Welcome to the latest Planet Spurs where we try and dig out some stories you otherwise would not have come across as a short diversion before the weekend action commences. In this issue we discover the team that come to Tottenham as they deserved a holiday. We also reveal the danger to the game from armchair fans and as this edition is planned to appear just before out first clash with Huddersfield since 1972 I’ve slipped a couple of Terrier stories into the mix along with some great pics.

Picture
Terry faced what many thought an impossible task when he was appointed Tottenham manager to succeed the legendary Bill Nicholson, in September 1974. His only managerial experience had been four years at Division Two Hull City. Where he had finished in mid-table, with a win ratio of 35%. He was not helped by the fact that he was a former captain of Arsenal.

Hotspur Towers - Beware Pirates !

22/9/2017

Picture
I was asked if I could do a 'read bite' on programmes, and the previous articles seemed to go down well. Being always happy to oblige the reader I then delved through the files before I wondered if you'd like something on 'Pirates.' Not a subject that I am too 'hot on'  but this is what I came up with. Anyone having  any other pics or info please feel free to pass it on.
Pirates have been around as long as official programmes and they were plentiful in the sixties, I remember regular warnings appearing in the official version across the years. They continue to thrive it seems as this one from 2011 demonstrates.

While he was with them he won the Scottish League (1962) and they reached the European Cup semi-final the following season and were runners up in the Scottish Cup the next. Bill Nicholson brought him to Spurs to form the G-Men with Greaves, to replace Bobby Smith in December 1964 for £72,500.

Alexander (Sandy) Brown was only with Spurs two seasons but in that period he wrote himself a special place in our club’s history and there is little doubt that the achievements of himself and his team mates helped change the clubs destiny.

Sandy was born in the same Scottish mining village as his Cup winning teammate Sandy Tait, he first played in his local side and earned the nickname the ‘Glenbuck Goalgetter.’

Sonny Walters, one of the members of the side that won Second and First division titles back to back in the early fifties.

Sonny fitted in well to Rowe’s push and run side of the early 1950’s with his blistering pace and a fierce shot he would link up well with Ramsey and Nicholson down the right and created chances for his teammates as well as finishing many himself.

As the club celebrates its 135th birthday we look back at Spurs at the beginning of the twentieth century when before the use of cameras become common place at games newspapers had artists to illustrate the action for their readers.
The FA Cup triumph of 1901 would dominate the first days of the Edwardian's. That magnificent achievement will come under the microscope later, today we cover the 'everyday' action of the team.
