7.

8.

to have players out for the whole season, even-though the initial prognosis suggested 2 weeks with a minor knock
 
Seasin we won at Oldham (I think when Ossie was manager) to stay up. was rained off one week, and played the week after. we 'borrowed' a rather nice audi from the company carpool for the drive up, and listened t CD's rather than the radio on the drive. Were on the M56 manchester orbital when we put the radio on and found out the game was off. So we drove across to Sheffield, stopped in a pub near to where I were brought up, had a quick pint, and drove back home again. Furthest Ive ever been for just one beer.

After the game when we beat Leeds 4-2 to avoid relegation. Standing on the pitch at the end of the game, I turned to my mates and said "What a fucking brilliant season", and they all agreed.

We'd just avoided relegation FFS!!!!

I was at that game too, right at the front of the Park Lane..... we were getting a bit squashed and my sister was pulled out by the St John Ambulance guy as she felt a bit faint. He wanted to take her out but she said she was feeling a bit better, so he let her sit on the little bench on the other side of the wall, whilst I had to fend for myself in the crowd!!! Brilliant night though, up there with all the cup wins, etc
 
My dad walked into a lamppost up Tottenham High Street, which is pretty embarrassing in its self. It was made even worse that a load of Woolwich being given a police escort saw it all :harryfacepalm: Ah well, we won 2-1 so it turned out alright in the end!
 
Liverpool away in the cup, when Jurgen scored the winner in the last few minutes - 1996/97 ? When we went outside, some guy landed a great big smacker (kiss) .... on a police horse!!

FA Cup game against Manchester City at Maine Road, when Nayim scored a hat trick - sometime in the 90s I think ..... on the way home there was a group of Spurs supporters travelling back in a converted ambulance, and our guys stuck their heads out of the window and sang "You're going home in a London Ambulance!"

Notts County again in the Cup sometime in the late 80s - they played You Can't Hurry Love by Phil Collins and a group of us standing in on the terraces did the little dance that Phil did in the video.

Coming home from the 1981 Cup Final, we had hired a mini bus, which every time we went round the corner, the back door would fly open, so one of the guys had to sit at the back holding it shut for the entire journey. Singing at the top of our voices to Do Wah Diddy ...... "There she was, just a walking down the street singing ..... I'm a Yiddo, who the f***ing hell are you!" Seeing a gooner on the way home, and the minibus nearly going over on its side, as everybody went to one side to shut abuse at him.

Sure there's so many others, but my poor brain is in meltdown

And I was where? ..... oh yeah, at the front of the Park Lane! :D
 
Before an 1882 game. I got into the bricklayers 30 minutes before kick off. I tried to neck as much beer as possible. I drank about 4 pints in 30 minutes and had to do the world's biggest shit inside the ground, missed the first 10 minutes.

Acting a dick before Leeds away and nearly getting nicked.

Sunderland away, I got pretty destroyed drinking whiskey inside the ground. At HT I was coming back from a piss and I saw Park Lane James Park Lane James instead of walking over to him (where my seat was anyway) I tried to throw a cold hash brown at him. Ended up hitting some BSH in the face.

Coming home from Stoke and a bloke was dressed as an Egyptian. Several pissed yids sung walk like an Egyptian for three hours.

Another one that isn't Spurs.
Barnet vs Southend. A Southend fan is giving me mouth all game, he says he's going to stab me. About 10 of us lot (Barnet) lean over into the away end, grab him, give him a slap and tell him to 'pipe down cause he's in fucking Barnet'. One of the oddest moments in my life.
