Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As the discussion has moved onto Millwall, it's given me the opportunity to revisit a couple of posts I made before our FA cup game last year.

Would love to read those.
After the hangover subsided from Holland we met up at White Hart Lane early morning to set off for Glasgow for our game that night with Rangers. We were made royally welcome by the Rangers fans and had a great time in the Blue Star and the Rangers SSC. Game was a distraction to be honest but we made ourselves heard in the fabulous Archibald Leitch designed stand (same architect as did our shelf of course). An overnight stay in Carnoustie then it was off to Tannadice for Dundee United the next night. We went in their end and after a few fisticuffs it all settled down. Met a fair few Scots Spurs that night and still see them to this day some 38 years later. Long trip home then on the Friday we went down to Swansea on the train for a night game, this was probably the lowest turnout from Spurs fans but we had fun in the town then off to the game again going in their end (side). That was the 6 completed and around 20 of us did them all, we only won one game as i remember but we didn't care. Some of us also went to Jersey in the following February for the 7th friendly which had to be the worst ferry crossing in history, stormbound at Weymouth and falling like 9 pins with sickness. We made a huge THFC with empty stubby beer bottles on the table as i recall. Great times.
 
Just want to say that this is one of the best threads ever started on TFC. As a younger fan fed up with pop corn munching half and half wankers I'm loving the stories. My dad and his mates allways go on about Sheffield away in the 2nd Division as being a mad 1. Where any of you guys at that game?
 
Never any Spam there. Was all Tottenham at the Greg.


Really??

Fair enough but of a few of my Spammer mates told me the ICF were there although they were too frightened to go themselves so I went on my own

Typical Spammers then

All mouth and trousers!!

Will make a few phone calls later and have a go!

:nawty:
 
I never went to the Old Den but went to the New one in 2001 or thereabouts for a pre season testimonial for one of theirs and Teddy was supposed to play but didn’t

Absolute bedlam from the moment I alighted outside Sth Bermondsey station

Apparently a crew of ICF joined our boys to take on Millwall

Running battles throughout and I took shelter under a bus stop from the hail of bricks until a local plod moved me on!
Never again
I went to that with a friend from Scotland. I thought it would be pretty tame as it was some bloke’s testimonial and Teddy was a guest of honour. I got the train straight there so no issues. But it kicked off throughout the match with fans trying to get at each other. Afterwards was ridiculous though. I was late-ish out of the stadium and walked out to kids crying and people running back into the stand. A wall of Millwall we’re outside chucking anything and everything at anyone and everyone. Took a long time to get under control and then we were escorted straight back to the station. Have been back a few times with Brighton mates and they’ve caged the whole walk from station to stand for away fans. It’s like being at a zoo for psychotic animals at Millwall.
 
I was at that game too, went with me brother, as he had to drive me there as was on crutches that day. Had surgery on me knee. After the game we were sitting in the car in traffic and a few teenagers were running in the opposite direction and I called over to them what's going on, they replied there's a load of Tottenham on the rampage coming up the road.
I just said "oh is there" , and smiled.
Got a couple more stories, but will do tomorrow. One of them about Derby away when there was a train strike.
;) Anyone else go to that game?

I’m in no way part of the firm scene, but there was nothing to do with the ICF that day mate. Knew Wall and West Ham chaps back in the day.
 
Must admit I would be stunned if West Ham and our lot ever met up for such a thing.

Before my time but I’ve heard stories of a London United going over the Orient to fight the big northern teams, us West Ham etc 30 odd year ago mind.

But it was common for most of the London firms to help Orient.

Never individually helped each other though, obviously.
