Once spent a few minutes talking at him while pissed in the west stand exec boxes.

Think I told him what a legend he was, such a shame he’d played for the other lot, asked him about his favourite ever saves.

Basically annoyed him. I remember him appearing a bit bemused.

I finished by shaking his hand and saying something like “you are a true Tottenham legend. Although I never actually saw you play for Spurs.”

He just shook my hand and smiled at this idiot in front of him.
Probably one of my finest moments.

Fuck! I hate it when these older player threads re-surface out of the blue....

Hahahahah... I had a similar experience when I blagged corporate entry via work some years back. All felt a bit random as we weren't in tune with 'the posh seats'; seeing him as we sat for 15mins half-time power-drinking and I just blurted out loudly "Fuck.... It's Pat Jennings!".... Some riff-raff infiltrating the posh seats is probably a weekly occurrence for him I reckon. He just sat down and chewed the fat with me and my mate for a bit and parted with an "enjoy ya beers, lads".

Pad the Lad. :adesalute:
 
Met him when I was a little kid. He picked me up in his giant hands, and I've lived there ever since. Normally between the knuckles of the ring and pinky, occasionally roaming the plains of his palm to find food and water.

Didn't want to just post this video on the spurs YouTube thread but want to know your reaction to Pat playing for both rival clubs. Yes it was a long time ago and most of us, if not all of us wasn't even alive when it happened.

I just find it strange that even though the spurs directors where being cunts to him, that he would not only take it out on them but also on the fans and join the scum.

From what I understood the board were at fault for him leaving. It's never sat right with me that he went there but it's not similar to the Judas situation or anything like that. It's like Adebayor and Gallas being here now, for me that's not a perfect situation, but I'm happy to support them still. In an ideal world a Spurs player would never contemplate playing for the filth but we all know they will do what they consider to be the best move for their career.
 
pat jennings didnt want to leave, but the club thought [wrongly by a long way] that he was getting old and we had barry daines coming through to replace him. daines wasnt much good [blackpool at home 2-2 and bristol rover away ffs] also, pat was really the first keeper to prove that you could play well into your 30's, friedal types wouldnt exist without pat. was a pity he went to them cunts but its a testiment to the man that he remains a legend at both clubs.
he also played his last competive game for us, and i was there.
 
I've met Pat a couple of times. He is real quiet gentleman, who has never lost his roots in his home town nor at Spurs. Has had that same haircut for 40 years. When I was young, he was always my Spurs hero, until Glenn came along.

I also met Terry Neill who told me about the transfer of Pat to Woolwich.
 
I remember I walked in front of his car when I was drunk after a game a few seasons ago, he stopped and waved me across the road. Nice man.
 
I met him after he'd spoke at the 125 anniversary thing at the O2. I went to the toilet then as I left he'd come off stage and I got his autograph. Great guy with massive hands
 
Total legend and total gentleman. I met him a couple of years ago after a game against Reading (I think). YPL was (quite rightly) MotM. Met him that day too.
