MEMORIES OF WHITE HART LANE....

[shelf-side]

Hi guys,
Im new to this, and just wanted to add a few yarns of Spurs memories from years gone by.......

I remember the great FA Cup run in 1981 ( the greatest in my opinion). I was lucky enough to win a standing ticket for the 81 Cup Final in the ballot (I can still remember the lucky letter 'O' that won me that ticket). Going 1-0 down, and the joy of the equaliser as Glenn Hoddle smashed in a freekick (via Hutchinson's shoulder).


The Replay was THE game though. The "Ricky Villa Show". What a game that was. Going 1-0 up through Villa, we managed to be 2-1 down (after a magical volley from McKenzie and a dodgy penalty!!!) only for Garth Crooks to steal an equaliser, then "Ricky Villa's magic for 3-2.

I was 14 at the time, and watched it with my dad. It was a game we still spoke about 20+ years later.......

Check out the other entries that I have posted titled "MEMORIES OF WHITE HART LANE". It's a trip down memory lane for Spurs fans of matches and memories of years gone by.

Really good memories. I was lucky enough to go to most of the FA Cup ties in 81.

As I remember we didnt leave London until the Semi Final, and even the Semi Final replay was at Highbury (With another Ricky Villa special as we won 3-0).

I was one of the THOUSANDS of SPURS in the famous North Bank that night,

and the memory of Spurs going mental as Crooks scored at the North Bank End is a memory that i cherish....
