I am taking my nephew tomorrow. He's been to other games but this is his first game against the goons. He is in for a treat!
My first ever game was against them back in 1976. At that young age I didn't understand about the rivalry before the game, my dad followed Spurs but he didn't have any lifelong allegiance, he came to this country in his twenties. That game in 76 was just my first chance to see Tottenham live. We drew the game, I can't remember too much about it (I couldn't even see most of it), apart from Willie Young getting sent off. But somehow, from the crowd and the atmostphere, I imbibed this all encompassing hatred of the Arse. And a total love of Spurs. And both have lived with me ever since.
Not sure of the point of this post. Just getting geared up for tomorrow, so indulge me!
