He's been down there a lot this season. Different bloke from the CL trophy. It's a good laugh really, watching people put the lid on their heads, old-school style. As long as they don't drop it and dent it like Ossie did with the real one!1882 said:Talking of the Brickies... did anyone else get their photo with the FAke Cup on Tuesday??

I reckon you are thinking of the Coach and Horses. Its diagonally opposite what was Bootlaces. They have tons of memoribilia in there. The owner is a season ticket holder and he used to own Bootlaces till he sold it to the deadbeats who managed to turn it into a fucking chicken shop.
The Coach has a massive beer garden too. Decent boozer for match days.
Can anyone help? I've recently moved house and am now living close to Bruce Grove Station. I've been spending my time/wasting my life trying to piece together the pubs I remember going to after games. Found the 'No 8' (formerly 'The Bell & Hare'). Found the recently renovated 'The Bluecoats' (formerly the pretty grim 'The Pride of Tottenham'). There is one pub though I can't find - one I remember my Spurs supporting/season ticket owning former-boss taking me to before the Chelsea-Tottenham 1-1 back in December 2011. I remember the pub being busy (we had to stand) and the bar I believe was on the right hand side if you were looking in...Anyone know if that could have been 'Bootlaces'? Or does anyone have any interior 'Bootlaces' photos? I remember the pub being close to White Hart Lane station and is not 'The Bricklayers' - thanks!!
Chequers Plays PoppadomBootlaces was a little further up the high Road, formerly known as the Chequers.
I believe it’s one of them tacky takeaways now.
