Tottenham Hotspur’s Double winning team pose for a photo together with their trophies, 1961.
Back row, left to right: Bill Brown, Peter Baker, Ron Henry, Danny Blanchflower, Maurice Norman, Dave Mackay.
Front row, left to right: Cliff Jones, John White, Bobby Smith, Les Allen, Terry Dyson.
Bill Brown: Signed in the summer of ‘59. Proper keeper, is talked about in the same breath as keepers like Clemence, Jennings, and Lloris. Steadfast in this side.
Peter Baker: Born in Hampstead, he played for Enfield before coming to Spurs in ‘52. Played one game short of 300 and scored 3 goals as a right back. Got the job done and never let himself get ruffled by any winger; he’d love watching modern fullbacks nowadays.
Ron Henry: Only ever played for Spurs on the senior level, signing in ‘52. Fast and a good tackler, sound left back. He had a plant nursery and homing pigeons, and he stayed on with Spurs as a coach for the U18s.
Danny Blanchflower: Irresistible, incredible, incomparable. There will never be another like Danny. Signing from Villa in ‘54 and going on to head Northern Ireland, he was the captain of Spurs’ Double winning side and made this great team extraordinary. He had very progressive ideas of how the game should be played, fast and attacking and being allowed to use a ball during training, and was set on the idea that the glory—doing things in style—is what is special about the game. No one like him.
Maurice Norman: Signing in the winter of ‘55, he was an absolute assured and commanding figure at the back. Scored 19 goals over his 400+ appearances for Spurs; should’ve been a mainstay at centre half for England but unfortunately his career was cut short due to a double fracture in his tibia and fibula. Integral to the success of this side.
Dave Mackay: If the word legend had a picture accompanying its definition in the dictionary, surely Mackay’s face would be smiling back up at you. Coming from Hearts in the spring of ‘59, he is still described to this day as possibly the most complete midfield player Scotland has ever produced. He never gave up playing even when the rest of the team believed they had already won. A player who inspired everyone around him, others spoke of him as the ‘hardest man I have ever played against—and certainly the bravest.’ He was known famously as the heartbeat of Bill Nic’s Double winning side. Ange Postecoglou and Son Heungmin would have loved him.
Cliff Jones: Formerly Spurs’ top fifth goalscorer before Sonny overtook him, the Welshman signed for the club in the early spring of ‘58 from Swansea. He was a crucial player in the side who played on both wings, was faster than you could believe, always put a lovely cross in, and scored goals from flying headers. Still has lovely words to say about the club and his grandson, Matt Wells, is currently a first team assistant coach.
John White: Nicknamed ‘The Ghost’ due to his runs to find space off the ball that saw him arrive unexpectedly in the opposition’s penalty box, he was one of the most skilful players to ever don the shirt. Signed in the autumn of ‘59. His name bleeds into Spurs folklore as he was being primed to be the next Blanchflower but tragically passed away prematurely when struck by lightning while playing golf in ‘64. His teammates say about him: ‘While other players were someone you would have to bring into a game, John would bring himself into the game.’
Bobby Smith: For the days of centre forwards like him! Currently Spurs’ third top goalscorer, he joined from Chelsea in the winter of ‘55, clearly having recognised which the superior London club was. Twelve hat tricks over his career with Spurs, he was big and bustling and scored goals like nobody’s business. He scored 33 goals in 43 games in the Double-winning season—not too shabby.
Les Allen: Joining the club in the winter of ‘59, he immediately struck up a brilliant and lethal striking partnership with Smith, scoring 27 goals that Double-winning season. While living in Smith’s shadow a little and struggling to retain his place in the starting XI with the arrival of Jimmy Greaves, he was still an essential part of this side’s success. His son Clive Allen and his nephew Paul Allen both went on to play for Spurs.
Terry Dyson: A player who would nowadays be dismissed by talent scouts due to his height and is often not remembered in this side, but was the catalyst to Spurs’ success that season. He signed for the club in ‘55. A snappy winger who could put in a good cross, he is the only Spurs player to score a hat trick in the North London Derby to date. You can still find him trawling around academy matches.

Monday After the ’19 Masters
By ED TRAVIS
Tiger Woods is back. It’s almost like he never left, and his two-stroke win over a trio of first-class younger players plus the self-destruction of Francesco Molinari gave the Masters a compelling finish. It was a must-see even if you aren’t a Tiger fan.
Not mentioned by the CBS TV coverage is the fact the purse was increased this year to $11.5 million up $500,000 from the last two years which meant Woods take for his 15th major was a record $2,070,000 or $90,000 more than Patrick Reed last year and Sergio Garcia in 2017.
It has been pointed out, perhaps with some significance, the Masters is not run by the USGA and as is true week to week on the PGA Tour there were no rules controversies. That may be a cheap shot, but the proof will come at Pebble Beach in June and when the USGA-run U.S. Open is held.
Prior to the 83rd bestowing of the green jacket Augusta National Golf Club further strengthened its connection with amateur golf exemplified by the club’s co-founder Bobby Jones with the first Women’s Amateur Championship. The finals were played the previous Saturday followed on Sunday with the Drive, Chip and Putt competition for 80 youngsters in four age groups.
Along with the Wednesday par-3 contest these events are each important in their own way but merely the preamble to six amateurs and 81 pros teeing it up on Thursday.
One of what many at the time considered a “reality lapse” occurred prior to the start of the tournament when oddsmakers had Tiger Woods listed at 14 to 1 to triumph, the same guess as Justine Rose’s chances (missed cut) but less favored than Rory McIlroy (T21) at 8 to 1. The kicker though is someone placed a bet on Woods to win at those odds, plunking down over $80,000 for a payout of more than $1 million.
Having no significance at all was the new logo Woods displayed on his pre-tournament shirt, a depiction of his tiger headcover he calls “Frank.” That along with his on-course gum chewing each day merely gave the media something else to talk about.
What can we take away from this years Masters? Several things starting with the long ball hitters didn’t win. Tony Finau led in driving distance and finished in a tie for fifth while Woods averaged 10 yards less in 44th spot which in fact was two yards less than the field average. Nor did Woods putt lights-out having 120 putts over the four rounds earning another 44th place with the field averaging more than one-half a stroke per round better. What we can say is, though his driver accuracy was not tremendous at 62.5% (T47) his greens in regulation was superb at 80.56% (1) and with 22 birdies he was only three behind Xander Schauffele who had the most with 25.
It proves again as it has in the past and contrary to what those who say the ball goes too far, being able to hit the ball on the green and make a score wins more often than not.
We also were shown how vulnerable Augusta National is when played in soft conditions and little wind. The lack of firmness on the greens allowed many shots that would have been long gone to hold. The greens rolled much slower taking away at least some of the usual terror of previous years. Woods score of -13 was 1.4 shots lower than the average of the past 10 Maters but one stroke higher than Patrick Reed’s 2018 win.
It goes without saying next month’s PGA Championship at Bethpage Black can’t come too soon to give Tiger a crack at his 16th major.
