This article started life as a small paragraph somewhere else but as I checked the detail I became more enraged by the man at its center. In his article (1) last August Suraj identified one Henry Norris as the key figure in the events that led to the hatred with Arsenal. As Monday is the 95th anniversary of the climax of those events I thought you might appreciate some more information on the man at the center of the storm.

We have met Sporting Braga twice in European competition. The first time was 1984/5. Tottenham were defending the trophy they had won the previous season. Sporting were our first opponents in the September. The first leg away was a 3-0 win. All the goals came in a fifteen minute spell Mark Falco put us one up after a half an hour and them two goals in the four minutes, (Falco again and Tony Galvin), before the break left us with a good lead to defend back in London.

When we talk about the 'legends' there's a debate about best games, greatest goals etc. Most professionals are simply hard working and honest and then along comes one game that whenever their name is mentioned it springs to the mind and defines their career. 

Ronnie Rosenthal won three championships and a number of caps and yet for Spurs fans he will be remembered for one special game and one special hat trick.
