We need a player like this

Spurs v Leeds Utd 1966 at WHL

Dave Mackay gets to grips with Billy Bremner

I wish we had a player like Mackay now, he who would not allow the mamby pamby fairies of today lose games like Wigan.

YAY!

Ctw finally managed to attach the picture!

[thfcire]

do you want me to merge the threads ctw?????????? hee heee

[ctw01]

Ye go on take the mick , haha your right of course !

[CmonyouSpurs]

Would be Palacios if he could get his head sorted out sooner...

[aquascape]

Just saw "The Damned United" movie...nice!

[spursman18]

Times have changed, the last player I've seen with his sort of grit was Roy Keane

[mattspurz]

We need a player like joey barton, yes i fookin said it joey barton. Hes a twat, hes a gimp, hes a pr*ck, but he can play pretty football, or ugly football when it matters. Never backs out from challenges, and scores some nice goals, and creates some good passes.

[thfcire]

have to laugh ,barton got the bollox kicked out of him against wolves,and then complained to mick mc carty at the end ha ha

[mattspurz]

yeah he did, but i meant like, we need players of his attitude, not assaulting wise, but hes got balls to go in every tackle as hard as he can, never backs out.

Dave Mackay was 'ard as nails .

They just don't make 'em like that anymore .

EDIT: George Best said he was the hardest man he ever played against , and certainly the bravest .

[Scarlotti]

EVERY team could do with a player like Dave Mackay!

But how many of those come along in a generation?

[contrast]

Think the closest player to anyone like that in my time has to be Vinnie Jones . . . . and isn't he suppose to be a Yiddo? He does cameo appearances in everything else, why not a Spurs shirt once in a while!

[Dancubus]

If that happened nowdays, Bremner would have dropped to the ground holding his face.

Man, how the game has changed.
