On This Day In Spurs History: April 14th
1967 – I must admit that when I mentioned Nicola Berti’s goal against Coventry yesterday and gave headline space to his famous song, I was unaware that it would be his birthday the very next day.

The Goons pulled one back, but in the second half Gary Lineker hit a tame shot, that was nevertheless strong enough to fly through David Seaman’s crisp packet hands and into the net. 3-1, we beat the Scum 3-1, we beat the Scum 3-1, 3-1…
