Did he invent those skin tight shirt's that Rob Keane and Postiga wear, not just on the pitch but on a night out in Soho???

Played and managed Spurs.. created and managed the double winning team of the 60's and helped spurs be with 1st english club to win in Europe with the Cup Winners Cup in 1963....

He is still involved with the club now and comes to every home game... every club has a legend (Bremner for Leeds, Shankly for Liverpool etc) and he is ours...

But Bremner and Shankly are famous...

I could pick out loads of Spurs players and managers that are 'famous', but to the club he is probably the most important person to be associated with it in the last 100 years... great players have come and gone over the decades.. Leeds have only had 1 great team and managed to just miss out on everything apart from a cup... but luckily most of our other legends have picked up a trophy at some point during their time at spurs
