Gallery - The Cup

The Gallery where we serve up another collection of great photos from across the years with a Spurs theme. This time its the FA Cup that comes into our viewfinder.
As usual I've tried to find some that you may not have seen, or at least recently, so we do tend to look back rather than more recent pictures that have been scattered across social media and the internet.

Starting with 1981 and the two goalscorers Garth Crooks and Ricki Villa show the trophy to the fans from the Town Hall balcony.

 1981 - Ricki Villa is taken off in the Final in the first game.  Rather than sit on  the bench he is so upset he takes the long walk to the dressing room. Burkenshaw (sitting in dark jacket) picks Ricki for the replay and he scores twice including the goal of the century scored at Wembley.

Back to 1962 and its preseason - Danny Blanchflower in a great image with a net full of balls and the Trophy.

Despite changes to the game in recent years there is still the magic of the Cup.
