Anyone have number of games played in europe stats for Defoe and Chivers?

OK, looking at MyFootballFacts page on this seems quite close, Defoe 34 games, Chivers 32 games

(EDIT I wonder if he included sub appearances?)

So well done Jermaine, mind you Chivers' Spurs did get to two UEFA cup finals, winning in 1972 and losing in 1974.

I think Hoddle spoke as well?!
Few years back now though,but one i had to attend, i cancelled a few things on that Sunday to get there.Sometimes you have to make the effort.I was(and am) only a bus ride away,so no excuses from me.

A memory of watching Martin Chivers along with some other spurs players playing a Cricket match one summer has just come back to me.
It might have been up Cheshunt Country club...I'll ask my brother.

Why no blue tick?

Takes a bit of time and/or money I guess. Suspect he's only gone on it to push the sales of legends nights, hopefully, he uses it like Cliff Jones.

What did Greaves say about Jones ?
I've probably seen it before but can't remember.

Kane is only 6 goals behind him. I reckon 4 goals behind him after tomorrow.
But it's almost certain Martin will always stay as our most prolific League Cup scorer.

CHIVERS	23
DEFOE	14
TEDDY	13
ALLEN	13
KANE	5

I'd probably fail a drug test if you did, cokehead.....

So you’ve morphed into Multi/Larry??

Loved Big Chiv though

Only second to Gilzean and Greaves, IMO

Isn't that 3rd?

the sign of a genius - making it look so simple that it makes you feel you can do it.

Martin had the lot

Physique
Technique
Pace
Strength
Ball control
Etc

But he could be bullied out of games
Larry Lloyd
Roy McFarlane both spring to mind but he was a hell of a player

For a couple of seasons in the early 70’s he was probably best centre forward in Europe.
A bit soft at times when faced with Tommy Smith at anfield. Usually got a whack in first ten minutes and disappeared.
Great combination with Gilzean

He used to own a pub in Brookmans Park that I used to go to as a kid. I must have spoken to him two dozen times in there.

Someone needs to tell him that social media has been around for like 17 years or so. It’s not new.

I remember that.As you said,very very moving.
As Bills memorial service,,Can't remember if Chiv spoke at that or not.Greaves was funny,in a very respectful way.His recounting of when Cliff Jones went to ask for a rise was hiliarious.
For a while,,as in the early- mid 70s Martin Chivers name was one of the best known in English football.Certainly in the circles that this here young kid moved in.

Yes he did. His autobiography is a good read.
