Best ever Spurs related birthday present

[am_yisrael_chai]

I hit a milestone birthday a few weeks ago and one of my very good friends managed to get my favourite player, Sonny, to write a personalised message and sign a replica number 7 shirt. Thankfully my wife isn’t on SC so I can say it was definitely my best birthday present.

Got me thinking what other Spurs related birthday presents people had received. So go ahead and share your best Spurs birthday present.

I got some white and blue sweatbands in 1982 ... My mum swears they were spurs but almost certainly bristol rovers!

I got a framed signed Berbatov shirt year we won league cup.

Got the corporate experience at WHL when we played West Brom and met Jenas (still have the photo).

Brighton game this year is on my birthday, so a win then would be good..

every christmas at least one thing from the Spurs shop. I actually asked my wife to stop because some of it was kind of silly.

You flew all the way to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays play baseball?

They don't play in July so they've never had the chance to ruin it.

Got this shirt in '91.

Tickets to my first ever Spurs game saw me going to the Spurs v Ipswich game in April 1964. I used to play in goal and was really disappointed that the No 1 goalie, Bill Brown, wasn't playing, John Hollowbread instead. We won 6 - 3. Jimmy Greaves played, but didn't score, Cliff Jones got a hat trick, and I saw him make a fantastic side step, at speed, that totally flat-footed their defenders, and resulted in one of his goals. It was 55 years ago this month, but I still remember it clearly!

This beauty from my Irish nan- a compulsive gambler who once won ten grand at the Bingo, and blew it within a couple of weeks- when I was very young. Wore the kit at every opportunity and it solidified my obsession with Tottenham and my affection towards my nan who I only knew for a few years

My ex got me tickets for birmingham away after we'd won the league cup.

Lost 4 1 to a forssell hat trick.

Only consolation was the eduardo/martin taylor songs!

My best birthday present ever was Spurs related- when I was 50 my brother gave me every Spurs Handbook for each of the 50 years. Some he bought in batches, tracked odd ones down etc.
Now sit in pride of place on my bookshelves.
