And you wouldn't have recognised Sam if I hadn't mentioned he was an ex-copper!

Are you on here yet, Sam?

If not, someone will have to go and fetch him. I think he has the biggest TUFC programme collection in the World.

And his story of what he got up to after the 1972 Man U friendly is good for a laugh! I wonder if Merse knows Bendy Wendy?

I surely do....................sorry Sam!

There was also a pirate copy of the Spurs away programme

Just picked up this thread and remember my late father going to both Totenham fixtures, he was also a big Spurs fan as they were one of "THE" top teams of that era.
It must have been a real squeeze with 21,000 odd in our little ground. I also seem to remember the replay was postponed and the replay played on a week day afternoon, though I may be wrong on that one. As I would have only been 9 at the time I missed all the live excitement but witnessed my dads after match exuberance which brought me a step closer to my lifelong commitment. I soon became hooked and rarely missed a match with the following few seasons being quite exceptional.
The 72 pre season friendly with Man utd was a disaster for me. In the ground early, looking so cool in my brand new "Budgie Jacket" I quickly made my way towards the back of the Mini Stand. The ground was packed with many a native Mancunian in all parts including the mini - there was no such thing as segregation back then and odd pockets off trouble began to kick off particularly around where I was standing. Helmeted police were mixed in amongst us with one immediately behind me and with all of the pre match excitement and all that testosterone something was bound to happen. A huge hairy drunken Man U supporter, with a few mates had infiltrated our sacred area at the forefront and with that a section of supporters behind me surged forward knocking over a few in front of me. With this lad on the ground and being trampled on I crouched down to help him to his feet. Plod behind obviously thought I was the culprit and before I knew what had happened was being whisked off to the police van outside the ground with my arm behind my back. The next hour and a half was agony not only did I miss the match but ten minutes after KO plod dragged in the very smelly drunken and hairy fat Bastard that had started the whole series of events!
Spurs in the cup seemed to be a regular fixture in the following decades and I remember Bruce Stucky opening the scoring at the mini stand end in another encounter that saw us ultimately succumb to some Martin Chivers / Alan Gilzean magic. Trouble that night when I witnessed Colin Lee's bro Francis fighting like a savage when the police, truncheons drawn, were trying to evict him from the ground. Then of course the famous Derek Dawkins winner in the League cup and more recently a brave mid week effort at White Heart Lane only a few seasons ago.
Yes plenty of history with the mighty Spurs.
