I remember lots of articles on Spurs and players like Trevor Brooking and Glenn Hoddle. The club ditched the idea at the end of 1982/83 season. I can't believe that's 40 years ago now. i know, Really starting show my age now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Only worse season was 1919/20, when we scored 28 goals in 44 games. Any old timers want to pipe up and tell us how bad the 1919 season was and how the youngsters from 1974 don't know they are born? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful, awful season. The only positive were the supporters who turned up hone and away knowing full well what shiete the team would produce during the following 90 minutes.

Blue, Orange, Purple - The best programs of that era were a couple of years earlier (73/74 perhaps) with a player photo inside. Still have a full set of that series... I remember the player photos given away in the programme. They were on card and about 6"x4". I still have quite a few of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a pitch invasion after the final whistle because me and my uncle left at least a couple of minutes early. Not exactly, but Jack Charlton was in the North Stand watching and walked across the pitch at full time to speak to the directors and take the job!

Jennz Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 "1974/75 worst season ever?" Depends on the context....if we're talking about football on the pitch it's certainly a top contender...it was dire. However...off the pitch, 74/75 plus others in the 70's, were probably the best times in following football I've ever had, I was 18/19 years old & was going to virtually every game home & away & to be part of that Wednesday faithful at that time was inspiring, I learned about loyalty, comradery & unbreakable spirit.....I've never loved football more than I did then...awesome memories, I wish I'd had the forethought to have carried a camera with me, I'd love to be able to post those images on here now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I know people get all misty eyed about the past and that’s fine, but it is almost comical to suggest any season could possibly be worse than our 20/21 season. As a reminder 1. No fans saw any matches live the entire season. 2. We finished rock bottom of the league and we were relegated 3. We were absolutely awful all season 4. We had a points deduction, a transfer embargo and stopped paying the players leading to threatened player strikes 5. We got through 6 managers, the last of whom nearly died. we will never have a season like that one ever: no fans saw any match - that alone makes it the worst season ever. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwood Owl1 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 So, I can't help myself My book on the period is still available in the megastore, Amazon and various book shops. Lots of people seemed to like it. Three people on Amazon gave it a 1* review. I reckon they were Blunts though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
