of 55,183 — a record crowd for their visit. Terry Medwin, Bobby Smith & @Cliff_Jones11 were also on target. #OnThisDay #THFC

@THFCOnThisDay Interesting THFC connection with AC's Goalkeeper, Fabio Cudicini, being the father of Carlo who later kept goal for the Spurs!!

↩️ 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 • 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟮 Tottenham Hotspur reached their first ever UEFA Cup Final after a hard-fought 1–1 draw away at AC Milan. Alan Mullery got the goal on the night, adding to the 2–1 first-leg win to seal a famous aggregate victory. #OnThisDay #THFC

@BeckydBecky @robtdaly @xavisimons My other half came running down the stairs wondering what had happened such was the noise that yours truly can still make when the Spurs score a cracker!! 😄😄

@Tottenham_Feed Very much agreed and such a shame we couldn't have had him earlier in the season. Even if we go down, I can see him then (with Board support) mould a side very much in his image that will come storming back - and surpass the way we did it in 1978 under the General.

Really like RDZ. Needed him earlier but have faith in our future with him regardless of the outcome this season. #THFC | #COYS | #TOTTENHAM

@THFCOnThisDay And scores a brilliant goal in this cracker towards the end of the otherwise sad relegation season of 76/77 - but at least the lads still showed heart! youtube.com/watch?v=rosYHJ…

🎂 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆 • 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 Happy birthday to former Spurs forward Chris Jones! Chris made 185 appearances, scoring 42 goals, and was part of both the 1977 relegation and 1978 promotion sides. A player who saw it all in lilywhite. #HappyBirthday

@thegloryboys @LikeAnsi @BeckydBecky Gooner pals of mine were absolutely aghast at the sight of their beloved North Bank being entirely turned into a sea of THFC Navy Blue and White!!🤣🤣🤣

@Shindig53 @LikeAnsi @BeckydBecky Thanks David. What a great night it was COYS

@BeckydBecky Enjoy - the night in 1981 we took over old enemy’s ground at Highbury in order to clinch a place in the FA Cup Final!!

@thegloryboys @LikeAnsi @BeckydBecky It was later confirmed that the FA sanctioned Highbury recognising that Spurs fans had twice the distance to travel to Sheffield for the Hillsborough game than the Wolves crowd.

@Shindig53 @LikeAnsi @BeckydBecky Still can't believe the FA chose it as the venue for the replay 🤔

At a function recently several of us baby booming children of the 1950’s contrasted shoe size with Grandchildren - we all measured between 7 and 9 (I’m an 8) - the Generation to come all started around 12 and upwards! Whatever they put in the protein and carbs these is powerful!!!

We had a successful trip 🥳 Size bloody 10! And he’s still growing. He’s a giant child now. I can’t say I care for the new patting me on the head thing 😂

@Matt_Barlow_DM @OllieHolt22 THFC Director: “The trouble with you Blanchflower, is that you think you have an answer for everything!” Danny: “Ah God love yer as someone who doesn’t even understand the question in the first place!”

With excellent timing, a new book on the great Danny Blanchflower 💯 celebrating centenary of his birth ⭐️ Surely Tottenham’s greatest ever captain, how they could do with him now and all that… With thx to his son Richard ⬇️ mol.im/a/15735965

That’s absolutely true - other than Bill Nick just ran through the Atletico side as a matter of course and what to watch out for - nothing over the top. And then the Great Captain - to lighten the mood and with his own gift of the gab - went through our side just to even it up! However - it got out afterwards and became folklore of course!!!

Respectfully disagree, Steve. I’m old enough to remember the legendary stories about a former Spurs captain, Danny Blanchflower. Apparently, before the 1963 ECWC Final, Bill Nicholson was telling the Spurs team that Athletico were something special. When Bill left the changing room, Danny gave his own team talk and waxed lyrical about every Spurs player sitting there. He made them believe and look how they played that night long ago.

Never needed a skipper, Marcus, the skipper is for going up for the toss of the coin at the start of the game!Anyone that needs a “ skipper “ to help him through the game shouldn’t be playing in it, all 11 on the pitch have to be “ skippers “ thats how you win things !

Superb - and nearer to fact than fiction!!

@BeckydBecky @_LukeSheehy Not just that, but the neat yellow top incorporating the real and beloved Tottenham Fighting Cockerel - and not the latter day Road Runner concoction produced by Levy for Licensing revenue! 😡

Of course they are delivered today when the last thing I want to think about is Tottenham…
