spurs v stoke city notes

 

29.04.1965 Jimmy Greaves, Alan Gilzean and Cliff Jones play for the Stanley Matthews XI in the famous winger's farewell game at the Victoria Ground against a star-studded World XI.  For taking part they were given the shirt which was adorned with Matthews' embroidered autograph and a Royal Stafford tea service of six cups, saucers and plates, a milk jug, sugar bowl and sandwich plate.

Frank Bentley .
Garry Brooke Went to Stoke on a loan spell.
Joe Brough .
George Clawley -.
Garth Crooks Lightning quick forward in his day, he had scored regularly for Stoke City before coming to Spurs in 1980 for £650,000 to form a formidable partnership with Steve Archibald in a successful period for Tottenham.
Ray Evans A product of the Spurs youth system, Edmonton born Ray was a solid full back, who was part of the Tottenham team in the early 1970s before he fell out of favour and was sold to the Potters in 1975, where he was a regular in the team.
Ken Hancock Started his goalkeeping career at Stoke City as an amateur.
Billy Leech -.
Ian Moores Tall striker who was not the most elegant, but scored his fair share of goals for Stoke and impressed enough for Tottenham to sign him up in 1976.
Gerard McMahon Young winger, who was highly regarded, but didn't get much of a chance at Spurs, so moved to Stoke City in the early 1990s.
James Morton -.
Tony Parks Played 49 matches for Tottenham including the 1984 UEFA Cup final, which was his career highlight - saving penalties in the shoot out after the game ended all square.  Moved around after that and spent a spell at Stoke City.
Jimmy Robertson Flighty winger, who joined Spurs from Arsenal and left for Ipswich Town, later played for Stoke City in the early 1970s.
Paul Stewart Striker turned midfielder, who Spurs signed from Manchester City found his way to Stoke City on loan after Spurs sold him to Liverpool.
