SKY SPORTS - Time of Our Lives - Tottenham Hotspur 1961 Double Winners Documentary

Really good group of lads and that was it, I think, and you know, all mixed together, all molded together and I think that was one of the great parts of Tottenham having a good

time

. to the field and of course you had a fantastic coach in Billy Nicholson exactly and uh that was the key to everything, that's right, there's no doubt about that, and we could and were able to play, we all have different strengths, yeah, that's right, and all kinds of It was a good combination and we got along well and it was, I would say, one of all the

double

s that have ever been done.

I think of all of them, I think he's been there, but Wilson said that for me he's been the best. He said that I thought Holland was the best team in the world cup. He said that he thought you were the best of the

double

teams. It was quite interesting. I scored 36 goals on that double team. That's what made me happy. I thought I'd include it, but it was really cool, you know, when he did the double and I still can't believe we did the double. It takes a lot to get in. You know what I mean?

How much of that was on Bill Nicholson? Do you think oh wow? I kept you focused the whole

time

you know, a year off, you know what I mean, we wouldn't let you get complacent, you wouldn't let that happen, I remember, I mean, and I think you have to be genuine, Jeff, you have to do it. get fit for this game because if you're not fit I mean I should never play that cup final and I said I'll never play another one I'm going to play it if it kills me and I did and that's where I was a liar by not saying anything, but I was happy when I did it.

I never let the guys down or anything because you couldn't have substitutes. So could you remember reading anything? Click on what you said Bill Nicholson and you said he knew more about the game than anyone I've ever met, that's true and you should respect that jeff, so you know, and he worked harder on the game than anyone and knew more about it and he, in a way, would say For us you will play how you train, if you train with method and effort, this is how you will play well, if you come careless and you are missing days, you will become a careless player, but he made sure that we trained effectively and uh, and he was the top man, there's no doubt about that bill, a top man, we play when qualifications are for a year, we played Sheffield United, we were winning two, one at half-time, we went in , had a real chance, he said, sitting down, what a song, sitting down. in the stands and look at this Jeffy and I play, who's upset, you said well, he was winning, it doesn't matter who wins, he said it was, I've never seen him like a man in a long time, angry, he should be a player like that and say Now, if they beat you, we beat three, two, incredible.

He won, but he was so dedicated that he dedicated himself to the Tottenham football club. Well, he only lived 50 yards off the ground for about 50 years and was so involved with it. with

tottenham

all i remember is her daughter when her eldest daughter got married she said at that time she said i never saw her grow up and i didn't yes because she was oh it was

tottenham

she was always in the ground, right? I know and then they fired him, didn't they? Yes, that was what reaffirmed him as a legend. I went to Brighton for a year, the best of the best years I've had in Brighton.

It was an education. go to the fourth division and play because all I wanted to do was attack you every game. I added that you should try to attack me because you have been playing for England not long before. Yeah, well, I played 15 times, Jeff. We got 13 goals for England and I was still in the team when I went to Brighton in the England side. Incredible, look, those were fantastic times and fantastic memories and Terry Cliff Bobby.
