Sarcastic cheers, I hasten to add!
What was Willie Young like when he played for us? I know I was there and saw him play,but I was at the age where anyone in a spurs shirt couldn't do anything wrong in my 8year old eyes.
I remember singing the song
6 foot two
Eyes of Blue
Willie Young is after you
Nah nah nah etc
That could TOTALLY be re-worked for Van Der Ven!!
Right eye colour, not sure about height...
Willie could always be relied on to exact a bit of revenge when required.
Swap height for pace and we’re there!
I didn't think he was that bad a player really.
Granted, he would lose the ball a few times with those dribbles of his, but he was a pretty commanding centre half who got a few goals as well,
His nickname was 'The plane spotter.'
Let's not forget the charming West Ham song about him..,Willie Young in a Spurs shirt.
Six foot two, eyes are blue
Willie Young's a fucking Jew.

Classy as ever!
Pikey scum!
Remember the Steve Archibald one to the tune of.
‘We’ll take care of you’?
‘You’re just a Scottish Jew!
Archibald!’
Aw shucks
I think I might go along to this, as I don't have a photo with Alfie Conn. I wasn't a regular back then, but I was at the Leeds game when we had to get a draw to stay up and Alfie famously sat on the ball.
Would be good to meet him.

His goal against the Chavs which sent them down was a peach especially from my view in the Shelf!
him on Big Match and Barry Davies on BBC were the best imo
BD was a Spurs fan, met him once, nice bloke. Brian Moore was Gillingham, and one of their fanzines was named after him, poking fun at his big bald head
defo GillsI always thought that Brian M was a Palace fan
Gillingham??
That Fanzine "Brian Moore's head is as big as the London Planetarium"
but loads of celebs, esp comics support Palace. Prob need a sense of humour to survive that lot in the past
I was there, don't remember much of the game TBH, but remember singing Bye Bye Chelsea to the Bay City Rollers song, 'Bye Bye Baby.
