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

@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.

🎂 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

@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.

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!!!

@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!”

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 !

@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! 😡
