50 years ago today - Alan Mullery leads us to more European history

[mawspurs]

It's 50 years ago today - 17 May, 1972 - that a footballing fairytale came true for Alan Mullery, on a night the Club created history at White Hart Lane.

The captain led from the front in the UEFA Cup Final, second leg against Wolves. Leading 2-1 from the first leg at Molineux a fortnight earlier - Martin Chivers' memorable double putting us in the driving seat - 'Mullers' scored a diving header after 29 minutes to put us 3-1 up on aggregate. David Wagstaffe levelled for Wolves on the night just before half-time, but with Pat Jennings in imperious form, we'd done enough.

I was there that evening and loved it
Still have the program somewhere

That’s was an ‘I was there moment’
Alan Mullery was my favourite player at that time, and I was gutted when he left for Fulham after that.

I was in the old west stand, the old man gave up his ticket for me! great night and a pitch invasion at the end if i remember rightly!
