Talking Tottenham - 6th Ad Break

Taking a break from from all that very serious stuff its time for the commercials but before you rush outside to make the tea lets have a look at what the club and its players have got up to over the years in another set of adverts and related commercial activities.

And there are a couple of ads that got banned !

---

No such trouble however for Harry Kane at the top of the page and his Fire Starter ads.

Gareth Bale however and The advertising watchdog in the UK  banned a multimillion-pound star-studded campaign from Lucozade for claiming that it hydrates better than water. Complainants, including the Natural Hydration Council, argued that the claim "hydrates and fuels you better than water" was a breach of the UK advertising code.

Above left and the players room at WHL with its new roof.  Right - Paulhinho found himself in trouble when it was discovered his co-star usually worked in adult entertainment!!

Left - A young Jimmy Greaves here seen opening a shop. This arrived in the inbox after I mentioned Jimmy was clearly a busy lad as he was also involved in a removals business based in Upminister at one time.

---

There are photos of him wearing flat cap and overalls driving the lorry, but they currently remain elusive, but still looking.

Jimmy also had an interest in  a travel agents in Holborn which retained his name  long after he no longer had a stake in the business. It was still there a few years back. I’ve been told he also had a sports shop in Chingford possibly during the seventies, but haven’t tracked a reference to it as yet. 

---

Above - Martin Peters sometime in the late sixties I believe and he ran Soccer Schools at various holiday camps during the summer.

Feel a little guilty above Gareth so above left a moody feel as he promotes Adidss in 2016 and to the right a happier mood as he seems to be about to get a free car. 

Left - The 1980's when you didn't waste material on shorts.


Below and this ad was used to launch the brand new Premiership competition. later to become the PL.

---

Below - the changing face of Umbro. Its the sixties and as you can see these strips were also the 'choice of champions including the unforgettable Spurs of 1960/61.'

A more traditional footy ad and finally Ray Clemence liked his kit so much he wore it on Sundays as well.

---

We cant have an ad break with out the club shop and this time we find this kit for the kids from 1981.

Below right - Steve Perryman opens another sports sport carrying his name - nice to see the champagne -I expect he could afford it as he had a regular column in the Evening Standard.
And we cant have a break with someones boots appearing and this time its the turn of Harry Winks and his Union Jacks.

---

If you have any Spurs related ads or other commercial ventures get in touch. OK you can put the kettle on now.
