The Horror that is the red Spurs badge!!

Remember all the fuss a few years back when our new sponsor was looking to use its trademark red in the lettering on the front of our shirts? It may not have been as heinous a crime as the one that turned Cardiff from blue to red in their entirety but many fans were considerably dischuffed.

Imagine the horror then if I turned up to the Lane wearing this – a genuine official Spurs badge that is predominantly red. I’ve no idea of the date of this – it was passed down to me but I’m sure I remember seeing similar ones when I first started watching matches in the 1970’s.

Sadly, it’s a little worn these days but can anyone date it for me and does anyone else where their blue and red with pride?

Spurs v Everton – From the Archives

Tottenham travel to Goodison Park on Sunday in a fixture that has seen a great deal of goals and entertainment over the years. In fact, it’s a little surprising that Sky haven’t picked up on this one – choosing the Manchester Derby (probably justifiably) together with West Ham and Liverpool (great!!)

Many of us may still have one of these...

But are your photos as embarrassing as mine?

Tottenham Hotspur FC 1972/73

Another one from my archives - this must be 1972/73 looking at the UEFA Cup and the FA Youth Cup(?)

This is a bit of a candid shot with a few players looking away from the camera. Barry Daines appears to be looking at Pat Jennings' shirt and wondering how long it will take before he gets one with a badge.

There's plenty of reserves in here but how many can you name? Is that a former Liverpool manager in the second row?
