Tottenham put aside the League campaign that first weekend of the New Year and welcomed Charlton Athletic to The Lane for the FA Cup Third Round tie. Charlton were in the Second Division but took Spurs all the way.
Tottenham took the lead after six minutes Blanchflower being at the root of everything move as he split the Athletic defence for Les Allen to open the scoring. We moved further ahead just before the half hour Blanchflower again for Allen. Just as the Spurs fans relaxed Charlton struck back to make it 2-1.

Hotspur Towers - McWilliam's Return

8/12/2016

Picture
Peter McWilliam returned as manager of Tottenham in May 1938 after Jack Tresadern’s departure the month before.  McWilliam’s first spell which had brought success to the club (1) had ended over eleven years before. The team he now inherited simply wasn’t good enough to win promotion. With the Board still paying off the cost of the East Stand he set about slowly bringing in the youngsters from the Northfleet nursery which he had been instrumental in developing ten years before.

The reigning Champions Burnley opened the programme of six games in December all to be played on wet heavy pitches. Once again the critics wondered if Spurs would buckle. The weather had turned and the White Hart Lane pitch that day was described as like Passchendale. Yet those present were served up a game in pouring rain and a swirling driving wind that will live in the memories for a long time and was described  as the ‘game of the century’ (2).
