I get a little peeved sometimes when I see reference to the phrase "pass and move" on Spurs forums. (Only a little - it's understandable in some ways).
Here's an extract from an article that traces "the Spurs Way" back to the 1920s, with its defining characteristic of "Think space and shape, angle and incision, flexibility and interchangeability, keeping the ball on the ground and making it do the work." This is the Spurs Way, the correct name for which is "push and run", not "pass and move".
The 3rd goal against QPR epitomises "push and run" and "The Spurs Way" does it not?
The article highlights the contributions that Spurs coaches Arthur Rowe and Vic Buckingham had on the development of the great Hungarian teams of the 1950s and on the development of "total football" at Ajax. Rowe's thinking provided the foundations of Bill Nicholson's great teams of the 50s and 60s. All traced back nearly 100 years.
Another great reason to be pround of this great club. Why do we show such ignorance of our traditions and history by allowing "push and run" to fade from memory?
