Struck the crossbar

I’ve no doubt posted this before but it’s a cracking video for any Spurs fan.
‘The club that Bill made’.

Anyway the timing was fitting. The legend passed away on October 23rd 2004 so yesterday was the 7th anniversary of his death. I’m pleased we won for him yesterday too.
I hate the use of the word ‘legend’ when it comes to football but it’s probably not high enough praise in this case.

It’s been on my mind a bit today because I can never get over the impact the man had on the club - his club.
He joined the club as a 16 year old in March 1936. Obviously the older he got the less involved he was in the club but he pretty much held a role at the club until his death in 2004. 68 and a half years! Some of that was split due to fighting for his country in WW2 but overall such an amazing contribution to the famous club I love.

People who know me will know I have a fair bit of obsession with Spurs but it’s nothing in comparison haha.
Mind boggling and he made the club it is today.

‘Sir’ Bill Nic - never forgotten

Have never seen this but wow! Fantastic homage !
