Apparently “White was killed by a lightning strike at the age of 27 while sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm at Crews Hill golf course, Enfield on 21 July 1964.”
First memory of attending would have been the Simon Cup quarter final away at Watford on 14th Feb 1989 watching David Seaman save at least one penalty to see us through to a semi final v Everton which we lost..
My first football memories as an 8 year old watching the 1982 FA cup final and replay on the tv then the World Cup later that year. Paulo Rossi, Tardelli and Altobelli scoring in the final. Dino Zoff lifting the trophy. Not forgetting Schumacher nearly killing Battisto in the semis!
I’m more put out by the price at £59.99 for something that probably cost no more than £5 to make. Don’t know why they don’t price them at no more than £39.99. Surely they’d sell more….
They’ll likely get pumped week in week out but then come back down with all that extra revenue and parachute payments so not all bad. As long as they don’t spend badly…
I remember getting Roy’s signature on my programme at the end of that season. Everton game I think. Waited outside of the old players exit by the club shop with a mate. He came out with his arms full including the goal of the season trophy he won. Happy to sign but in doing so, he dropped his goal of the season trophy on the floor with a loud clang….
Felt a bit bad about it as I was sure it was dented!
They originally released this in two parts (which I’ve got) and I can’t recommend it enough. Some great trips down memory lane and together it’s an enormous set. The only year I ever completed though was 86 and I remember having a double someone at school needed to complete his set. I ended up with a 5 inch thick pile of his swaps in exchange for the one he needed.. ah happy days!
They cut over to Sherwood and he started going on about how it was a poor game and he couldn’t see Coventry scoring and just as those words came out of his mouth they scored. He then brain farted his way out of it.
With him on one end of the pundit panel and Merson the other, it was often difficult to see who was using the North London brain cell.
Actually that’s probably a bit harsh on Merson. He doesn’t try to be anything he’s not whilst Sherwood is an imbecile trying to pretend he’s intelligent. Blokes an absolute clown, always miserable and negative.
I remember seeing an interview with Arsenal and England Physio Gary Lewis where he talked about medicals.
He said there isn’t really such a thing as a pass or fail of a medical. It’s just an examination to determine risk. Eg a player has little or no injuries so is low risk whilst another player has a history of problems with injuries in a certain part of his body so is considered a high risk.
The medical is as brief or thorough as the buying club decides. Bigger clubs are more thorough and take less risk (in theory) than smaller clubs.
All we can determine from this (if true) is that something has come up on the medical that has led us to change our minds. Doesn’t mean the player can’t/won’t sign for another club who are prepared to take whatever risk we weren’t.
In ten years time, no one is going to care or remember who finished 2nd or 17th in the 24/25 season but I guarantee people and especially Spurs fans will remember winning the Europa League…
