A Final Day in Hackney

30/1/2018

4 Comments

 
Picture
Have you ever wondered what it is like to be at home and unable to follow the team to the Cup Final? Despite reports that North London was empty on the day when we first completed in the FA Cup Final  clearly many fans were still at home and their agonizing wait for news in the days before television or social media was recorded  by the Hackney and Kingsland Gazette.  
The following report appeared below their match report, with grateful thanks.

Ron was the inspirational skipper of the side that won back to back Second and First Division  Championships, the first Welshman to play for the Football League side and he also featured for Great Britain V Europe in 1947. That's in addition to 32 full International caps, the majority as captain. In total he played over five hundred games for the club.

Picture
Stanley was born in Hackney but his family moved to Kent and he started playing football at school locally before returning to London and later joining Spurs in 1892 at just 20 years of age. At which time he was already considered one of the finest amateur players in the country. 

He would lead the FA XI on their first overseas trip and help make Spurs one of the finest amateur teams in the south on England.

What The papers Said - 3

19/1/2018

Picture
Several people were kind enough to comment on the recent 'papers' and earlier articles and asked if there was any more. Thus I have looked through the files and selected some stories that may shed some light into the inner workings of Spurs and football over the years rather than match days that may just assume, shock and entertain you.
Rumblings in the Board Room, players wages, Televised games (well half of it) and the refs cop an earful!

King Arthur's Promotion

Picture
 ‘I’m certain we can do it if we all pull together at least we can give it a trial.’ Those were the words with which Arthur Rowe launched his first season in charge at Spurs.  That 1949/50 season would see Spurs return to the top flight after too long in the second tier. Rowe who had succeeded Joe Hulme had been born within earshot of the ground and had previously been a player with Tottenham.

 Tottenham have engaged German sides in friendly contests over the years, in this article we look back at some of the earlier ones including the first of these which was back in the early days of White Hart Lane, on 8th January 1901 when we entertained a side touring England under the name The German Association (although all the players were from the Berlin club) as they became the first side from mainland Europe to face Tottenham. Playing in four inches of snow the two sides served up a fifteen goal entertainment.
