Is ad a little like chiv.?

Long time ago, in a country that was completely different than it is today, england by the way, my local newsagent (and yes he was jewish) use to refer to martin chivers as marmalade,(after the chivers marmalade jam)
He had a business near the lane in the 1960s , Mullish newsagents, anyway i use to spend many a morning getting my fags and newspaper talking spurs, he just loved chivers, peters and greaves, and often use to talk of the great danny blanchflower..................what he would make of e,to making quarter of a million today i dont know.
He died of heart problems back in the 1970s, but i thought of him today when i heard we are on the verge of signing adebayer.
Alf Mullish would have loved this signing, a big old fashioned centre forward, putting himself about as chivers use to.
Great signing, i dont know what his problems are, maybe like gallas he likes committment from other players, and he loses heart.............? god knows.
we have to trust that harrys man management skills are spot on with this signing.
He will get goals and city will regret selling him on because bale,lennon and modric will give him loads of ammunition.

nice read lew. i cant comment though as they where before my time

Thanks lought, they were great years young man, you would have loved the bill nic era !
It was long before crowds determined how big a club you were, because spurs were on a par with every other club in the old first division.
I am sure you would have loved big mike england, phil beal the unappreciated work horse, the safe hands of pat jennings, do you know they reckoned pat jenning hands were as big as a dinner plate. LOL.

Jimmy Greaves was a cheeky cocky goal scorer who made it look so easy, he would have been worth £50 million today.
Martin peters was described by alf ramsey as ahead of his time, not sure of that but that team was so entertaining.
Ask len..i am sure he remembers it well, in years to come lought you will be telling your children of gareth bale, modric, berbatov,vdv.....but i am thinking will they be thought of the same as those old 1970s heroes.?

Hi Lew, I hope you are feeling much better. Anyway good post, just one thing, well two thing's, when you said to Lought about him telling his chlidren about the all time great's he would have seen playing for Spurs, you mentioned Bale, Modric, Berbatov and VDV, but failed to mention Crouch, I just can't understand why as he is Loughts favourite player. Secondly, I do not for one minute think that any of these players are as great as Jones, Gazza, Chivers, Hoddle, and many others I could mention but will not as I would be here all night, but that's just my oppinion.

my Dad made us watch them spurs films, was it gregorys girl.
