Happy Birthday to a great player.
Some of the current lot really should swat up on some old videos of true spurs legends.
 
I used to get off the bus by the old Dave Mackay shop before walking down down the high road to the ground. One hell of a player, the great Brian Clough said he was his best ever signing.
 
I disagree. He was a hell of a player, had the ability to go with his combatative nature.

I agree, the man had bags of ability. But tackling of pretty much any format is now outlawed, so hed be off in no time. Im not saying he was a dirty player, just a hard one, and there arent many of them left in the game now, if any.

And that's what is missing, the hard men of football: Spurs Legend Dave Mackay a top draw player.
 
I would have loved to have seen him play live. According to reports, he was the final piece in the jigsaw for Billy Nick and complemented Blanchflower to a T. Although he had a reputation of being a hard man, Mackay was as skilful as anyone who has worn the lilywhite shirt. That picture with Bremner is iconic - it was Mackay's first game back after suffering two broken legs and Bremner, being the dirty dog he was, went in over the top. The look on his face paints a thousand words. Mind you, if Mackay had done that now, he would have been red-carded.
 
I am going to get either that or Bill Nick at the gates - but probably end up getting both!
I want to go LARGE but the long suffering Mrs has yet to be convinced.
you got a link to where i can buy those from? already got the famous mackay one & a signed one of Hoddle but gonna grab the old man another for christmas
