| Description |
After an introduction by Simon Inglis, editor of the Played in Britain series, Spurs fan and celebrated journalist Julie Welch sets the scene: as the magazine launches in 1951 Spurs have just emerged from years in the Second Division to win the League title with their famous 'push and run' team, marshalled by a young Alf Ramsey. Later in the decade, under manager Bill Nicholson, a galaxy of great players come together to win the Double in 1961, the first time this feat has been accomplished since the 1890s. In Swinging Sixties London, White Hart Lane and its packed Shelf terrace become synonymous with flowing football served up with style.
Charles Buchan's Football Monthly spanned almost the entire Nicholson era, a period when Spurs won eight trophies in sixteen remarkable years, making this a book for all Tottenham fans to treasure.
