Waddle, Clive Allen and Mabbutt aside, none of them would get near our current squad...

I don't recall ever seeing this photo, which is the main reason I posted it, but also have you ever seen Crooks looking so young? Problem of being a kid myself back then I guess things get a bit distorted and you end up remembering the players scoring goals and wearing the lilywhite.WOW!! That puts the Delli-Dier Bromance into perspective, dunnit???
How camp does Dembele look?
What's this?
Can't wait to see it. I thought that was a real book. Wanted to get my hands on it.it's an image created for our forthcoming 'memory lane' documentary SoCalSpurs .
it illustrates spurs's humble origins in the church, and characterises the religious fervour associated with supporting the club.
the photo appearing on the left-hand page is, perhaps, the first ever official team photo, featuring also rev john ripsher (the bible class teacher and father of spurs, second from the right, top row).
the image appearing on the right-hand page depicts the swashbuckling sir henry percy (aka harry hotspur), sword in hand at the battle of shrewsbury, where he lost his life rebelling against the double-crossing king henry iv.
What's wonderful about that pic is that at least 4 or 5 players don't look out of place!
