I liked to get near the tunnel when I could, it was an extra 10p to get in the Enclosure, so had to be a special occasion!

Yes that is the front figure in white, I was talking about the guy in the background in blue.
Pat kept clean sheets in his last 5 North London derbies at the library.
That was a great place to stand by the tunnel, and made for some interesting banter with away fans! I had a standing season ticket in the enclosure up until we got shifted to the middle of the shelf when the new west stand was built. Was popular with those who previously frequnted that area of the shlf, but they simply moved down to what became the cage, and the rest is history.I liked to get near the tunnel when I could, it was an extra 10p to get in the Enclosure, so had to be a special occasion!
I still have 3 scrapbooks at home from the late 70's and early 80's.
Plenty of match tickets inside. Away to Liverpool amongst them. The 7-0 game. A quid to get in.
Even when the Enclosure was ST holders only, you could still bung the bloke on the turnstiles some dosh.
Last time I stood there was the game against Man Utd in 1980.
I was at that. I was the pretty boy.
That was my first away game.
My first proper away game. Although I had seen us play there in a Football Combination match in 1971.
Side issue with that photo of all the Tottenham shirts in the era I’ve never noticed the Umbro motif before.
Okay is that what they meant whites v blues? one of the match programme 60/61 season has included that fixture but it’s a bit elusive! I took it to be a friendly v combination select
Lovely whistle. People made the effort back then
Love that, as the caption said - What a night! I couldn't watch our penalties, but as we won it by Parksey saving their penalty, I didn't miss out on the euphoria of that winning moment. I still get chills thinking about that game and that night. By the time I got home, I only had a couple of hours kip, and had to go to work the next morning, but funnily enough I was floating on air for days. Who needs drugs???? Better than sex, chocolate and blueberry muffins!!!
What an album that was Mrs P!
