I'm sure most of you have seen the photo. I was about to hold the European Cup-Winners' Cup through the gates at WHL when the team brought the cup home. A never to be forgotten moment.

Close second was winning a draw to buy two face value Cup Final tickets in 1962 and going to Wembley to see us beat Burnley, even more so because my late dad and I went together. We had been to a mid-week game at the Lane on a dreary, rainy night and there was a half-time announcement that anyone braving the elements to support our team deserved the chance to go to Wembley and they called out some turnstile ticket numbers as a ballot. My number came up! If I remember correctly face value was 5/- (five shillings) per ticket and my dad was more than happy to pay up.

You did not say hullo to me.

Crestfallen.

I was behind the goal at the Spurs end to the right of the goal looking at the pitch.

3-1 yay !

Done that. He used to own a tie shop on the Seven Sisters Road, not too far from the BR entrance.

DM quite often used to stand outside his shop talking to folk and when I was a kid he looked so huge - later I found out he wasn't so much tall as he was wide.

Hoddle 1-2 with Ossie then a volley into the back of the net v Man U.

I was an 11 year old from York and all my friends supported Leeds, Liverpool or Man U.
Despite my name, I was now a Spur for life.

Most have been covered that I would of mentioned. But beating the European Champions 3-1 at the Lane in our debut season in the Champions League was truly special IMO. The quality of the opposition and to do it in the manner we did was truly awesome.

Yep this has to be one of mine. Was my birthday as well and I was sat in the shelf block A so had a perfect view for goals 2 and 3. Beating Milan in the San Siro was the bigger achievement but the win over Inter embodied everything great about Spurs.

Gazza's free-kick is my earliest big moment and it remains an iconic moment in FA Cup history so that's probably 2nd.

Crouchie's winner at the Etihad was a close 3rd behind those 2, as we'd waited so long to get our shot at the Champs League.

Beating Chelsea to break the jinx in 2006 was special, as was the league cup win in 2008.

So many great memories over the past 23 years - I just love seeing us win.

Many highlights in my 25+ years of following Spurs, the standouts being:

Lifting the FA Cup in '91
Klinsmann's debut
Ginola's goal against Barnsley
Anderton's goal against Leeds
Allan Neilsen's diving header to win the League Cup
Dimitar Berbatov's goal against Charlton
Paul Robinson scoring
Jonathon Woodgate's head to win another League Cup
Robbie Keane searching for Berbatov after winning said cup, tears streaming from his eyes.
Gomes' saves to get us the Champions League
Gareth Bale decimating Maicon
Gareth Bale all this last season

But #1 for all my life will be Gazza's freekick against Arsenal at Wembley.

This gets me every time. I was in love with those 2 men, still am a wee bit.
