FORTY YEARS OF HURT
The Double Series is written by the eminent Brian Judson
Spurs Odyssey is proud to have been chosen to exclusively offer you the chance to purchase this beautiful bone china plate, commemorating the marvellous first modern Double victory in 1960-61 by Tottenham Hotspur football club.
The plate is full size (larger than shown here), and would make a perfect display in a case or on your wall, or indeed on your mantle-piece! The plate has been hand-crafted in The Potteries at Stoke-on-Trent, by William Bates & Co.
As you can see in the image shown here (picture shows some reflected light), a lot of thought has gone into the design, which is in the style of a clock face, with Bill Nicholson and the League Championship and FA Cup trophies in the centre, surrounded by the 12 most prominent members of the squad that lifted those trophies. Those players have been shown in the position relative to their number - Brown, Baker, Henry, Blanchflower, Norman, Mackay, Jones, White, Smith, Allen, Dyson, and Terry Medwin, who has been chosen as "Number 12", as he was the most regular player other than the first eleven.
Spurs Odyssey is not on any commission, although I am very glad to have received a plate which will proudly be displayed above my staircase, with the classic Mackay v Bremner photograph. I can vouch for the perfect finish of the plate, and wholeheartedly recommend it to you.
If you are interested, then the price is just £15.00, plus £2.00 p & p (UK), or £5.00 (sterling) p & p from anywhere other than the United Kingdom.
Please send your orders to William Bates , and don't forget to mention Spurs Odyssey! (All you need to do is to click on the highlighted e-mail link)
