Tottenham Memorabilia

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the 60’s.

It was considered impossible to do “The Double” as no team had achieved the feat in the 20th century, that is until Bill Nicholson came along.  He created the great “Push and Run” Spurs side of the sixties that wrote football history, not only doing The Impossible Double” in 1961, but becoming the first British side to win a major European Trophy.

League Champions and FA Cup Winners 1961 (The Impossible Double), Community Shield Winners

League Runners Up and FA Cup Winners 1962 (European Cup Semi-finalists), Community Shield Winners

League Runners Up and UEFA Cup Winners Cup 1963

FA Cup Winners and Community Shield Winners 1967 

 

Our hero’s in 61 were:

                       Brown

Baker            Norman          Henry

     Blanchflower       Mackay

Dyson           White              Jones
           Smith            Allen

The players:
Bill Brown - Scotland- GK
Peter Baker - England- RB
Maurice Norman - England - Centre-half
Ron Henry - England - LB
Danny Blanchflower - N Ireland - Deep lying play maker
Dave Mackay - Scotland - Defensive midfielder/ box to box midfielder
Terry Dyson - England -Right Wing
John White - Scotland -Attacking midfield
Cliff Jones - Wales- Left wing
Bobby Smith - England - Striker
Les Allen - England - Forward

Another winning streak like that under Juande Ramos would go down very nicely.

If you want signed shirts by the Double Winners visit Tottenham Memorabilia where you can also get DVD’s of all the finals.
