Thanks for the memories, Tony. I also stood on the Shelf at White Hart Lane on that night of 3rd April 1985. It was definitely a case of trying to keep mouths shut when our goals went in. Neville’s late save from Falco was one of the best and most important I have seen. The result killed Spurs’ hopes. As we walked away from the ground we knew the title would be ours.

A great read Tony.

I'm slightly younger but share many of the same memories, especially the great 69/70 season when my dad and I had season tickets and a few I would prefer to forget like that awful Leeds game and the '68 Final. Didn't Alan Whittle go for a shot which he should have left for Alan Ball, or is my memory playing up?

Stephen, you may be thinking of Jimmy Husband’s header which went over the bar with Alan Ball waiting behind him to nod it in. It happened a few minutes before the end of normal time.

John, thanks. You are absolutely right. Makes me wonder how many other 'memories' aren't quite right. Still, that was a golen era team for sure!

Spurs away 1985
I remember getting off the special at Northumberland Street and a copper on horseback shouting "Fuckin hell where did you lot all come from?"
So packed in the away end they had to open the gates at the front to stop the crush.
Phenomenal save by Southall from Falco.
Those were the days my friends.
Those were the days.

Lovely piece, Tony. That night at Spurs I was behind the other goal with a Spurs mate and his Dad. Drink had been taken, I didn't keep quiet. We were right behind Nev's wonder save.
