"There was one player in particular who captivated me; entertainment value apart, it was a sheer education to watch him perform. He was Danny Blanchflower.

"It was a fair journey from Dagenham to Tottenham when you are a schoolboy. But I made the trip regularly by train. For I was a Spurs supporter and for two seasons I hardly missed one first team match at White Hart Lane.
I was really 'sent' by Spurs in those days. Yet when the time came for me to join a big club, I chose Chelsea. Spurs were interested, but I was looking ahead. Because Spurs' glittering array of talent I felt opportunity might be limited for me at White Hart Lane."
