Posted on Thursday, 8th December 2011 by Harry Hotspur
Good afternoon.
With Christmas fast approaching, now’s the perfect time to treat the Spurs fan in your life to an extra special gift. And who better to sign it than the legendary Cliff Jones?
The Welsh wizard – a lynchpin of the all-conquering Spurs side of the 60s – will be signing copies of the award–winning ’61: The Spurs Double’ at a special Tottenham Hotspur book signing this Saturday. For those on a tighter budget, he’ll also be signing ‘The Pocket Book of Spurs’ too.
Come and meet a true Spurs great from 11am this Saturday (the 10th) at Waterstones in Enfield.
If you can’t make it to the store on the day then you can contact them on 0843 290 8317 to place a reservation.
For more info on both books please visit the Vision Sports Publishing homepage at www.visionsp.co.uk

1st – place in the queue?
I believe Mr Cliff was much a better dribbler than that like-named Richards geezer – who could only drive a bus. To a country. WHich he has obviously bankrupt.
Books – will you turn the pages – and are their any pictures?

Cliff comes in at #7 in my all time Spurs top 20. He had an awesome burst of speed not unlike a certain Welsh winger of todays team.
My first live European night was when Dad took me to WHL for Tottenham v Gornik Zabre, 4-2 down from the away leg, we won 8-1 that night and Cliff scored a hat-Trick in the first half, the atmosphere should have been bottled and let out slowly over the last 50 years, i was 9 years old.

My first ever game at the Lane, my Dad detested football, but living so close to the ground, I wanted to see for myself why loads of people painted themselves blue and white and carried live chickens to this place that illuminated the darkness over yonder. I was passed down through a cloud of smoke and placed by the ABC boards, but alas my only memory of that night was being so shocked how green the grass was! but I was seven and hooked from then on, although my old man hated every minute of the experience and never failed to remind me in later years.

I was walked off my feet by Dad and uncle Willie, the A55 (Austin Cambridge) must have been parked a mile and a half away, but i was up for it, on their shoulders most of the time. The lights, the atmosphere,the game and the Glory. Maybe we just get too much football today to enjoy it to that extent.

My only other recollection is the smell of horseshit and chestnuts. Still have that same knotting in the stomach every game, especially when we play the Goons, but it’s probably why I get so arsey when some forget it’s a game played by two teams and can hinge on an injury or bad ref, a coat of paint or a great goalkeeping display.

Can remember my first game well, was Gary Linekers last home game for us. We went three up and a certain Mr Beardsley popped up with a 2nd half hat trick, finished three a piece. Bought some farewell Gary Lineker peanuts and always wished I’d kept the packet!

So J***s is coming home for Christmas, leastways I’d assume that’s the case unless the loan terms also commit Villa to his upkeep if injured, in which case I have some sympathy for them.
If anyone has ever seen a dog with only 3 legs you’ll get this. The 3 legged dog hobbles around doing its best to keep up, running for all its life, tongue hanging out, eyes bright and tail wagging: it’s all heart but no legs.
J***s is the very opposite, he’s always had the legs but never the heart; for England he was only worth 2 lions, for us he was only ever a capon never a cockerel….if he’d played for the Gunners he’d have been a blank!
Now he has no heart AND no legs….anyone got a humane gun?

Chris Foy has the whistle on Sunday and he`s not shy at showing his cards, 5 reds so far this season. Now if Baler & Azza get up a head of steam early, Parker & the Croat control the centre and Ade & JD put their boots on the correct feet it should be a breeze, likely against 10 men.

They say if it aint broke then dont try to fix it, so what pairing at the back should we go with? Thought Gallas played well for us last season and now hes nearly fit. The Bull has that extra pace, is using his head, who starts with Leds??

December 9th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Who would want Anelka at £175k per week, Big Sam, well that`s another way to bankrupt the Spammers. Kaboul/King if fit, Kaboul/Gallas otherwise, VDV used after 65mins.

Unfortunately i wasn’t born when he played but my father says he was one of the all time greats. I also remember Alan Brazil saying he was the quickest player he ever played against, but when i done a bit of research, i don’t think he did play against him.Maybe he meant saw. In any case i’m bloody envious at all you who saw him. I feel like ive turned up at the party just as all the balloons are being popped.
