Even though I’m a United fan I always enjoyed watching Spurs because they played the game the right way. Stylish entertaining football. We always got a tough game against Spurs in the 80’s , especially at White Hart Lane.
Magnificent. My fave Spurs seasons: 1977/8 on those muddy pitches, Hoddle and McNab v Cloggers, Kickers & Co. 1981/2 Spurs' football was 15 years ahead of its time. ⚽⚽⚽
The team of the early 80s played great football and won things - it can be done. The 81 -82 team played 66 matches and would have won the league if it hadnt been for a massive fixtures backlog caused by the terrible winter. Same thing happened in 84 -85 becos of the terrible winter. Was a travesty david pleat's team of 86 - 87 ended up empty handed
Nowadays its hard to believe how massive the FA cup final was. The country almost stopped as everyone settled in to watch it on tv, with all day build up. Sadly the Champions League has devalued it. I was actually at both games in 81 and still at school. The Thursday remains one of the best days of my life, and I still go to games with the same mates COYS.
Thanks for this. Always thought the 81/2 season was the best for Tottenham in the 50 years ive supported the club. Should have won more than the FA cup that season. The league cup Archibald should have won it for Spurs with 5 minutes left. Barcelona kicked them out of the cup winners cup semi final and fixture congestion derailed them in the league
@distantvoices The Everton team of the mid 80s clicked into place after Brocks back pass which gave them the equaliser in the league cup in early 84. Remember the first game of the 84/5 season Tottenham thrashed Everton 4/1 at Goodison but Allen was injured later that season which cost Tottenham massively. No complaints as Everton were the most consistant side in England for the three years. The 86/7 season the team was rebuilt as during the season Galvin, Roberts, Miller and Falco all left after Tottenham had a slightly slow start and did well to finish third but the decision to Part company with Pleat in October 87 and replace him with the most over rated manager of the last 50 years cost Tottenham dearly
@@dlamiss yes the massive fixture congestion caused by the severe winter did for our title hopes in 84 - 85, just as it had in 81-82. I also recall everton did a real smash and grab on us in the crucial fixture at the lane towards the end of the season. But no question we were the better football side. Yes never understood the decision to sack pleat - he'd built a brilliant side the season before that nearly won everything - he ended up getting the boot becos of an allegation by a woolwich supporting copper. Scholar has a lot to answer for.
@@LeighRichards27 Dont think there was an excuse in 84/5 to be honest. Maybe Everton were on a roll and nothing was going to stop them but with 13 games to play Spurs were level on points with them and had 9 games left to play at WHL. Had just beaten Liverpool at Anfield for the first time in over 70 years and then lost at home to Villa, Everton, Arsenal, Ipswich and Watford. Probably Allen missing most of the season was the difference.
@@dlamiss youre right we had plenty of games to play at home during the run in - and we contrived to lose half of them. In contrast dont think we lost another game away that season after december.
@@LeighRichards27 Will always remember Tottenham had beaten Liverpool at Anfield then Soton at WHL and had the momentum and were Level on points with Everton then the saturday before the Everton game were beaten 2/0 at home by Villa (THAT was the killer) then of course lost to them on the Wednesday night so what could have been three points clear Tottenham were suddenly 6 points behind and that was that...
Thanks for posting,this was wonderful, remembering a fantastic spurs team in the 80's,a proper spurs side filled with talent and tough players,Steve Perryman Captain fantastic,great player,loyal,he is Tottenham Hotspur as far as I'm concerned along with Gary Mabbutt both brilliant players..🙂👍👍👍👍
I was there when they went down and I was at Southampton when they came back up. Such memories. I used love to watch Perryman, such a hard but brilliant player.
2am Singapore time in 1981 watching the replay FA cup final on the telly.. Spurs vs Man City - and Ricky Villa beats one , than 2 , then 3 and then ... It's in the back of the net.

This is when I fell in love with the famous Tottenham Hotspur football club! These three should be in the current set up... they are footballing men!

I went to that Coventry final, the possibilty of losing didn't even enter my mind, the league cup semi was worse though!
Legends all of them

Great program
This period in time was very painful for me as an Arsenal fan.
shared with the unofficial manila/Philippines Tottenham hotspur supporters club FB group.

Captain fantastic,great player,loyal,he is Tottenham Hotspur as far as I'm concerned along with Gary Mabbutt both brilliant players..🙂👍👍👍👍
Great watch,missed this when Sky showed it originally
Disgusting when people forget how amazing Spurs were in the 80s.
They get overshadowed because of how dominant Liverpool were and by not winning the League.
Great memomories, unforgotabel, beautiful interview
Brilliant. Thanks for the upload
Thanks a million for this, love your channel. Brilliant
I was there when they went down and I was at Southampton when they came back up. Such memories. I used love to watch Perryman, such a hard but brilliant player.
The one problem with this show is that it is not long enough. I want a couple more hours of this material.
what a dream team x
Superb.
will he ever ask Ozzie any questions??? Tedious love, when the great Ardiles is there
shocking 15 mins in and only ONE question to Ardiles...
Nice one !!!!
