@SmithAbromley @tonimason2502 The writing was also on the wall in the 73/4 and 74/5 seasons - we took a degree of action and 75/6 looked like it had been stemmed - then a change of manager and 76/7 we crash landed into Division 2😱.

@Shindig53 @tonimason2502 Yes, been obvious for at least two seasons that a lot is wrong. We have all seen it and that makes the negligence and downright incompetence from the club even harder to take. COYS always!

Just because #coys that Friday feeling and Hello May 💚 when the football season ends, where will the lilywhites be for the next? Can't help who you fall in love with 🤍 enjoy your day everyone 🫶

@PaulCrook031150 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves I discovered a week later that a near neighbour and family (also Spurs fans) were in that end as well - although he probably got his tickets on the open market!

@Shindig53 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves We must have been standing close to each other because I had that same view of Jimmy’s goal! I’ve just never understood how you could get tickets from the Supporters Club and find yourself in the “wrong” end! Made enjoying the game properly impossible.

↩️ 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

@THFCOnThisDay One thing about being 73 is that I was blessed to see Danny playing for the Spurs back in the day! Still IMHO our greatest Skipper with due respect to Grimsdell, Rowe, Burgess et al - and the greatest of modern times, Steve Perryman.

↩️ 𝗢𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 • 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟬 Danny Blanchflower was honoured with a benefit match as Spurs faced a Northern Ireland XI. Paul Gascoigne stole the show with clown shoes and a cheeky penalty. A fun night celebrating a true Spurs legend and giving something back. #OnThisDay

@DeborahMattocks Have a good one though! One thing about retirement, Deborah, is that each day is like a Saturday BUT I still really miss the work environment and camaraderie. The four lovely Grandchildren that we are blessed to have make up for it all though! Have a good holiday weekend. xx

Happy Friday! This week has felt really long. Luckily today is a half day ☺️

Dad and I originally had tickets for the Leppings Lane Stand - which was the Spurs end. Four guys who got into our compartment on the train at Kings X politely asked if we could help them out as they had 2 tickets for one end and two for the other. My Dad, an obliging gent, agreed we duly swapped and we then ended up in the Penistone Rd end which was primarily Forest fans. Although we had an adventurous time, Dad said “never again”! Having said that, we had a superb view of both goals - the ‘bend’ that Jimmy put on that first goal was amazing!

@Shindig53 @THFCOnThisDay @jimmy_greaves You and me both mate! How the Hell did that happen?

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

@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 🤔
