About Me
When I was a 9 year old lad, my uncle Nat one day said to me, 'Come on boy, I'll take you off the the football...' and that was the day which changed my life. He took me to White Hart Lane to watch Jimmy Greaves make his first team debut. December 16th 1961. As soon as we got in to the stand (the shelf) I was gobsmacked. I'd never seen so many people and I'd never heard a noise like that. Lucky we had a little box for me to stand on! Of course, Jimmy did what he so often did and scored a hat trick, which sent my uncle and me completely wild. One person who was definitely NOT impressed though, was my dad, who was a gooner and had no idea what his brother had done!
