Book excerpt: RE-EDITED 30th JUNE 2021 PLEASE DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION OF BOOK In 1961 Tottenham Hotspur created history when they became the first team to win the ‘Double’ in the 20th century. Though Manchester United (three times), Arsenal (twice), Chelsea, and Liverpool have all won it since, those achievements were undoubtedly magnificent, but there was something about that Tottenham team of 1961 that remained immortal. Perhaps it had everything to do with their style, and the players who achieved the Double. Spurs success certainly kick started what became known as the ‘Golden Era’ of English football. Their manager Bill Nicholson belied his shy, and retiring nature off the pitch to create one of the most flamboyant teams Britain has ever seen. Though he won many more honours in his reign as manager including another F.A. Cup, two League Cups, and helping Spurs become the first team to win the UEFA Cup his ‘Super Spurs’ team of 1961 was undoubtedly his finest creation. At the end of the book is a section advertising available memorabilia of Spurs success.

Back in the 50s, the Compton brothers made their mark at Arsenal whilst Newcastle United went more cosmopolitan by including two Chileans, the Robledo brothers in their F.A. Cup winning teams, also in the 50s. In the 60s, the Charlton brothers came to the world’s attention, particularly when they played successfully together for England in the 1966 World Cup final at Wembley. They also became players in their own right at their respective clubs. However, for football families, none are more lasting or enduring in the game than the footballing Allen’s. Since Les Allen starred for Spurs in their Double-winning team in 1961, others have followed in his footsteps: siblings or uncles, nephews or cousins. Two famous Allens followed in Les’s footsteps in marking their mark at Spurs in the 80s, Clive and Paul. They even lined up together in the 1987 F.A. Cup final. This is a short celebration of the life and times of that famous Allen Trinity, who made their own particular mark on one of the world's greatest football clubs. So, sit back and enjoy the journey and relive some of those great occasions in Spurs history when the Allen family truly earned their Spurs at White Hart Lane.
