A win tonight for Ron Henry

It would be wholly appropriate if Tottenham Hotspur won in style tonight in the FA Cup Third Round Replay against Burnley at White Hart Lane.

A win tonight for Ron Henry


Ron Henry played in the 'Impossible Double' winning team of 1960/1961 and played in every game that season, He then retained the FA Cup in 1962 against Burnley and helped Spurs become the first British side to win a major European trophy when we won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1963.

Of course other clubs have since followed in our footsteps but it was a Tottenham side with Ron Henry that showed British clubs what could be achieved with the right approach. It is a lesson the current Spurs side need to learn.

Today was the funeral of Ron Henry, a left-back for us during those triumphant times. It is rather appropriate we play Burnley on the same day and it would be fitting if the Spurs of today produced a display and a result to commemorate a former hero.

RIP Ron Henry.
