It gets funnier every time you watch it.

Definitely a dive...

He literally nuts his own player. Need some Mick McCarthy analysis on that one.

The Park Lane had a bit behind the goal fenced off like that because of a throwing incident, think it was a knife, not 100% sure, done in the close season the wall behind the goal was taken down and a bit of the terracing removed permanently after that, until hooliganism calmed down and fencing/seats took over.

Love the last goal!

Sort of Spurs history...

17 year old Ray Clemence, having just joined Scunny from Grimsby Town:

My Dad's been telling me about going to the matches when he was 15/16, and watching him. He says that S****horpe had a good team of youngsters back then, that naturally got picked apart... mostly by Liverpool who signed Clem 2 years later, then Keegan 2 years after that. Burkinshaw retired as player-caretaker manager in '68 after 100 appearances.

S****horpe unfortunately then spent the next 30 years in the league's basement, until promotion in 1999.

bandit realised that about Burkenshaw

I do! There was literally a collective intake of breath! Two players nicknamed Psycho!
I met Pat van den Hauwe at one of the dinner and dances they used to have. He was very shy off the pitch and that was the only one he went to. When I shook his hand, he held it a little longer than necessary! lol. (I didn't mind at all!)

I wished he was even shyer

I still have nightmares about him. I used to work in a pub not far from the training ground (the white hart, flammstead end) and him and Paul Walsh came in for a beer. it was early evening and usually dead so was a great time to fill the shelves. all of a sudden I heard a bottle of beer get knocked over, so I shouted out "be careful", he replied with something like, "think you're the 1 that needs to be careful" in a growling voice.

Don't understand that @Lighty64

you said he was shy off the pitch, he wasn't that shy that early evening

 

[spursgirls]

It was the you wishing he was shyer that puzzled me!

if he was shyer I'd of had a sorry instead a growl

If my memory is right I think people were saying at the time it was a dart thrown at the goalkeeper in a game against Leeds...Darts were quite popular then, remember someone got one in the head up at Anfield once.

I'm not 100% sure as well...Wonder if anyone does know the real reason.

Fun fact. At that time I used to go with a mate and we got to sit on the benches in front of the wall (Paxton end). You can see us in the clips showing that corner of the ground. I'm also visible there in the club's centenary video.

My only claim to WHL fame was one night on MOTD back in the early 1970's I was in the Park Lane End and the camera panned and I saw my ugly mush with the big hair on top.

No VCR or Sky boxes back then to preserve the wonderful occasion.

I was behind the goal v M'boro I think, we had lost 3-0 but big Pat made one of his famous 1 handed saves/catches when in full flight diving through the air. MotD froze framed it at the end of their program and right behind that in the freezing cold and wet weather was a very young me in my parker coat and hod on

 

[mumfordspur]

different times but there was some sort of pitch invasion against Manure (cant remember the year around '72?).
One of our mob known as "Slippery" was at the front and MOTD played it as their intro for some time.
