Seems strange (for someone like myself who first got into football back in the late 1980s) that our glorious, record breaking Double winners never became champions of England again; despite Spurs paying Britsh transfer record fees when signing the likes of Greaves, Chivers and Peters.Players from the 60's and 80's often mention that they ended up having to play X games in Y weeks and it was too much in a short time period, playing through pain, playing with fatigue and they fell off the pace; we were regularly going for the league and 2 cups and couldn't hack it and ended up with nothing or a cup, so fatigue has always been a massive factor. We should have won the league more in the 60s and 80s.
Whilst I see that our very own Dave Mackay managed to guide little old Derby County to a 2nd title in 4 seasons after leaving Spurs.
