Picture

As we continue our celebration of White Hart Lane and its role in the history of the club we turn our attention to the man who designed  the ground.

His work can be found the length of the country as he quite simply designed the format for stadiums that we have known all our footballing lives.

23/2/2017

Picture
Talking Tottenham once again peers into the world of advertising and related areas as we investigate what footballers will actually do to top up their wages.
We start with Gary Lineker and another one from his long running series for Walkers crisps. I thought this one would appeal to my Indian readers.
And a side order of trivia where necessary.

This first case I’m delighted to say is one that we have finally closed the file upon but the journey to reach that point was a long and winding one.

So lets look back at The Oxford Affair.

With a return to European action after the winter break we turn our attention to some European Memories, mostly from the managers and players, but a few others reflecting on some our exploits in previous years.

Talking Tottenham - The Last Tattoo

Picture
Two years ago I featured some Tottenham tattoo's as a mild interest in between the more 'serious stuff.' Like a number of the subjects that Talking has tackled it led to more images arriving in the old in-box, and always good to know your out there. Anyway in the summer I complied a second set and thought that would be it! I had not planned another set thinking we must of covered every angle but if any 'different' designs turned up I'd slip them in somewhere. 
Then they just kept coming. So here for your mid-week coffee break diversion one last set where put you have put your skin where the heart is.

Hotspur Towers - Tommy Harmer

2/2/2017

3 Comments

 
Picture
One of the most talented footballers to play for Tottenham but it could be said he never quite fitted into the style of play that his different managers demanded. The Telegraph called him ‘a very special footballer, a triumph over matter and skill over strength.’

Tommy the man they called Harmer the Charmer played 222 games for Spurs scoring 51 times but he will be remembered as a creator and entertainer with a magical sleight of foot.
