THE GLORY YEARS 1899-2017-IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENT

On the 11th October 1958 Tottenham Hotspur played Everton FC in a Division 1 league match (in those days this was the top division) at White Hart Lane and won 10-4. Nearly 38,000 watched what was Bill Nicholson's first game as manager. I missed yesterday's anniversary.

Bobby Smith (with his right hand on the cup) the bustling England centre-forward scored 4, Alfie Stokes 2, Tommy Harmer, Terry Medwin, George Robb and John Ryden one each.
(can you work out which players are which?)
Everton replied with Jimmy Harris 3 and Bobby Collins 1.

This will be recorded in a new book written by Martin Lipton, something to celebrate Tottenham at White Hart Lane and their history from 1899-2017.
